Hi, I have a spreadsheet in which I log events by date. Sometimes the last
event entered in the last row is not the most recent. Is the a way that excel
can move this row into date order?

Thanks

Why not just sort your table by the date col (ascending) at the end of the day?

Hi Max

Of course this would be the simple solution however not practical for my
needs. I need the spreadsheet to automatically keep the rows in date order.
Any solution to this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Record a macro when you sort your data.

Run this macro whenever you want to.

Thanks Dave

Thats a good idea. Im sure there is a way of making the macro run everytime
you open the sheet? Do you know how this is done?

Open a workbook or activate a worksheet?

If you mean open a workbook, you can use the Auto_Open procedure in a General
module or you can use the Workbook_Open event in the ThisWorkbook module.

If you mean activate a sheet, you can use that sheet's worksheet_activate event
in that worksheet's module.

In a General module:

Option Explicit
Sub Auto_Open()
msgbox "Hi from Auto_Open"
End Sub

In the ThisWorkbook module:
Option Explicit
Sub Workbook_Open()
msgbox "hi from workbook_open"
End Sub

In any worksheet module:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
MsgBox "Hi from worksheet_activate"
End Sub

If you're new to macros:

Debra Dalgleish has some notes how to implement macros he
http://www.contextures.com/xlvba01.html

David McRitchie has an intro to macros:
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm

Ron de Bruin's intro to macros:
http://www.rondebruin.nl/code.htm

(General, Regular and Standard modules all describe the same thing.)
