Default I want to scroll up for new cells, not down

Hi

Why not have a second sheet with your Headers in Row 1 and Freeze Panes
set at A2.
Import all your new data to the bottom of sheet1
On sheet2 in cell A2 enter

=INDEX(Sheet1!A:A,COUNTA(Sheet1!A:A)-ROW(A1)+1)
Copy across for as many columns as you require, then copy the whole row
down as far as required

On Sheet2 your latest entries will be at the top - working backwards

In Excel, the new blank rows appear at the bottom of the worksheet,
but this
isn't convenient to me because I am using the program for a daily log
of
incoming inventory. I've figured out how to lock the top row of cells
so that
my column headings are visible as I scroll down, but what I really
prefer to
do is have my earliest entries be the bottom of the list and my most
recent
at the top without having to insert rows at top all the time. Is there
a way
to alter a worksheet so that the infinite field is at the top and not
the
bottom of the worksheet? Can I keep my column headings locked so that
they
consistently appear at the top despite this direction change?
