Inventory Workbook - automated entry worksheet???
I am curious is this is possible:
I have a workbook that I use for keeping track of inventory. Each worksheet is for a different department, and the inventory for that department is contained in that worksheet. The worksheets are simple. Each contains 4 columns: Part Number, Description, Quantity, and Location. Each worksheet's data is sorted descending by part number. I want to know if I can create a worksheet at the beginning of this workbook that would allow me to enter data, hit a button, and have it stored on the correct worksheet and have the data resorted. I would like to do this to save time sorting through worksheets and resorting data. Thank you. |

It should be possible if you can write/code VBA. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Brian" wrote in message ... I am curious is this is possible: I have a workbook that I use for keeping track of inventory.

Sure ...
You might want to use a Userform as an alternative, where you enter th data field values (4 textboxes), select the type (i.e worksheet name from the workbook) from a list, and click a Commandbutton to Update an Sort the corresponding worksheet. dman -- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com |

Inventory Workbook - automated entry worksheet???
Tom,
There in lies the problem, I don't know VBA. I have used VBA before, but just in a copy-and-paste mode, someone gave me code, and I pasted it in. Is this a rather complicated thing to program?

What you describe isn't difficult I wouldn't think - but I wouldn't see
every entry requiring a new row on one of the 4 sheets - it seems like some of the existing rows would need to be updated - but then maybe you are storing transactions and not maintaining a balance. So in either case it wouldn't be difficult, but would probably be involved - so not being difficult doesn't mean it wouldn't take substantial work. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Brian" wrote in message ...

Tom,
You are corrert, I would need quantities updated for existing inventory, I hadn't thought of that. Do you know where I can look for more indepth programming help for this project?
