What exactly is the purpose of a data form?

[Carter Devereaux]

I'm studying Excel and just completed learning about data forms. Out of
curiousity, what might be some types of applications/examples for using this
feature?

Creating purchase orders or invoices or quotes.
Employment applications or reviews.
Anything you would normally fill out by hand can be done with a data form.

Using the Data>Form feature can make it easier to enter data into a
table in Excel, or find an existing record.

It's a nice feature for users who don't have the time or programming
skills to create their own UserForms.

You could also try John Walkenbach's Enhanced Data Form. It's a free
add-in that allows combo boxes, and unlimited fields.

If the OP is talking about Data=>Form in the menu, then I wouldn't see an
application for the things you cited. It is pretty specific to updating a
Database/list/table in an excel sheet. Yours sounded more like a userform.
