In this example, the first data entry person had entered M for Male and the second had
entered F. The flag pops up to tell you that the value differs from the first data entry. You
should now check which is correct and confirm first entry if the second entry was
incorrect or confirm second entry if the first entry was incorrect. You do this by pushing
the relevant buttons on the toolbar:
.
If neither entry is correct, for example the wrong age, then instead of confirming first or
second data entry, enter a new value and then the second data entry can be confirmed.
Do this for all three sheets for each facility, ensuring that there are no errors left on the pages.
At the top of each page there is an error counter:
and a notice on whether the page is complete and ready to be imported into the consolidation
file.:
When all errors are resolved the error counter will read ‘0’ and the page is ready will say
‘Yes’
Method 2:
Using a second file called ‘Second Entry’
This means you can use a second workbook which could be on a second computer, so that
two people could enter the data at the same time, with one working on a Master file and one
working on a Second Entry file.
Method 2: Step 1: Fill in Second Entry file
1. Open the modified file named”Questionnaires Date entry and printing. xlt”, as
described above.
2. Again you will be asked if you want to enable macros. Choose ‘enable macros’ or
‘allow contents’
3. And again you will be asked: “What type of file are you working on?” Choose ‘Second
Entry’
