User Forms in Excel

User forms in Excel provide a great graphical user interface to input data. You can use labels, text boxes, option buttons, check boxes, etc. to create a lovely survey form, for example. The image control can be used to put images on the form that provide the user more information about the data he is going to enter. The command buttons are where you write the code using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), a computer programming language closely related to Visual Basic (VB) and easy to learn.

The coding involves the following steps:
Find the first blank row where the data from the user-form can be transferred to the Excel worksheetThen write code to transfer each value from the text boxes, check boxes, option buttons, etc to the appropriate cells in the Excel spreadsheetOnce the data is transferred the next lines of code clear the filled form to make way for the entry of the next dataFinally we wish that the keyboard cursor should always be at the starting point for the new entry to be done

The process of the coding may sound complicated but it is not. You can have the user-forms filled online as well as offline.

The main advantage of inputting data using the user-form comes from the fact that most of us fill so many forms in our lives through a similar kind of procedure that we find this procedure easy and convenient.

Last, but not least, the data then can be analyzed using standard Excel formulas and functions to derive the information we need.
