This is a brilliant form. I was looking to create a form to input my cryptocurrency transactions. I want to be able to enter the data without having to scroll through hundreds of entries just to be able to find a spot to enter new data. Thanks for the ideas. Think the only thing that could improve on this is if you did a pop up entry form.

Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial!
Is there anyway to avoid duplication of entry using app script?

[neilurquhart]

In the Google Sheet Form we connect the script function 'submitData()' to the Save Button, great, I see how that works. However I don't understand how the Sheet knows to run the 'validateEntry()' function when we did put the name into the sheet anywhere. Is it a special name that the sheet assumes ? What would happen if we added another entry form to the sheet and another database. Would the have to use same validateEntry() function to deal with each form in a different context or could we have a validateEntry() function for each form somehow ?
