After the input box steps, add the following

================================================== ====================
If WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Name, Columns('input column number where names
are stored')) 0 then
' code to add count to existing name in list
Else
' code to add name to list
End If
==================

If the name list is in a single row:
If WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Name, Rows('input column number where names are
stored')) 0 then


to add count to an existing cell
Range("A1").Value = Range("A1").Value + 1

to find the row containing Name:
use a find function or a match function (in code)

Hi,

i written a macro where an inputbox retrives the user's name,
and then a welcome msg to the user is then displayed in a msgbox..

The names of the user's who enter their name in this login inputbox,
is compiled into row1 of a spreadsheet...

i was wondering if anyone could help tell me how i could,
take the data entry and ensure it doesnt repeat itself while it adds
to the rows...
example :- if the the macro below is used and the name Tim is used
3 times, it will appear from cell a1-a3 in the spreadsheet..

i was wondering how i could make it so that the names wont be repeated,
and a counter can be added on the next row of each name entry.

Basically i want my macro to be able to compile a list of users and the
number of times they logged in... not having duplicate entries as well..

could someone view my coding below n advice?

thanks awhole lot..!
