    Need Help with making Inventory Sheet: Removing items and logging the date

    Hey everyone,

    I am new to excel and have gotten stuck at a point where I would appreciate any help. My main goal is that I have inventory in a warehouse and want to add them to the first sheet of the excel sheet, which is already done and working (Add records/look up). What I want to add to this sheet is another function(Remove) which will allow me to Remove(As in when I scan the item already in the inventory and take away lets say 50 from the 100 qty. it will automatically subtract the user typed quantity. I also want to log the date and time on a second sheet with the description name, Reel ID(pretty much the same format as the first page) every time that the item is scanned to be added to inventory and every time the item is scanned to be removed with the quantity added or removed. Sorry if I wasn't clear at any point, but having the excel sheet open will help a lot ! Thanks in advance everyone !

    So you already have code to add stuff to sheet1 and this code interfaces with a barcode scanner?
    If so, where is this barcode scanner code.

    Yes, If you open the excel sheet, you will see that when you click manage inventory> add: a pop up window will open which is highlighted on the first tab. I use the scanner I bought from amazon and scan the bar code and it shifts down to the description tab and then quantity. I found this excel file template so I am not super familiar with what I need to do in order to add a REMOVE function and data log each scan into and out of inventory. The format of what I want the second sheet to look like is already there just need the code I guess.

    Re: Need Help with making Inventory Sheet: Removing items and logging the date

    You have a lot going on here and since I don't have a scanner to see what happens if I change something I'm going to play it safe.

    If you click on the manage inventory button and choose to Add/Update records, as you know if something exists it brings up the description and gives you a quantity. I noticed you can change that quantity if you like. So if you change the quantity to something less than it already was and press the button will get a message telling you that you are subtracting whatever the difference is.

    So if the amount was 500 and you change it to 400 you get a message box saying you are subtracting 100 and when you click update the quantity will change to 400 and on the second sheet you will get the information you asked for.

    I will post the code with the changes I made highlighted, and the workbook so that you can test it out. Don't test it on your actual inventory until you have tested it on the attached file and are happy with it.

    Thank you so much ! It is doing exactly what I want, would I be able to add another feature such as when I add to the quantity it logs it in the second sheet as well ?

    Not code that I wrote, but I would suggest that you might have changed the name of your sheet from "sheet1" to something else and that's why you are having a problem. Looking at the picture you posted I see that you have a sheet named "Inventory" and one named "Log", the code is referring to a sheet "sheet1" which doesn't exist.
