HOW TO USE EXCEL to Create A Fillable Form With A Submit Button - COMPLETE TUTORIAL

[@susangustafson8202]

How do I save this form as a Template

[@MelCompton]

Hi Susan. When you go to save as there is an option in the drop down called "Excel Macro-Enabled Template." It's a .xltm extension which should work with the Visual Basic Script. Let me know if you have any issues! Thank you and have a great day! :)

Hi Melissa, this is really helpful! I hope you could also do another video, instead of sending it via email. The information will dump to another sheet on the same file. Thank you!

[@nirranjankaayatek9200]

I truly appreciate your exceptional effort in meticulously addressing nearly every specific requirement for those Excel forms. Thank you for your outstanding work!

[@sharleejohnstonbrosnan2854]

Thank you so much Melissa! You are an excellent teacher.

Thank you! I'm glad it helped!

[@RobertRudzek]

Hiii! First of all, super helpful video.

[@PureSearch-bw3li]

Your style is easy to follow. You are a brilliant and a super effective teacher!

[@urdecisionisurs]

great video, I used some of the information you shared to create a form in excel, then the user can print it as a pdf so they can digitally sign it. thank you for sharing this.

[@MumbleCuss]

Thank you! This was very helpful.

Hi Melissa C., You're a RockStar! At times(for me), Excel is an alien from another planet, 🤯. Your visual instruction is great! The topics that you cover, examples and tips that you share are perfect; most of all, your voice is not annoying 🙄 its easy listening 🙂. Their are some Excel docs I need to create at work and your video is one of the first videos I viewed👌and will be referring to it ALOT, TY 👏👏🫶

[@MelCompton]

Thank you! I'm glad it helped!

[@DeeInkersole]

Really helpful video. Very clear and not too roomy.

[@MelCompton]

You are very welcome! I'm happy it helped you!

[@stems88]

This is awesome! But I am wondering if you can make the submit button populate a table/sheet elsewhere in the workbook instead of send an email.

[@MelCompton]

Hello! I am working on a tutorial on how to do this. It will be out soon!

[@mikerobertson1184]

@@MelCompton I have the same question, using excel for team to submit time-sheets and the data gathered for analysis in another workbook. Are you able to say when the tutorial will be out?

[@nyga637]

Yes please!!!!

[@talkky]

Would love to see this too!

[@holliereid7310]

​​@MelCompton do you have the link for this please?

[@yesitsme8943]

Thank you! It would be great if there was a good solution like this for Excel for Mac.

[@MelCompton]

Hello! Unfortunately Microsoft Office is not native to Mac's. They do not put as much functionality into the applications for the Mac because the programming language is different. Hopefully functionality will improve in the future!

[@webspierre9296]

Great lesson, Melissa. I appreciate your support.👏🏿

[@MelCompton]

Thank you! I'm glad it helped!

[@bethlamb5643]

Thank you! I really enjoy your tutorials!

[@marxiusbautista7364]

Hi Melissa! Very helpful tutorial. Could you also do another one, instead of sending an email, the data on the form is saved to an excel spreadsheet? Or maybe just share the VBA code for it if you dont want to do another tutorial? 😅

[@MelCompton]

Hello! I am always looking for ideas for tutorials. Especially using VBA. :) I will definitely put this on my list! Thank you!

Great Video. Thanks for sharing.

[@MelCompton]

Thank you! I'm glad it helped!

[@reenadeng4eva]

Very informative, I learned a lot. ❤

[@chrisstaniland5271]

This great! Thank-you. If I want to be the one who fills the form and sends it to the same recipient daily, (like an order form) can the “submit” button be made to disappear when the recipient opens it? Hopefully the question makes sense.

[@conharr2511]

You're awesome. How do I insert dates (birth dates) in a form?

[@chrismcpake2546]

Thats excellent, thank you. New sub.

[@davidwayne9982]

THANKS for these videos-- GREAT JOB-- and i don't do a lot of office stuff BECAUSE I don't know how to do stuff like this-- eager to try this one.

Thank you! Glad it was helpful!

[@gayedougherty1941]

Hello, Sharon! Thank you so much for all the training you provide...so professional and well done. I do need to know how to bring back the lines on the worksheet that were deleted to create the effect of viewing a single piece of paper. I need to make changes to the form and am not able to add needed lines and information, etc. When I try to insert cells or lines it tells me I cannot "push non-empty cells off the worksheet". Thank you for your assistance!

[@MelCompton]

Hi. Is this for someone else? I’m Melissa, not Sharon. :)

[@cheerbear9059]

Great video! Thanks for sharing

[@GlennRichardson]

Great video/tutorial. Thank you. Is there a way to just send one Worksheet, rather than the whole file?

[@ThomasWirth-q2o]

I am building an order form for a business I work for. Can I do this and have it submitted to a separate workbook for data/inventory tracking?

[@jenniferbudurka3910]

I am using a mac and attempted to do this and everything works except the submit button. Would be nice if you showed how to go back into the VB code/macros after it was created in case you need to troubleshoot. I have no idea how to do that or solve why submit won't work. Otherwise, loved this video and I echo everyone's comments that we need the data to write into an excel spreadsheet upon submission.

[@jeangreen432]

Great video, thank you so much!!

[@myfuture1164]

"Super se Upper". Thank You !!

[@dianrose2547]

Thank you so much!! Very helpful. A couple of questions, if you don't mind, how do we add multiple "to" emails? Do we use commas? Can I make the Subject dynamic, meaning, can I use one of the entries from the form as part of the subject? E.g. Employee: Doe, when I click submit, the email subject will be Doe Order Form. Thank you -

[@buzzinpenguins]

Great tutorial. Thanks. Almost done with my own form. Just trying to see if I can use a Vlookiup return data, in this case an email address, as the mail reciepient in the vba code on my submit button. I need to send the form to different recipients every time. Thanks.

[@shipleysweden5565]

Hi Melissa. I really enjoyed your video to refresh my excel skills. But how do I do limit the user from clicking all boxes available. I only want them to click one. And I don't want to make a dropdown list since it's a ranking from 1-5.

[@MelCompton]

Hello! Yes but it will take some extra VBA code. I will get it written and tutorial put out as soon as I can.

[@ClaireOgden-m8r]

Your tutorial was great, managed to make my form - was a complete basic excel user before. But i left an email address out - how can i go back in and add it to the code please?

[@michaelthelwell9343]

Hi mellissa, Really struggling with a task i need to complete hope you could help? I need to create a yearly work schedule for 20 engineers, which will have columns with engineer names in and the work addresses and description in rows reading from a second monthly spreadsheet. Is this possible?i am new to excel and your videos have been really useful so far

[@MelCompton]

Is this information you will be filling in or will they be filling it in?

[@michaelthelwell9343]

@MelCompton hi Mellissa I will be filling this information in it is work address and order numbers from several clients which will be allocated on the engineers schedules

[@makaii11]

Thank you for the video. However, ActiveX controls are not supported on the online version of excel. And that is what we use. Is there a workaround? Thanks.

[@MelCompton]

Hi! If you are using Microsoft 365 online I recommend doing this to forms.

[@urdecisionisurs]

great video

[@braingenius5686]

I know you might not see this but I was wondering if there was a way where, when I click the submit button, the form could take the entries and populate a running list on another sheet within the document?

[@MelCompton]

Hi, if you are wanting a running list of entries you would be better off doing this within Microsoft forms online.

[@petesmit33]

very good thank you but one question - this will only open Outlook as the mail client? what happens if the customer doesn't use Outlook as their mail client?

[@MelCompton]

Hi! Yes that is correct. If they do not have outlook I would recommend using Google forms.

[@yonnatanghemit6342]

Thank you very much!

[@MelCompton]

Thank you! Glad it was helpful!

[@rohitnate1]

Hi, instead of sending it via mail can we save the data filled in the forms as customer database in another sheet in same file?

[@biggsukbbq2306]

Hi Melissa, how do you add more than 1 email into the send box please

[@gbengahussein6922]

Thank you for the tutorial. What if you need to use this to capture daily records in a retail shop? You do not want to send the form to anyone but just to record transactions. Is it possible to fill the form as a way of recording transactions and the records are accumulated somewhere in a database as you click submit?

[@MelCompton]

Hello! Sorry for the delayed response. What you are looking to do could be accomplished using either Microsoft 365 Forms or Google Forms.

I followed all the steps you outlined (twice), but my Submit Form Button does not send the document via email. I'm on a iMac, does that make a difference?

[@MelCompton]

Hello! This is only compatible on a windows machine. Microsoft does not fully code office for MAC so some of the functionality will not work.

[@J8MediaInovations]

Really Nice job but I use mac version of Excel. Mac Developer doesn't have ACTIVE X CONTROLS and it doesn't seem to excite on 365 either.

Hi! Unfortunately VB code is not compatible with MAC or web versions of 365.

Is the code crashing Excel before it closes or you restart your computer?

@@MelCompton no. Code works very fine even after I use it after closing and reopening excel. But as soon as I restarts the computer it crashes.
