Smart UI - Create Data Entry Forms in Excel With Just One Click
Do you need to manually enter data into your Excel worksheets but want to make the interface as user-friendly as possible? An alternative is to use data entry forms.
Data entry forms provide a convenient way to enter or display a complete row of information from a range without horizontally scrolling the screen.
