Hi Everyone,
Although I have used Excel to produce simple spread sheets, I am new to using VBA and macros. I am struggling with creating a macro that will do a fairly simple task and I have found a YouTube video that seems to do what I want but having created it by heavily copying from the video it doesn't run against my data table.
The data table has simply two columns Column A records a name and Column B records a time in seconds to 1/100 th of a second. This is
for a slot car racing feature at a local charity fete and records and sorts the times and the names with them automatically when a new name and time are added. This is an example of the table. The data
from the lap timer
would be entered manually on the next line blow the end of the table

Note the table can be either as long as necessary or have a limit of say top 25 times providing the slowest times drop off the bottom.

When a new row is added (name in col A and time in Col B) when I press 'Enter' I want the table to sort the new data into its position in the current table. This is the macro I have which as I mentioned above has been heavily borrowed from a youtube video, but my needs are to have a name (i.e alpha characters) in col A whereas the one in the video used numeric.

The last time I ran the macro it resulted in a pop-up box that referred to a syntax error and the 2 lines were highlight in yellow and blue

The video on YouTube can be viewed at: https://www.bing.com/videos/search?...E5E308D14561DF600E2BE&view=detail&FORM=VIREHT<strike>

Any help that you can offer would be appreciated, but I have spent a few days now reading about macros and haven't been able to resolve the issues. Now I'm panicking because I need this for Saturday!!!!!

Many thanks
Pete

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
