Dynamic Forms For Data Entry
Apr 19, 2006I am attempting to improve an old paper-form process that we use for entering equipment in our Product database. In general, the current process is as follows:
1. When new equipment is purchased, basic information is entered into the database.
2. A separate paper form for each item is printed with the existing information and sent to the field engineer.
3. Each type of equipment has a different form because it requires different data.
4. After construction is completed, the updated information is written on the form and sent back to the main office for review/approval then entered into the database.
This is very archaic...Not only are we killing tons of trees, most specialists are getting buried by the paperwork!
What I would like to do is create a form or template that can be used with different spreadsheets. Instead of printing a separate form for each item, the specialists would dump the existing data for a site into a spreadsheet, attach the template/form, and send the file(s) to the field engineer (FE). When the FE opens the file, he would select the equipment type (using a dropdown box) and the appropriate form would pop up. He would then be able to edit the data for that piece of equipment or view the next item of the same equipment type. If he selects a different equipment type, a new form would be displayed. All changes would go into the spreadsheet and get sent back to the specialist. I’m hoping the review/approval can be done using the Track Changes feature in Excel. They then have a way to import the spreadsheet data back into our Custom database.
The basic implementation seems straight forward albeit a lot to learn. I have found many good examples in the forum; however, I’m having a problem figuring out how to handle the following:
1. Many different people create the spreadsheets and send them to different FE’s. When they create a new spreadsheet, how would my template/form get “attached”? Would they need to open a template file and add their data as a different sheet?
2. The equipment table in the database has approximately 95 fields; however, only about 20-30 of them are used for a particular type of equipment. I was thinking of using a unique list to create the form for each equipment type.
3. Since different specialists create the spreadsheets. The columns won’t always be in the same order. Is there an easy way to order columns or do you think I should use the ' find' feature to dynamically find each field? (Like I said, that may be 20-30 fields for each type of equipment, and there are currently 40 different equipment types.) Is there a limit on the number of user forms that can be in a project?
4. Finally, can you use the Track Changes feature when items are changed using VBA or a form?
The form seems like a good idea, but because the dynamic nature of the spreadsheets, the code gets rather complex.
Listing Data Forms Into Another Book
Nov 7, 2008I'm using Excel 2003
I have done this once already, so I know its possible but I cannot remember what it is called and how to do it.
I have a "form", I open it up, fill out a few different things, and then save and print it. When I save it I want it to take a few different cells information and report it into a seperate workbook, without having to open the report workbook. I use this seperate workbook to reference when I fill out the form and who it was sent to.
I remember there was a wizard that I used to get it to do all this, but I can't for the life of me remeber what it was.
Using Forms To Transfer Data By Date
Apr 9, 2005I have created a sales form entry excel workbook. This consists of 52 sales weeks for the year. A week starts on a Monday and therefore the first week for this year (2005) started on the 4th January.
As I want to run reports from the data I need to ensure that dates etc are in a certain format and that the entrys go into the correct week. I have created a "form" on the first sheet which automatically adds TODAY() as order date and then has boxes for the users other information such as customer name and price.
I now want to create a button which when clicked will add this information onto a new line in the correct week sheet. However I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this. I am aware that Excel recognises dates as a serial number and assume that somehow I can use this. I can also do the bit where I create a marco to copy the info over to the week. I would be very grateful if someone could tell me how to put it in the right week without creating numerous IF loops?

Transferring Data From Input Forms (Sheets) To Consolidated Sheet?
Oct 18, 2012I have 3 forms(3 sheets) with the same layout (fields) for data collection. I want to transfer the data from the 3 forms to a consolidated database worksheet. Every form needs to have its own rows of data. For example, if there are three forms for three divisions laid out as below:

May 5, 2009Now that the calculations are working, with the press of a button, I need to be able to select a range of dates and copy all lines within the range to a seperate sheet with the desired name under the same headings they currently reside under. I have included some modified code that is being used in another spreadsheet that was created for me, but I do not pretent to understand all of it and I no longer work with the creator of the spreadsheet. How do I use a button to open the form for date selections and entering the name of the new sheet, and then use the start button on the form to begin the matching and copying to a new sheet? If there is an easier way I am all for that too.

Jul 15, 2009I want the script to find if the value entered in the form is matching the values in column 'A' in the database and if it matches then it needs to select the cell as active cell - to populate the form details. And if there is no matching value found, the script needs to select the last empty cell of the column 'A' to populate the data entered in the form.
1) Form has 10 different fields that needs to be filled by the user.
2) Field 1 - is a text box for 'Request #' to be entered by the user.
3) After filling in all the fields - once clicked on OK, the form should search for the the 'request #' entered on the form in the database (Form and the database are in the same workbook).
4) If the 'Reqeust #' in the Column 'A' matches the the 'Request #' entered in the form, then the matching cell should be selected (Activecell -Were the data can be overwritten, with the new entry)
5)If there is no matching 'Request #' found in the database, the script should loop to select the next available blank cell in column 'A'. So that the form data can be entered.
Check If Any Entry In List Older Than 7 Days - Delete Second Double Entry?
Sep 11, 2013I am having a sheet where I keep track of when online surveys have been sent to users. The users enail address (column K) may be on the list for several times, but I need to make sure that there is at least a 7 days pause between sending the first mail and the second, depending on the visit date (column G).If there are less than 7 days between two entries with the same email address, the user is not qualified for taking another survey.
I was thinking to write an IF formula which returns either 1 or 0 and then let conditional formatting highlight and HIDE the row via a VBA loop.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow To Split Data Entry
Nov 28, 2013I am trying to find away to split up data that is entered as text into a cell,and split that text data into 3 columns. Sample text enters in a cell can be:
10-3 or 1-3-1 or 12-11-0 or 1-6 or 8-8.
As you can see, the text entry can have two or three numbers in it. I would like to split this data so it looks like this: 10-3 would be cell A5=10, cell A6=3 and cell A7 is blank.
Another example would be 1-3-1 would be split A5=1, A6=3 and A7=1.
I know about the text to column function, but that is not the case as I want the data to split automatically with a formula.

Feb 12, 2009I've created a userform that will pop up automatically when opening my workbook. My workbook will have many worksheets identified by the employee's last name, then first name (i.e. Doe, John) Etc. I ideally would like the name entry in my user form to locate the correct worksheet based on the sheet name and then all of the other data in the user form be put in the next available/appropriate row and column, etc. of that particular sheet. This user form would save me a ton of time keeping my training logs up to date, instead of having to locate each employee tab manually and then enter the data and then look for the next tab, etc.
At the end of the year I'll manually go to each worksheet and balance that year's training time and cost (as you'll see from the attached example), but I'm hoping that the user form entry will identify that "yearly balance row" as having data and would skip to the next row to begin the next year's training entry. The "Enter Data" Button would place all of the user form data (other than the name) into the appropriate row/column and I believe my refresh button will empty the user form fields, but I'm hoping it won't delete the data that was just previously entered into the worksheet.

Data-Entry Shortcut
Sep 20, 2009I'm trying to make a macro that will help with data-entry. In two columns of each sheet (columns D and J), I'm entering school grade information ("K", "Pre-K", "1", etc, up to "12"). As I move off of each cell with data so-entered, I want to have the entry formated such that "1", becomes "1st", "12" becomes "12th", etc. I've put code into "Worksheet_SelectionChange" and the code works but...
1. The cell value is not changed upon leaving the cell, only after re-entering the cell. So, I type "1" in the cell, move on (the cell value remaining as "1"), then go back to that cell and the value becomes "1st" like I want. So each cell requires entry and then (for example), left arrow, then right arrow, then move on the next cell for data-entry. Since I'm only saving a few keystrokes for each cell, this approach is just about a wash. I need to have the data changed upon leaving the cell. Is there a way?
2. There are 50 or 60 sheets in the workBook and I have to copy that code onto each sheet. Is there a way to move it to the workBook level? Failing that, is there a way to ease the process of pasting that code to each of the sheets?
