Want to create a data form that automatically inputs your info into a handy data table? We can easily do this in Excel!
Check out the gif above for an example - we've got a PTO table that our team fills out whenever they need a break. Rather than needing to manually enter all of their information across rows into our table, we can have them fill out a simple data form. This will help prevent the manual mistakes that occur when multiple people are entering data into a worksheet!
To create our data form, we'll first add the command to our Quick Access Toolbar by right-clicking the toolbar and selecting "Customize Quick Access Toolbar." Now we'll select the data form command from the window on the left by selecting all commands from the dropdown and scrolling down to find the form command. We'll select the form command and click the "add" button to add it to our toolbar.
Once that's complete, all we need to do is hit "okay" to save our changes, and we're ready to use our form! Just select any cell within the data table, click the form command, and Excel instantly converts all of our data headers into form format. We can add new entries by simply clicking the "form" button and filling out the form!
When our form is filled out, we'll click "new" to add our info to our data table, and that's it! Say goodbye to data entry errors!!
