Thank you for this! I’m creating a tool for employees. Will each user need to go through these steps to set up the data entry tab, or will that formatting be saved in the file itself?

When you share your file in teams, the Data Entry/form option disappears and you can not customize the ribbon when sharing a file in Teams. Is there anyway around this?

[@carlchristopher2534]

I am wondering what the limits are on the user form. How many fields or columns couldn't do? Also, since this is a cause database, can you show how to retrieve records?

[@TheNamonte]

i believe the form has a column limit of 32 or so, to retrieve records either jkust hit up and down arrows to move through the list or hit the cirteria button and enter search criteria.

[@forhadsamad4498]

[@ITCodex]

[@sezyboii]

[@sunshinerising2405]

[@japeks001]

yeah, there's no form option in Mac. :(

[@H8ssan]

Yep, Unfortunately this doesn't work for MAC :(

[@TheNamonte]

@@japeks001 thank steve-o

[@kelvindalton6118]

Which windows is this

[@BeatrizAguirre-Gutai]

Hi, I don't have the FORM option on my Excel, does that mean I do not have the latest version? What version do I need to have?

[@danielsirka3559]

This seem to be only for Windows version. Mac version does not have "Form..."

[@honeysaini6365]

How to fill this form?

[@chrisw7612]

i t be great if forms is there in the option. but. according to the net mac version its missing typical microsoft to screw this up

[@TheNamonte]

its not microsoft, but apple that prevents you from using the full functionality of excel on mac

[@chrisw7612]

I still think it’s a con charging a price only getting half a product.

[@JohnDoe-ed7vw]

I really don't get the point of this, why lose the ability to get excel to auto complete some cells based on where I am standing and use this and enter every single letter/number with no help?

[@eshitaroy9886]

DIDNT FIND IT THAT USEFUL GOT STUCK UN THE TAB PART

[@TheNamonte]

the tab part is just to get the forms button, its really not that complicated but all you need to do is right click on the ribbon to customize, then hit new group on the right (no need to rename) then select all commands on theleft side drop down and scroll donw to form and hit Add. once its in the new group hit ok. done.

[@GF3sAnimalKingdom-in5ou]

Seems a little hard to remember 😔😞
