Hi all,
well, this is my first post, just really getting to grips with more functionality of excel for more than just number crunching!
Here is my problem....
I have a workbook that has several worksheets. The 2 in question are called 'Queries' and 'Archive'.
The sheet contains information in many rows and columns A to X
Rows 1-3 are my header and a frozen (rows 4 & 5 are examples and remain at all times, but are not frozen). Column A is frozen and contains a unique identifier.
Column X contains a drop down menu (datasource on a separate sheet) with options 'In work', 'Closed' or 'Transferred'. The cells in column X also have conditional formatting applied for colour coding.
What I would like to happen is when a user selects a cell in column X to read 'Closed', a prompt box appears and asks 'would you like to transfer this item to Archive' with buttons to select yes/no. If the user selects no, nothing else happens. If the user selects yes, the entire row (including column A) is moved to the next available row in the 'Archive' sheet. The subsequent blank row is then removed (not sure how to do that either!). I would like this to all happen as soon as 'Closed' is selected, with no need to separately run the macro....I work with some people who won't have a clue if it isn't automatic!
I already have a workbook macro to make the workbook open on the same page regardless of it's save point, this would make it a very useful tool in my new job (trying to impress the boss!).
I am using Excel 2010 on a windows machine but the whole thing needs to work on excel 2003.
I would appreciate an explanation of how any macro is working to further my understanding, if possible.
Many thanks
Steve
