    Beginner struggling with form creation

    I am trying to make a database and form to enter data we currently have daily printouts for going back 5 years.
    Ideally I want to have the form designed to look like the spreadsheet printout so that it is easy for someone to enter the historical data.

    I've set up tables for:
    Locations
    Autonumber
    Location name

    Items
    Autonumber
    ItemType

    PriceTable
    Autonumber


    PriceDate
    PriceValue
    Item FK integer
    CompetitorID FK integer

    I can create a form that will allow me to input one location's two price items for a given date - a process that would have to be repeated 50 times for each locations' two prices for each day, which I don't want to have to do. I'm struggling to figure out a form entry system where the date is at the top & all 25 locations' price data gets updated with one button click (50 prices to be added to the table).

    A very rough layout of my vision is attached - all these are currently unbounded. Just a quick throw together to show what layout I'm looking for.

    As a clarification the numbers in the table represent a day's data. Clicking the button will add all the data to a table of historical prices for the two items and then clear the form of prices/date so a new date & accompanying price data can be entered.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
