Use Excel To Create Forms That Will Make Data Entry Simple , easy and Error-Free
Presenter: Mike Thomas


Booking forms, sales order forms, invoices, loan agreement forms and surveys: these are just a few examples of forms that you need to create to run your business. Smaller organizations, with limited budgets simply can’t afford to buy expensive dedicated software to manage the inputting and storage of information, however even those companies with large budgets often find that their requirements can’t be met by what is “out in the marketplace”.
Have you ever thought that you can use Excel – an application that you have right there on your computer – to create forms? You can save both time and money! The list of examples of forms that can be created using Excel is endless. By adding a splash of color, cell protection and some drop-down lists and simple validation, you can create user-friendly forms that will make data entry simple and error-free for yourself, your colleagues and your clients. If you’ve ever had to enter and edit data into a table in Excel, you’ve probably found it to be a long-winded, repetitive and frustrating experience. Knowledge of excel forms will help to take that pain away!
Join this session with expert speaker Mike Thomas, who will discuss real-world examples to help you learn how to build professional, eye-catching form-driven applications and spreadsheets. There is no “Create a Form” command in Excel. Creating forms requires the use of a number of built-in Excel features.Mike will help you understand the different built-in features that you need to build forms, and how you can use them to make your work easier, less time-consuming, and free from errors.
The training will be delivered using the latest version of Excel for Windows although much of the functionality is available in earlier versions of Excel
