Ok, I think I can record that easily enough.

Now to my other one. My data covers 3 separate 30 day periods, and each set
has a Turnover/Retention column (columns I, O, and U respectively). If I put
an N in any of those columns I am wanting a macro to run that will
automatically take out any conditional formatting and grey out the relevant
cells in that row. Removing the formatting and coloring the relevant cells is
easy enough. I'm thinking I'm going to have to put an IF statement of some
sort in the code of the macro to know what columns to look at.

That's the part I'm not terribly certain how to accomplish. While I know the
general gist of how to record a macro, I've never actually gone in and
tinkered around with the VB before.

Again, I really appreciate the help here. While I've been working on this
little project I have very quickly learned that I am not only more
knowledgable than I thought at Excel, but I actually know more about Excel
than anyone else in my company (at least that I've talked to so far). While I
may not know how to do everything, I do know quite a bit and I at least know
where to go for good resources when I need help. I'm thinking more and more I
really need to start looking at a certification of some sort. lol

Thanks again!

Perhaps something as 'simple' as a macro that after you've already inserted
the new row, then chosen a cell in the row above that has formats you need,
does a copy current row, paste special | Formats in the next row down. Could
be called from Tools | Macro | Macros or a button, or even a double-click in
specific column in row with data in it (macro could test: has this cell got
data, is next one down empty? - Yes, do the copy/paste special operation, no
- ignore).

Just spitballing here.

This would be similar to how a new line is created in an

table when you input a new record. Any suggestions?


What formatting, where?


The formatting in previously entered rows. Each time I input a new person
I
will need a new row inserted below the one I use, and would like to keep
the
formatting used on previous entries. Does that make any kind of sense?


Yes it does, but there is no row insert event that we can piggyback onto, so
we need some other cue.

After you insert a new row, is there something that you always do to the
same column in that new row that we could monitor for, something that you
wouldn't do on a normal update of the row?


Where is the Y/N columns?
Rows I and O respectively. Anytime an "N' is input into either one of the
columns on any person I want that person's row to be shaded dark gray.

Thanks for your help!
