How to create form to enter data into spreadsheet?
I'm rusty after 20+ years regular working in Excel but not so much after being retired for 9 yrs. Need to create form to enter data into spreadsheet. Initially inputting data myself but eventually allowing input from multiple users. Need help to get started.

Coming back to Excel after a long break is a bit like riding a bike, but the bike has changed slightly—especially on a Mac. The key thing to know is that the classic, built-in "Data Form" you might remember from older Windows versions simply doesn't exist in modern Excel for Mac.
Here are some internet links with tutorials where you can refresh your knowledge and they can show you step by step how to do it.
