    Auto-Inserting Percentages

    Hi Everyone!

    I'm brand new to Excel and am having difficulty setting up a spreadsheet for data analysis.

    If anyone can help on any ONE of these things, I would be so thankful to you!

    This is a craps (casino game) dice throwing tracking spreadsheet. It basically just tracks your dice throws, sums the amount of throws, the throws results/statistics, etc.

    I'm attaching the spreadsheet I've created so far if anyone wants to see what it looks like...Attachment 407486

    1) [SOLVED BY gmr4ever1] Is there any way for you to automatically press "Tab" (or another key) to go down to the next row?
    If having to input a number for Column A, press Tab, input a number for Column B, then go down to the next row in Column A to enter the next data set and so on. It's an additional step having to grab the mouse, click into Column A's next row, and start over again (instead of being able to just input the data, press a key, etc).

    2) SOLVED How do you calculate the number of rows I've entered automatically, continuously?
    As I enter the data in Columns A & B, each in a new row, the number of total dice rolls accumulates. I have a "Total Rows" sum that counts how many rolls I've made. I'm not sure how to calculate this because I start my rolls on Column A/B, Row 2

    3) [SOLVED BY gmr4ever1] How do you calculate how many times a certain number shows up in Column A?
    Each die has 6 numbers on it (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). If you have 300 entries for Die 1 (Which is entered in Column A), how do you calculate and insert (automatically, as more data is entered) that value into another cell? For example, Die 1, #1, I have the sum in Column F, Row 6. For the #2, Column F, Row 7 and so on...

    There's obviously more that needs to be done but I don't want to ask too much.

    - Jennifer

    Real quick, for #1, press tab to go to column B, enter data, then press the enter key to go to next row on column A.

    You don't have to add Rep if I have helped you out (but it would be nice), but please mark the thread as SOLVED if your issue is resolved.

    Re: Auto-Inserting Percentages

    No problem.
    For #3, If I am understanding correctly, try the below formula in F6 then drag down to F11..
    =COUNTIF(A:A,E6)
    This will count the # of times the # in the relevant cell (E1, E2) etc. shows up in column A
