    Re: Setting up a project

    Hey Marvin,

    Attached is the first week of keeping track of behavior. It is a little time consuming entering data, but the table works out great. I attached a copy.

    I have a question(S)

    1. I'm not getting how to do a date range with this. I just entered the last day of the week and the behavior. I don't get the data until the end of the week, and trying to figure out each day as I was entering data was not working. I need to figure out how to group data by weeks, or quarters.

    2. Is there a way to automatically add a cell function to the next row when I hit the enter key?

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    Hi Andy,

    To do a group by Date, in the Pivot Table List, Pull the Date off of the Report Filter and put it in a Row Labels box above the student name.

    Lets make data entry a lot easier. I'd make the student column on the Data tab a Validatiaon Lookup. Then when you type a student it will autofill in his/her name after a few letters. I'd also fill in all the Dates after entering in the codes. There are some other tricks for entering data but see if Validation helps first. If a student has 5 infractions enter him once and then click Ctrl C to copy his name in the clipboard and then select the 4 blank cells below him and press ctrl-v to paste him 7 times. There are other ways but try this first.
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.
