    Simplify Multiple Transactions

    I am having a few problems with a stock sheet I have created and was wondering if there was a way to simplify the huge number of transactions.

    I am trying to keep a log of stock and need to book parts in & out of stock - thus giving a live stock figure.

    So far I am logging 'goods in' into the sheet in columns F to K (my actual sheet is much larger, and involves scrolling along lots of columns to enter fresh info) and 'goods out' in columns N to S. A simple formula then works out the live stock figure in C:6

    What I am hoping for is to enter each transaction within just 1 cell (A:6 Goods In & B:6 Goods Out) for the sheet to automatically log the date and qty of each transaction and then turn into a blank cell again waiting for the next transaction to take place. Sample11.xlsx

    Is something like this possible or just an easier way of doing it?

    Re: Simplify Multiple Transactions

    If it were me, I'd have a Master Sheet and a Transactions Sheet.

    The Transactions Sheet would simply have: Part # Date In/Out Quantity

    The Master Sheet would have: Part # Opening In (Total) Out (Total) Stock

    I'd use SUMIF or SUMIFS to keep total quantities Received and Issued which you could add and subtract from the Opening Stock Level to give a Current Stock Level. And I'd use an AutoFilter on the Transactions Sheet to look at the detailed transactions if I needed to see dates and quantities in and out.

    Re: Simplify Multiple Transactions

    Capture12.PNGHi - I'm back again.

    I have tried to incorporate your formula into my actual stock sheet but have ran into some difficulty.

    I have enclosed a screen shot of the file and the associated columns / rows (in blue).

    Could you help with the formula I should be inputting into each cell?

    Thanks

    Thanks for your input Martin. Perhaps I should have been more specific? TMS

    Re: Simplify Multiple Transactions

    Try this:

    1) Enter amounts into the "Good Received" or "Goods Issued" fields
    2) Columns F:J and N:S will be populated with quantities and todays date
