    Need help making data entry easier since some information is repeated on rows.

    I have no experience with VBA. I am assuming I need it to make my data entry in excel easier. I appreciate any help or suggestions someone has to offer.

    I have created a simplied example of my real-life problem. I am hoping if I can look at the base code I can convert it into my application. See attached.

    I have no experience with VBA, so if you can provide assistance as to how to insert the code and run it, it would be greatly appreciated!

    Summary of problem:

    I have five columns in my spreadsheet: Product, Document #, Item, Category, Formula

    -I want to make data entry easier since there is repeated data in columns A and B.

    -There will always be 1 fruit entered. The number of veggies can vary from 1 or more.

    -I am open to different solutions but I was thinking a dialog box that prompts the user to enter the Product, the name of the fruit and the number of veggies might be a good solution.

    -Depending on the number of veggies specified, dialog boxes to specify name of each piece of each veggie

    -Insert the formula in column E (B x 10).

    Example 1:
    Dialog Box
    Specify Product: A
    Document #: 123
    Fruit: Oranges
    # of Veggies: 1
    Veggie Name: Green Beans
    Insert "fruit" in D2 and "veggie" in D3
    Insert formula (B x 10) in E2 and E3

    Example 2:
    Dialog Box
    Specify Product: B
    Document #: 234
    Fruit: Bananas
    # of Veggies: 2
    Veggie #1: Asparagus
    Veggie #2: Broccoli
    Insert "fruit" in D4 and "veggie" in D5 - D6
    Insert formula (B x 10) in E4, E5, and E6

    I would like to band every other product entry light blue.
