Sign in to the service ➜ go to the Create tab in the navigation pane ➜ select Excel Online. In fact, if we have a table of data set up, Power Apps will create the app for us based on our data. We can certainly use it to create a data entry from for our Excel data. Power Apps is a flexible drag and drop formula based app building platform from Microsoft. When a user enters data into the form and presses the submit button, that data will automatically show up into our Excel workbook. Then we can share the form with anyone we want to input data into Excel.
We first need to create the Form and this will create the table in our Excel workbook where the data will get populated. This will prompt us to name the Excel workbook and open up a new browser tab where we can build our form by adding different types of questions. Click on New and then choose Forms for Excel.Go to a SharePoint document library or a OneDrive folder where the Excel workbook is going to be saved.
The process is the same for both SharePoint or OneDrive. We need to create a Form for Excel in either SharePoint or OneDrive. This is a great option if multiple people or people outside our organization need to input data into the Excel workbook. The form will be in a browser and not in Excel, but we can link the form to an Excel workbook so that all the data goes into our Excel table. This form option will require our Excel workbook to be saved into SharePoint or OneDrive. If we need a simple data entry form, why not use Microsoft Forms? This will open up a customized data entry form based on the fields in our data.
