Hi all. I have research around the internet and finally found out Macro able to solve my issue. But im totally not a programmer. Hopefully someone can help me on this.

I will scan QR Code with a scanner to cell A1 and wanted cell C1 to have date and time stamp for IN. When Scanner scan the same QR Code, D1 will have date and time stamp for out. If repeat third time scanning the same QR code after a few scanning, it will appear on next row. Which means A8 with the code and C8 with date and time stamp for IN again.

Is that possible to done with Macro?

Hiker95,

Wow this is exactly as what I am trying to do. We have an expo coming up and I need to set up a system to track the entrance and exit of our vendors. I am currently stumped and need some help with setting up something just like this.

Can you post the raw data worksheet, and, post the worksheet results (manually formatted by you) that you are looking for?

Please TEST this FIRST in a COPY of your workbook (always make a backup copy before trying new code, you never know what you might lose).

1. Copy the below code, by highlighting the code and pressing the keys CTRL + C
2. Select the worksheet in which your code is to run
3. Right click on the sheet tab and choose View Code, to open the Visual Basic Editor
4. Where the cursor is flashing, paste the code by pressing the keys CTRL + V
5. Press the keys ALT + Q to exit the Editor, and return to Excel


Code: 
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

    End If

      lc = Cells(fr, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
      If lc < 5 Then

        Cells(fr, lc + 1) = Format(Now, "m/d/yyyy h:mm")

    End If
  End If
  On Error Resume Next

  On Error GoTo 0
  nr = Me.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Row
  Me.Cells(nr, 1).Select
  .EnableEvents = True
  .ScreenUpdating = True
End With
End Sub


Before you use the macro with Excel 2007 or newer, save your workbook, Save As, a macro enabled workbook with the file extension .xlsm

Remember - you can only have one Worksheet_Change Event within a worksheet.

Then scan in the Code as before.
