Marking rows
Hello,
We have an Excel spreadsheet which will be used to present data to operators who will manually copy and paste data into data entry forms. (The processing is just too complicated to be easily automated) Each sheet will have a column used byt the operators to mark rows as processed. I could just have the operators type a letter. Is there a simpler way to accomplish this? In a VB form I would use a checkbox. Any help will be appreciated. Ragnar |

Ragnar,
It is not any simpler, but it may look better... Change the column character set to Marlett and have the operators enter "n" (also try... a, b, h, i ).

Thanks Jim,
That's neat! I will just tell them to enter an a, a b or an r. When I scan I can just look for a character or a blank. Ragnar "Jim Cone" wrote in message ...

you can also used conditional formatting so blank cells are yellow or some
other color. once there is something in the cell it turns white again. I use this a lot so people don't forget cells that need data. "Ragnar Midtskogen" wrote: Thanks Jim, That's neat!

Thank you Widman,
That is a good idea, maybe I could even make the cell flash in red until filled in?
