Creating a data entry form in Excel
March 19, 2015 1:00 PM   Subscribe

Hey Hivemind, So I am just beginning to foray into excel. I have create a worksheet for data entry and it has a lot of columns. To make my life easier, I viewed this website which provide a tip to make data entry more manageable. The author suggested to create a data entry form, http://www.launchexcel.com/excel-data-entry-power-tips. However, I cannot get this to really work in excel, it only partially works, excel is saying that the table is too large. Any ideas on how I can do this? Is there a work around?

How many columns do you have? You're allowed up to 32.

Are all the other columns blank? Try adding a blank column after your 22 headers in case something got stuck in there.

Maybe try Google Docs? The form data appears as a spreadsheet and would be easy to copy to Excel.
