Default Automatic formula entry, file save and cell blanking

Hello All,

I have a few questions that I hope you guys will be able to help me with. I
am really new to this and have absolutely no programming knowledge.

1. I am putting together an excel sheet for data collection, which can
contain few thousand entries one in each row ranging from columns 1 to 18.
Some of these cells have formulas previously entered like vlookup, len etc.
When data is entered in columns 1 and 2, the rest of the cells are
automatically filled based on these formulas. The rows from 2 to 51 have
these formulas entered in sequence. Now this is my problem: since there might
be few thousand entries, it becomes tedious to enter the formula in each and
every row, not knowing how many rows to enter. Is there any VB code that will
automatically enter the formula in the next row if it detects an entry in the
first two columns? I have tried to select and drag the cells but the formula
doest come our properly and the numbers all get mixed up.

2. After all the data is entered in the above file, the user will close it.
I would like it to automatically save (save as, so that the original file is
intact) it in a given folder in C: with a name already specified in a cell
say A1 along with the present date.

3. Since the same template would be used in different sites, again a couple
of thousands. It would be a nice option if the user could click on the save
icon, which instead of over writing, uses the save as option to save it as a
new file with name specified in a cell as mentioned above. After it saves,
the first two columns where the data has been entered should be blanked. This
will minimise user involvement and speed up the data collection process.

I have seen various codes on this site, but none were like I wanted. I also
tried putting them together without any success. Certainly hope someone out
there would be kind enough to help me out, keeping in mind that I have no
programming knowledge.

Thanks in advance.
