Logbook Entry at top - new row required

Copper Contributor

Hi

I recently wrote a pilot logbook with TOTALS formulas myself, and the flight entries are in row chronological order, with the latest/newest entry at the top of the spreadsheet.  How do I get the spread sheet to automatically produce a new line at the top of the spreadsheet as I am filling in the last flight details, dready for the next flight details please?

Thanks...

You would have to add VBA (Macro) to automatically add a new row.

As a practical alternative I'd suggest turning your table of data into a Table using Ctrl T and then whenever you want to add a new row just Right Click on the first row and choose Insert > Table Rows Above
Hi. Thanks. I know how to inert rows but I thought there might be a neat solution that XL could automatically add another row above the row that’s having data inputted, ready for the next row of data above...
No sorry, the best you're going to get is a one click solution with VBA so it's not really worth it given the built in 2 click solution with Tables

@Wyn Hopkins Aircraft Logbook Column has column of aircraft Registrations G-TUIA to G-TUIJ. Types TUIA to TUII are type 787-8 and TUIJ to TUIN are type 787-9.
When I type in the registration, how do i get the next column to automatically fill in the type?

Sounds like you need an INDEX MATCH Ben
