Hi folks.
How can I create a button or list entry that takes the user to a cell to add a "new item" or "new user" to a dropdown list array by way of row insertion and cursor placement... that takes the last entry in the existing drop down list to use as an "add new" "button" or trigger? The event is to add a new row to an existing named array, which automatically updates all code in the workbook, if the row is inserted from within the existing array. So the last entry in the drop down list array could (would) be an "Add New" selection for the user to choose. When the fill is performed, the action could be to test that cell content and act accordingly. The user would get switched to the array with the cursor in the left most cell of the newly inserted row. This also has the effect of keeping the cell formatting as well for solid color arrays, that is. Is this possible? I suppose a test loop that tests the cell content,or one that tests for and grabs the content even before it makes it to a cell. Anyway, when one selects the add new selection from the drop down list, instead of filling that data into the cell, it performs the insert and pop over function so that a new record can be added. I have a sheet that has about eight small,named arrays on it and use it as a master data sheet for a 'presentation' type sheet that draws much of its data from lookups to the array sheet. A simple row insertion on that sheet updates all arrays, etc. in the entire workbook. Nice job, guys. I LIKE IT! So, anyway, is this a good approach for expanding the contents of an array? Is keeping all these arrays on a single sheet a good approach? This is like yet another new form of a database configuration, in the final analysis. Thanks for any thoughts or views. At least one inquiring mind wants to know. |
