Project Description:
You are the operations manager for Bulldog collectables, a small start-up company that deals with sports memorabilia. As you prepare to document your inventory, you decide to utilize a template to save time. To complete this task, you will create a worksheet based on an Office.com template; you will also use the Macro Recorder and Visual Basic for Application to automate sorting and calculations within the workbook.
Start Excel. Download and open the file named EXP19_Excel_Ch12_Cap_Inventory.xlsx. Grader has automatically added your last name to the beginning of the filename.
Delete the Inventory Pick List and Bin Lookup worksheets.
Delete the INVENTORY PICK LIST and BIN LOOKUP icons located respectively in cells E2 and F2. Then Clear all existing Data Validation in the range A1:K15.
Delete the values in the range B5:J15.
Record a macro named Sort, be sure to use relative references. Ensure the macro sorts the data in the table in ascending order based on SKU (column A). Stop the Macro Recorder and Save the workbook as a Macro-Enabled Template.
Create a form control button that spans the cell E2:E3. Assign the Sort macro and edit the button text to Sort.
