Insert row that once data from column A to W is filled in, it moves the row down? I saw something about adding a button to manually make it shift with developer insert. That would be ok, but it seems like its conflicting with the columns I have as drop down options.
Our take
If you're looking to streamline your job tracking sheet in Excel, it's possible to create a system where your data input in rows A to W automatically shifts down once all fields are filled. This can be achieved through a manual button using the Developer tab, although it may conflict with existing dropdown options. Additionally, locking specific rows for input and utilizing tables can enhance your organization. Let's explore how to balance dropdowns and automation effectively, ensuring your first row remains empty until fully populated.
Using Excel desktop app version 2606
I'm self taught with excel, I'm trying to make a sheet for tracking jobs for work. I'm not even sure if this is possible as I've seen conflicting things online. Is it possible to lock my 7th row as a input field and when I complete all columns A to W it will shift the row down? I did make tables for some of the columns to have drop downs, maybe I'm over complicating things and stuff is conflicting. I was trying to have AI walk me through some options. one was inserting a table but its not letting me.
In short the row of things I want tracked, A through W. Would greatly prefer if I could keep drop down options for some of them. Biggest thing I would love to have is the first row be empty until I fill all the fields of data out, then it shifts the row down. I have a column of a "setup date" that I will sort the list by, All I want is to be able to have a input field and not have to go to the bottom of the list to add stuff every time.

- Excel Online... is there a way to stop users from deleting rows/columns but still allow them add and delete text from cells?Ok, I'm pretty stuck on this one and am not sure why. I'm using Excel Online (yea, I know... it sucks). I'm attempting to create a filterable table in A1:M1000 that users can enter data into. Where I'm stuck is this... I want users to be able to enter/delete (delete by selecting an entire row and hitting 'delete'), use drop downs, and filter A:M all within that range. I do not want them to be able to edit anything outside of that range (so N -> beyond and 1001 -> beyond) AND I do not want them to be able to add or delete rows/columns across the entire sheet. My hiccup is coming here... how do I lock the sheet while allowing users to add data to A1:M1000, select a row and hit 'delete', but NOT add or delete rows/columns? I've attempted to lock the entire sheet but unlock A1:M1000; however users then cannot select and entire row and hit delete. Anyone have any helpful tips for this? submitted by /u/Tacticool_Turtle [link] [comments]
- How to autofill data from a row to a column on a different sheet in the same folder?I've been struggling with some solutions I've found on the forum but after 1.5hrs I'm close to giving up and manually entering data - which is bound to cost me another 28 hrs. Hoping someone has the solution I'm looking for and is willing to share.. I've exported questionnaire results from Mentimeter to Excel. The document output is formatted automatically in a way that uses columns for unique respondents, followed by their answers in the same column but along individual cells on that column's row, meaning the first entry is A2 and the last entry is in cell CQ2 or something. I would like to make this more user-friendly by: 1) putting each respondent's answers in their own sheet in the folder, and 2) by listing the questions in the first column and the answers in the next columns pretty much 'the other way around'. Currently it looks like this; the answers I need are listed in !VotersF3 to !VotersCQ3. The next respondent's answers are in !VotersF4 through to !VotersCQ4 and so on. What I'm looking for would ideally display answers in !AnswerA3 through to A80. When I manually select !AnswerA3 and click on !VotersF3, logically it does what I want. When I then drag down to autofill, equally logically the sheet enters !VotersF4 instead of !VotersB3 as it's a row vs column problem. I've tried different version of INDEX and TRANSPOSE but I can't get a working formula from that. Would anyone be able to provide me with the correct solution for doing this? I've got another 20+ respondents answers that need to be 'easy to view' instead of scrolling 500 screens horizontally.... Thank you Excel wizards! :) submitted by /u/Lost_Mud2097 [link] [comments]
- Change contents of cells based on a drop downSo, I'm trying to generate a spreadsheet to make the forms we use in the office to issue keys. When people are given an apartment, we have a sheet with all the key numbers on it, and then they sign for it. At the moment, we've got 22 different PDFs and Word documents, and it doesn't work. So, what I want to do is this. I've built the template in Excel and created a Reference sheet which will have all the numbers in it. What I am trying to do is set it up so that when you use the Apartment number from a dropdown, it populates with all the key numbers. This sounds like it should be easy to do, but my Excel brain is broken. Advice would be much appreciated! submitted by /u/Hot_Syrup_1774 [link] [comments]
- Connecting sheets where I add rows in sheet 1 but want data to stay connected and not change on sheet 2?My title sucks. But here’s my problem. On sheet 1 I have data. Most of is is in row A1, B1, C1…etc. But in sheet 2 I need to break that down into “tiers” so that it shows sheet 1 A1’s data on sheet 2 A1; sheet 1 B1’s data on sheet 2 B2, sheet 1 C1’s data on sheet 2 C3, etc. etc. Then let’s say a new group of numbers in sheet 1 starts at row A3 New group at A5, and so on. Now I know how to connect the cells =sheet1! A1, on sheet 2 etc. The problem is sometimes I need to add rows to sheet 1, but I DON’T want the data in sheet two to change. So like the data I have on sheet 1 A1, B1, C1 has been tiered to sheet 2 but a new set of data comes in and I have to change A1, B1, C1 but now A2, B2, C2 needs to live down on both sheets. How do I ensure that the rows moved down in sheet 1, also live down but stay in alignment with sheet 2? submitted by /u/stretchingmofos [link] [comments]
