    Talking Continuous subform in Excel?

    Hello!

    I am familiar with MS Access and the construct of continuous subforms where you can add/change/delete records, but I have never done them in Excel.

    For my project, the user has a big piece of equipment (ex, car) and then needs to enter data for any parts that need replaced.

    The final report would look like:

    Car

    Line Item Number - Qty - Description - Part Nuumber - Material - Batch Number.

    So, if one part is needed, only one row would be devoted to this. If many parts need repair, devote more rows.

    Before I start banging this out, is there something like this setup already out there?

    V/R,

    Re: Continuous subform in Excel?

    To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.

    If needed supply a before and after sheet in the workbook so the person helping you can see what you are trying to achieve.

    Doing this will ensure you get the result you need!
    Hope that helps.

    Talking Thread Summary

    All,

    This thread solution is summarized by the following thread:

    http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...ot-blanks.html

    At the bottom of that thread, you will find two workbooks: one which adds rows at the bottom of a sheet, and another which adds rows in a middle section of a sheet.

    99.9% of the tough stuff was by virtue of the Excel geniuses in this forum. Thanks all for helping complete a project which will make work easier for many, many people!

    Respectfully,

    Lost
