VBA form question

[dosman]

I have created a 23 column spreadsheet with data validation cells using drop down lists and a few columns that do the standard date formatting (4/18/19 displays as Thursday, April 18, 2019)

Converting it to a table is not desirable and I would love to have a user form that "pulls" the validations from the existing cells in 2 sheets. Once the form creates the next row in the sheet I need to be able to go back and adjust values in the drop down lists without having to use the form which I only need to create a new row of data.

I am not a VB coder (although I am learning) but this is above my current pay grade. I do not know if the form would require me to clear the validation from a cell to allow it to do its magic or if the form can merely mirror the validations and formatting that already exist. I need the drop downs to still be functional once the form creates the row.

The form would only require a button on the main sheet labeled "New Job" with an "Add" button at the bottom. I can create the form using the VBA editor but am not sure of the code to insert.

I am more than willing to share the spreadsheet for analysis if anyone can help.

Best regards to an awesome community.

I apologize for getting back to you do late. I really think the form is going to work as you submitted in the advance unless you think it is not. My only question is how to invoke the form from the main sheet with a button. I do not see any modules to call.

Thanks again for your assistance

Put the following in a module

sub [COLOR=#0000ff]callform[/COLOR]()
userform1.show
end sub

assign the callform macro to a button

Thank you sir!

Your welcome & thanks for the feedback

I have taken the form you created and exported it to my live data which was identical to what I sent you in the copy you worked with. The form works until I start using the drop down lists. Most are empty with nothing to choose. Was there anything else I needed to export or modify in the original to make it work with your form?

You have to fill out the "data" sheet

 

[dosman]

My data sheet is there in the original just as it was in the original. I am not sure what you mean by "fill out".

 

[dosman]

I meant to say just as it was in the copy I sent you. Sorry for the typo

 

[dosman]

I think I just understood. Your version of the data sheet was much set up to match the column labels whereas mine was all over the place. I will make adjustments and get back with you.

Here I will be for any doubt.
