Previous Property

Applies To

Chart object, Range object, Worksheet object.

Description

Returns a Chart, Range, or Worksheet object that represents the previous sheet or cell. Read-only.

Remarks

If the object is a range, this property emulates pressing SHIFT+TAB; unlike the key combination, however, the property returns the previous cell without selecting it.

On a protected sheet, this property returns the previous unlocked cell. On an unprotected sheet, this property always returns the cell immediately to the left of the specified cell.
