@@sayanamsler2884 Hi, nothing has been misunderstood. This was such a helpful video. My point was that I have sat through many long and tedious tutorials that went around in circles and made everything somewhat confusing. Sharons video was lots of quick great tips that have really helped. I issued a project form yesterday because of this! Fantastic :)

Great form building tutorial. But, how do you aggregate the data? If it is a survey, reports will need to be created from what is collected.
I love this gal. This video is sooo well done

this is amazing!! :) I had no idea that you could make a fillable form with excel :)
I'm so glad you found it helpful! Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for your valuable contribution. The drawback of this form-like worksheet is that the user is free to move the cursor anywhere, and even protecting it doesn't entirely prevent mischief.
Thanks for subscribing to my Channel, Mike! Glad you found it helpful!

Excelente video!!. Mi Ingles no es tan bueno porque, pues, hablo español jaja, pero aun así logre entender bastante ya que tu video esta tan bien hecho que incluso con solo las imágenes te haces una idea bastante clara de lo que se quiere decir. Muchas gracias.
¡Muchas gracias, Cristian! Me alegro de que te haya gustado mi video a pesar de que estaba en inglés. No hablo español, pero puedo usar Google Translate. 😊 ¡Muchas gracias por verlo!

such an informative session
Really great tutorial, thank you!
Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching!
"Shawn Spencer - Communications" LOL! Love all the Psych callbacks. You didn't give poor Lassie a title. :D
I was looking for a form to input data into a spreadsheet for later data analysis. In the case of your employee engagement survey, you'd want to record the responses. For my needs, I want to build a db for my beehives. Inspection date, queen present Y/N, Honey yield, that sort of thing. Something that can easily be manipulated with a tablet out in the apiary.
Fantastic Tutorial! Subscribed!
Awesome! Glad you found my videos helpful. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing to my channel!
Excellent! You're an excel queen!
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching my videos!
Highly appreciated!
Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching!
thanks pal, very helpful!!!
Glad to help! Thanks for watching!
This video was so clear and well done, and I'm excited about the possibilities. I was wondering, however, how a user would submit the form and whether it's possible to compile the submissions into a spreadsheet. I see other users have asked similar questions below, but I don't see an answer.
I can't see why you couldn't compile the results into a tab on the same spreadsheet, like having a summary sheet as the top of the tab list. But I'd like to hear from more of an expert as well. I'm not one.

Select all check boxes by holding CTRL button and right clicking each.
Align left then Distribute Vertically.
Excellent very well explained
Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching!
Outstanding lecture!
Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching!
Sharon, you are just an amazing cool and precise teacher. Keep it up! Please, how can forms like this be embedded into other softwares outside excel
Hello Olaleye! Thank you for your kind words! If you need to create an online form, you may want to consider using Google Forms. I have a video on this if you are interested: th-cam.com/video/VBFOOC8enVI/w-d-xo.html Thank you for watching my videos!
Excellent presentation, very educational.
Thank you, Patrick! So glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching!
Learnt a lot there. I've encountered situations where this information could be very helpful. Esp designing such docs/workbooks for my clients who may need them for research work in the field. Working in a cyber in Kenya, this will definitely help my work.
Hi Dennis! So glad to hear you found my videos helpful! Thanks so much for watching!

thank you so much for your amazing video
You are very welcome, glad it helped! Thanks so much for watching!
This is very helpful - thank you. I would have used a radio button instead of a checkbox however, to avoid multiple selections.
Great tip, Sherry! Yes, if you want to avoid users selecting more than one checkbox, then radio buttons are the way to go. Thanks for watching!
Great tutorial
Thank you Rajesh! Glad you found it helpful!
Great! Thank you! I am new to building forms using Excel.
QUESTION 1: If you send out this form to several staff to fill out, once you get them back, how do you collect all their individual answers (from several employees) into a single Excel sheet database?
QUESTION 2: Is there a way to automatically feed a spreadsheet with the data from each employee form done?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Did you get a response to this? this is what I am trying to learn now :) your help will be truly appreciated.
Sharon, the information and presentation are Amazing! I started into a project and you answered MANY of my questions in this one video, and it just happened to be the first source I found. I do have a question on how to disseminate the form to at team an then retrieve the form ideally via submit button that sends form/file to admin with time stamp). Is this possible utilizing a Microsoft 360 account? It would be great to give users unlimited access to the blank forms, then once its submitted have the finished form locked, but accessible to the user and the administrator.
Brilliant tutorial …. thanks so much👌😂
You are very welcome, Jacqui! Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for ALL your videos, they have helped me so much. I have gone through all your tutorials for word but I do need to know how to make a auto fillable cell in excel, where the more you write in the cell or cells it auto expands. Is this possible and how?
This is great. Thank you !
You are very welcome, Linda! Thanks for watching my videos! I appreciate it!
