introduction excel training - Data forms

Data forms help you enter and modify records of information. Typically they are used in databases, which contain lots of information. The human mind can focus more easily on one related set of information, rather than an entire sheet. A data form allows you to look at a specific record, or set of records and work with those only.

It also helps with data capture. Capturing data from left to right, may not be the best or easiest way, easpecially if the data comes from a paper form that has a portrait layout. Using a data form you can capture the data in a more normal fashion, rather than in a table format.
