Hi All,

I'm a complete Macro Beginner and trying to learn but struggling.

I've currently creating a new Spreadsheet that will need new members of staff added into a list on the first page so users can enter the names, the names will then link into sheets for Weeks 1-13.

Issue I'm having is, if someone needs to be enter more names then I'm trying to create a Macro so it will add an extra row to the Table on Page 1, then also add columns on Sheets 'Week 1' etc. with all the formulas and formatting.

The main aim is to have an unlimited amount of Names being able to be entered.

I'm happy to send the sheet I've got at the moment as I agree, I've not explained it very well what I require.

Any Help will be great - and please remember, I'm a complete Beginner to Macros so if anyone knows a great website to learn it all, please send me a link :)

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
d444nyc,

Welcome to the MrExcel forum.

1. What version of Excel and Windows are you using?

2. Are you using a PC or a Mac?


To start off, and, so that we can get it right on the first try:

Can you post a screenshot of the actual raw data worksheet?

And, can you post a screenshot of the worksheet results (manually formatted by you) that you are looking for?

To post a small screen shot try one of the following:
