Real time Microsoft Forms results in Excel Worksheet
Hi, I want to use Microsoft forms for an invoice in excel. I have made the invoice, which automatically collects data from the Excel table opened with Microsoft Forms, but when a new response has...
I think I know what the real problem is. I have the same problem too but did not make a solution yet. However, please look into this. I assume you used power automate to collect the response from MS forms right? now, In the Power Automate, you put in the "Add row into a table" if you do this, I think, the existing formula on your Worksheet will not recognize this new row.
Ex: Sheet1 A1-A5 has existing data. then you make formula on the next sheet (Sheet2) collecting the info from A1-A5 and extend your formula upto A10. When a new response comes in. In Sheet 1 it will be A6, but in the formula. A6 will be gone because it adds a new row in sheet1, yes it is in A6 on sheet1, however. the formula assigned to A6 in Sheet2 cannot recognize the NEW row and therefore the formula for A6 will be gone. you can check your sheet2 that the formula for A6 gone. its like, A5,A7,A8 and so on. Hope this give you the idea. Because it did to me. 🙂

Can we use the different eForm to collect data and populate the info into the same workbook but different worksheet?
Nope, that doesn't work.

How about same eFORM but using power automate ? I manage to use power automate to split the data with "condition" function used. But the data will goes to different workbook. Any idea how to put the data under same workbook, different worksheet?I didn't try, but most probably yes. Power Automate allows you to add row to any table in any file. Dynamic content for row could be taken from data triggered by Microsoft Forms.
