    Invoice and database in one

    Hey Everyone!!

    My excel is really rusty, which is why I am here begging for help.

    I need certain cells on an invoice in excel to automatically populate on another sheet. Each time the data is changed, I need the information to automatically populate on the row below the previous entry.

    So let me explain the desired end result. We want to open the invoice, fill it out, print it for the customer, and have the data we need to record and save from the invoice go into another sheet to be used as a "database."

    Let me also tell you that I do not know any programming. I did this, or at least something like this, several years ago, but can't find the file and haven't worked in excel for quite some time.

    I am using 2003 at work, but 2007 at home.

    Is there a way to do this without any VB knowledge? I appreciate ANY help I can get at this point! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

    Hi forpuppylove, I like dogs too....

    Your best bet is to search the web for Excel Invoice Template and see what comes up. Here are a few:

    It's certainly possible & I have built complex invoice systems based on this.
    Hope that helps.

    Re: excel invoice and database in one? is it possible?

    A little back story: The business I am working with is like a physical therapy for dogs. They work with dogs in the water, out of the water, in the clients home, and they do some pet sitting. While I don't actually do any of this, it is my friend who does.

    Anyway, I have the invoice built. I have the feilds that I want to populate the next sheet working. What I need to know is how to make it drop down to the next row with each invoice.

    She won't be saving the invoices, but will be reusing the template for each customer. So I want a log to automatically populate on the next sheet so she will have records for her taxes and such.

    Can either of you tell me what I need to do? Any help at all would be fantastic! Thank you so much!!!

    Re: Invoice and database in one

    I found a solution, but its not something I understand. Someone else here wanted to do the very same thing and they were able to get a solution.

    My problem is that I don't know how to do it this way even with it spelled out. Is there another way to do this without having to use VB or a macro?
    Thanks so much! I really do appreacite any and all assistance.

    Hi forpuppylove

    Please attach a workbook that shows what you have
    I have the invoice built. I have the feilds that I want to populate the next sheet working
    Show me what you want to see on sheet 2.

    Probably will require some VBA code.

    Hi forpuppylove

    Not laughing. It's actually a good effort.

    Couple of questions.

    Do you simply want to make what you have work? If so, what would you expect to see in Sheet3, Column E?

    Or, would you prefer to see more detail in Sheet3; if so, how much detail? For example, I see you have a field for "Tax"; being an old "Bean Counter", I'd like to see that as an item on Sheet3 so that I could use the summary to fill out my monthly/quarterly Sales Tax Report.

    If you wish to see more detail, what are all the services provided under each major category (Therapy, Body Work, Massage, Home Care, etc) and do they have set prices?

    We can make this simple or as complex as you like...you tell me.

    Re: Invoice and database in one

    So far, I have only put in "dummy" prices and therapies.
    I would like for whatever service has a Quantity to be on column E in sheet 3, then the drop down can go away. (I was grasping at straws when I put the drop down in, thinking that she would have to enter each line after she filled out the invoice)
    She said she only tracks by the dogs name, but I was thinking that owners name would be helpful as well.
    If the tax amount can be added to sheet 3 in its own column, then we can still pull the data for reporting purposes. (I hadn't even considered that before)
    Does that all make sense?

    You have no idea how much I appreciate your help! Really.... Thank you!!!!

    What about the other way? Create a receipt based on the row you choose with data from another spreadsheet. Is there such a thing available? Please I need it madly.

    You have posted to a thread that is 4 years old, and are linking to a third-party site that requires downloading a download manager app before you are able to access the Excel file that you claim to offer. I have no reason to trust that site and do not recommend downloading apps from such sites. I have removed your link.

    If you have an Excel template you would like to share please use our attachment feature to attach the file directly in a post, and post it to the Tips and Tutorials subforum.
