Identify New Added Rows
Could someone tell me how to write an If-then statement that will identify if
a new row is added to a range? For example, we have a range of data from A8 to J329 that covers a financial accounting system. In some cases, a new account number will be added simply by inserting a new row which throws off the template designed for keeping up with the different accounts. I need a simple flag in a cell that will change color or put an asterisk or do something so that I know a new row has been added rather than each time counting rows or comparing account numbers....is this possible? Thank you so much for your help. I appreciate it. |

Identify New Added Rows
Thank you for answering. I wish we could just recalculate, but when a new
account number is added, we have to add a new worksheet and a new account and set up a new account form. The flag would be a way that double checks to be sure that if a human adds a new row then we in our office have done all the necessary paperwork to set up the account. This template was done a long time ago but we can't get rid of it since it is part of an accounting system. What will happen is a line will be inserted for account 10-3204-XXXX for so many thousands of dollars but the word may not get passed down that this account has now been created and is active. Unless you sit down with an old spreadsheet and match the old accounts to the new ones, you may not notice that a new one has been added. If there is an easy way to show that a new row has been added (a cell that can show an asterisk or if you really want to get fancy say row 64 has been added) that is what I need. So I don't really need to have it continue to sum, since we have to recalculate anyway. Thank you so much for your help.
