I'm afraid MAC Office is a bit like the ugly step-sister. Family indeed, but does not get the same amount of love as the others do. MAC Office is always a bit behind in features as Windows Office. You'll have to revert ot a VBA solution. O wait, that is no fun in Mac Office either.

The Mac edition of Excel has had the data entry Form... capability since at least 1990, when I started using it. Been using it since then. It is now nowheres to be found in Excel Mac 2019.

Office 2011 for Mac has all the Data Form and VBA features in it. I found it via a 3rd party, then updated it to the 14.7.7 update. Works fine.Acadia1532

Luckily Google Docs getting better and better and integrates with different CRM. SO in couple years this harvest finish. - JKPieterseNov 28, 2018Silver ContributorDoes macro work?
