    Homework - Vending Machine Problem!

    Hi everyone,

    hope y'all doing great during this pandemic..

    I have a problem I don't know how to solve.
    My homework is to program a vending machine via VBA. I have to do two kinds of interfaces, one only for the costumer (User Interface) and one only for staff (Service Interface). My problem is, that every time someone buys from the machine, the inventory is reducing by the amount that person is buying, but I don't know how I'm supposed to transfer that into the Excel sheet (Service Interface).. Do you know what I mean? After every purchase a staff can look into the Service Interface to see how much goods are still available.

    I really hope someone can help me with that bc my brain can't handle that anymore haha..

    Thankss

    Re: Vending Machine Problem!

    Nothing is more frustrating than to be working on homework and to get stuck. Without guidance, you might have no hope of finishing the assignment before the deadline. The Internet can be a big help in that respect, but without learning how to get the right answer, asking others to solve your homework questions for you simply becomes a downward spiral (and it's cheating).

    We do not want to contribute to you cheating yourself out of your education, but we also acknowledge that seeking assistance to learn a concept is a legitimate request.

    If you are genuinely interested in receiving help in the form of tutoring or coaching we require the title of your post should clearly indicate you are seeking coaching or tutoring help. Any forum members who are willing to assist as a tutor will modify their responses accordingly to facilitate your learning. Tutors don't tell you the answers, they help you figure it out for yourself; so don't expect answers, expect suggestions, or just plain hints. Also, be specific in describing the function/formula or technique you trying to learn, and tell us what you have attempted so far. Otherwise, expect your plea for homework answers to be ignored. I'll adjust the title for you since this is your first post.

    It would also be useful if you would explain how familiar you are with VBA.

    A elementary start - stock into the machine - stock out - now expand it with basic sales minus costs = gross profit.
    Use your imagination the combinations are endless.
