Data management

Imagine that you have 3 columns with 3 types of data to fill in (name, age, weight). You have to enter data for 100 individuals and want to create a sheet with the data. You enter data for one individual (with a form). What is the code for entering the data on one row and then entering the data of the second person (and thereon) to fill in the spreadsheet?

RE: data management

Hi Francisco

Thank you for your question

If you want to enter data manually using a form, then there already exists a standard excel form which will allow you to do this.
If however you wanted to enter data from an existing source, for example an access database then there are a whole set of tool (Active X Data objects) that allow you to do this easily. This is too involved to discuss here, but we do cover this on the VBA advanced course

Regards

Stephen

Excel tip:

Checking if a calculation adheres to Order of Precedence

When writing formulas you must make sure that results will be calculated as you intended.

Excel adheres to the standard order of precedence for calculations. It calculates percentages, exponents, multiplication, and division in this order before calculating addition and subtraction.

For example, =7+5*3 results in an answer of 22, not 36.

To force a calculation to be completed before another calculations, place the section in parentheses: =(7+5)*3 will result in 36.

To check how excel is evaluating a formula, click on the cell and select the 'Tools' menu, select 'Formula Auditing' and click 'Evaluate Formula'

In the dialog box click on 'Evaluate' to watch as each part of the formula is successively calculated.
