Add a new row to the "database" (macro), just copy copy formulas and formats (excel 2003)
Posted on 2011-03-08
Using the left most cell of the header (in bold), perhaps creating assigning a name to it. So the the length of the first row below can be identified, then:
-Copy the first row below the header (this 2007 verbiage, my apologies, but we doing this in 2003)
-Paste (only formats and formulas) and move down the current cell contents down one row.
This simplifies the adding of new data to the "table". Please include excel workbook with the solution.
See attached.
Thanks,

JP, Something like this, with the name StartData added to cell C7?
Thomas
Sub asdgfasg()
With Range("startData")
.Offset(1).EntireRow.Insert
.Offset(2).EntireRow.Copy .Offset(1).EntireRow
.Offset(1).EntireRow.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants).ClearContents
End With
End Sub

Thomas,
Real nice. It looks good. Just tried it, I guess time is the best test.
Will post again if I encounter problems.
Thanks!

If the first row contains all formulas, you will get a fatal error with Thomas' macro. Here is the patch:

Macro--Add-rows---same-formatQ26.xls
Sub NewRecord()
Dim rg As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Range("HeaderRow")
.Offset(1).EntireRow.Insert
.Offset(2).Copy .Offset(1)
On Error Resume Next
Set rg = .Offset(1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
On Error GoTo 0
If Not rg Is Nothing Then rg.ClearContents
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Brad,
Great, and thanks for sharing that one! I am wondering why does the new row inherit the height of the header row and not of the row below the header. Ie. try increasing the height of the header row and then apply macro.

inserting a row gets the default format from the row above, that's why. So an update to avoid the row height issue could be:
Sub asdgfasg()
With Range("startData")
.Offset(2).EntireRow.Insert
.Offset(1).EntireRow.Copy .Offset(2).EntireRow
On Error Resume Next
.Offset(1).EntireRow.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants).ClearContents
On Error GoTo 0
End With
End Sub
