Why not just use autofilter to filter out the date, then just input directly
into the filtered row? Much simpler?

Input appropriate col headers into A31:F31
Select the range A31:F429
Click DataFilterAutofilter to apply it
Then for your data entry, just select the date from the autofilter dropdown
in A31, and input as required directly into the filtered row.

You could pre-apply the DV for the exam numbers directly into the range
D32:D429

I have students which can arrive any day to take an exam, they take approx 45
exams.
Col A32 Date (2/2/2009) goes all the way down till into next year (A429)
Col B32 Day (Monday)
Col C32 "Blank"
Col D Exam number (manual entry via Data Validation)
Col E Grade Recorded (Need to automate)
Col F Date the Grade was recorded (need to automate)

Once they completed their exam, I would input (Somewhere at the top of the
sheet) the following: Date Exam Taken, Grade Received, and Exam number and
click on a button to input that information in the columns listed above.
The data which I input should correspond to the date in Col. A

Ex: if i type in today's date A1, B1, C1 as 2/9/09, Grade A, exam # 345
I want the formula to search for the date in Column A, and input the
information in its respective columns.
Next time they come in to take an exam, I would like to type in A1, B1, C1
the new information and so on.


I hope this makes sense.
