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?

How about a nice worksheet_change macro that when the last cell on the
current row is filled in auto inserts a row ready for the next entry?

Go to the bottom of the worksheet (or as far as you feel you need)
Enter the new data in the last row; when the last cell is finished tap the
UP and the HOME keys to move to column A of the next row up.
Any help?

How about

Assuming the incoming log is never more than 1000 rows deep, label is in
row1
automate this:
insert 1000 rows after row1;
import new log to row2 down;
work from last row up, delete blank rows

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
