    Question Attempting to make my homemade inspections tracker easier to use

    Hello,
    I currently conduct around 50 inspections a month and each is resulted as a pass or fail. If it fails, I have to input what category fail it is and the reference that tells them they are wrong. I have a product that I made and it works, however it is difficult to add and delete the extra rows without having to check all my formulas and fix my colors. I am always copying and inserting copied rows if I need more space. Than I'm forced to merge the other cells to make it look decent and wrap the text. If the inspection results in multiple areas of failure, I have to add an extra row for another major or minor finding. if anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated. I also leave this job in the near future and I would like this to be user friendly so my turnover can use it even if he's horrible with excel. Thank you for the help. Attached is a sheet with a few of my inspections and the data I use to track it. Thank you for the help. I'm also not sure if my attachment is here or not. Please let me know if it is not.

    First observation: you should separate the collection/recording of the base data from the reporting: very pretty but far from practical.

    A single table with all inspections is needed: add a a column for inspection type ("Special Inspections"," Quality Verification Inspections" etc)

    The reporting (to be done on a separate sheet) has much unnecessary duplication as tables in row 52 down only repeat data from earlier "summaries".

    And avoid merged cells.
    If that takes care of your original question, please select Thread Tools from the menu link above and mark this thread as SOLVED.
