RE: List management

Hi Rafael

Thank you for your question.

You can use a form interface in Excel to enter or edit information stored in an Excel list/database.

To enter data through a form interface:
1. Go to Data - Form.
2. Click the New button on the right hand side to add another row/record of information to the list/database.
3. Click Close.

To search for and edit a row/record:
1. Go to Data - Form.
2. Click the Criteria button on the right hand side.
3. Type in the criteria you are looking for from a specific field or fields.
4. Click the Find Next button to display the next row that contains the criteria you have searched for.
5. Edit the row/record information if you wish.
6. Click Close.

I hope this helps.
Amanda

 

Excel tip:

Naming and Using Constants

Constants make calculations easier so worksheets are more easily understood. Constant values also need to be given relevant and memorably names. It is also easier to change the value of a constant.

For example:
Instead of entering 17.5% in each cell when you generate a VAT amount you could name a Constant "VAT" and assigning a "0.175" value to it. To do this:

From the 'Insert' menu select 'Name', then select 'Define'.

Enter the constant
