Hi,

I have a worksheet I use that lets me add records by clicking an add button. Worksheet uses macros/VBA. Each new entry id is auto incremented by 1.
GG1, GG2 etc

I want to start from scratch so the first entry I add will start from GG1.

Is there a way of resetting the sheet?

I have manually deleted existing entries but it still keeps adding from last entry id.
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
You need to post the VBA code that's behind your "Add" button - so that we can see how the incrementation works.

This is the Add code below.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim Owner As String
Dim Coordinator As String
Dim Description As String
Dim RiskType As String
Dim RiskCategory As String
Owner = ComboBox1.Value
Coordinator = ComboBox2.Value
Description = TextBox1.Value
RiskType = ComboBox3.Value
RiskCategory = ComboBox4.Value
If Owner = "" Then
If Coordinator = "" Then
If Description = "" Then
If RiskType = "" Then
If RiskCategory = "" Then
Unload Me
Exit Sub
End If
End If
End If
End If
End If
