This week, I’ve chosen not to write much. Especially because what I want to share is better appreciated audio-visually. That’s why I’ve added 2 of the user demonstration videos for my Excel-VB driven apps to illustrate my point.
And what is the point? It is that when you’re a business user of Microsoft Excel, especially as an accountant, you will find it periodically necessary to build and interact with large spreadsheet tables with lots of columns and rows.

PII 024: Use Custom Modeless Floating Data Entry Forms to Effortlessly Post Unlimited Entries into Large Spreadsheets Without Stress (Video Demonstration from Real Life Apps)
This week, I’ve chosen not to write much. Especially because what I want to share is better appreciated audio-visually. That’s why I’ve added 2 of the user demonstration videos for my Excel-VB driven apps to illustrate my point.
And what is the point? It is that when you’re a business user of Microsoft Excel, especially as an accountant, you will find it periodically necessary to build and interact with large spreadsheet tables with lots of columns and rows.
Doing so will necessarily involve scrolling in different directions for long periods and that can sometimes get both confusing and tiring. It can also be quite hard to find specific data you’ve entered after some time.
In thc course of building bullet proof custom automated Excel-VB driven apps for clients, I discovered that some of them did not want to learn to do what I did. They just wanted me to do it all for them. And they were often prepared to pay to get an app that was novice-proof.
In order to deliver that kind of benefit to them, I had to come up with creative ways to enable them do their work using my apps. The result was that I began using modeless data entry forms, customized to do what the client wanted.
That included auto-scrolling to select specific cells in huge spreadsheets containing over 50,000 records, with over 100 columns of data.
They loved me for it. and told others about me as a result. In this edition I invite you to watch the videos below, and listen as I explain how my custom floating data entry and report generation forms work in the apps featured below.
If you’d like to know how I can help you incorporate such smart form automation into your existing workbooks, click here to send me a message.
