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.

This is a perfect and simple data entry form. When the active cell cursor is in the last cell of the table (lower right cell), pressing the Tab key will create a new empty row in the table ready for the next entry. This will cause the active cell cursor to move to the right instead of down so we can add the next value into our record. We can use the Tab key instead of Enter while entering our data. To add new data into our table we can start typing a new entry into the cells directly below the table and the table will absorb the new data.
We now have our data inside an Excel table and we can use this to enter new data. Make sure the Create Table dialog box has the My table has headers option checked and press the OK button. The Ctrl + T keyboard shortcut will do the same thing. We can also use a keyboard shortcut to create a table.
