    Data entry/ forms

    Here goes….

    I am trying to develop a way in which I can standardise data entry.

    I am developing a system for a project developer, who needs a way to easily enter project details and a way in which to retrieve useful information such as the “total number of invoices”, “max value of invoices” etc.

    First method

    I have tried designing a template but that hasn’t worked very well. I recorded a macro, which would select the template (filled out), and copy and paste it in to another sheet where projects would be stored. The first project when saved is fine; however the second overwrites the first project entered.

    Second method

    I tried developing a form but I am not that good with VB editing. I need some major help.

    Thanks.

    Good morning sukhi_01

    ...and welcome to the forum!!

    You woule be better off tabulating all the data on one sheet if possible, and then use Excel's built in data entry form. Highlight all your data range and go to Data > Form.

    If you really want to design your own userform, you're going to have to learn VBA. I have attached a very simple example workbook which demostrates how to collect names and addresses using a userform.

    Have you looked at the example code provided by Domenic? It shows how to find the next row & then add the entries from the userform to that row. You need to add similar code to your userform.
    Hope that helps.

    Hi sukhi_01

    From the VBE, go to the userform design, find a blank area of the userform and right click and select View Code. You will see all the code and how it controls the userform.
