I am creating a spreadsheet that multiple users will input data, tracking certain tasks. Example

name S shift E shift task start end total
Joe Shmo 12:00 10:30 task1 1:15 1:47 0:32

The name will be selected from a drop down selection. Once the name has been selected the shift start and end time will be inserted from a lookup table. The user then selects the task from another drop down, enters the start and end time and the total is displayed. I want to create a Y/N input cell that if selected Y, the same name is inserted in the next line (reducing data input) the user when then just have to add the task and times. If N is selected the a popup would remind the user to save the data. How can I do this?

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Just set up data validation for the cell where the Y/N would be input so user could select Y or N from a drop-down. Then in Sub Worksheet_Change for that worksheet you could enter code that would do the things you want done if the Target cell being changed has the same address as the Y/N validation cell.
