Hi Sunny

There are two ways of approaching this. In both cases you need to have your data in Word stored in a table.

Firstly you can copy the table from Word and paste it directly into your Excel sheet.

Alternatively you will need to make sure your Word document contains only the table of data then save the document into a format that Excel can work with such as text file (.txt) or comma separated values (.csv). Saving your information in these formats allows Excel to keep track of the structure of your data when you carry out the import. Once your file is saved go back to Excel and from the Data menu choose import external data and change the Files of Type drop down box to list Text files. You should then be able to browse to your word file and select it. After you click on OK Excel will ask for any information it needs to understand your data then import it into your current sheet.

With your data imported you can call up the data form by clicking in your data then from the Data menu choosing Form.

I hope this helps Sunny. Do let us know if you have any other questions about this topic or Excel in general.

Kind regards,

Andrew

Vba tip:

Good coding practice

It is important that you always comment the VBA code that you write. By doing this it will make the code much easier to read, as both yourself and other people will be able to see what the code is doing or meant to be doing. This is very important if there is more than one person who writes code in the company as you may have different styles of coding and may not really understand what the other person is trying to do. Also if you write some code and then do not touch it for a year or so you may actually forget what it is meant to be doing. so it is very important to include comments throughout your code and try and make sure that they are as useful as possible
