What you are looking for is a fairly standard database function. 
People find a nicely done "form" in a database is much easier than
fumbling with a spreadsheet. Spreadsheets are for fairly advanced
users with fairly good maths skills and/or logic. A database keeps
the data safe from most common blunders that people often make with
spreadsheets and allows various reports to be pulled-off reasonably
easily. It also allows people with artistic skills to create a nicer
looking form without necessarily seeing the data.

<sigh> I really hate it when I ask someone for an apple, and they
persist in trying to convince me that what I really want is a lemon.
