MS Forms --> Google Sheet "Successful", but not...

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

I have four Microsoft Forms that I want to organize in one Google Sheet to share with those who respond. So I set up four "Forms to Sheets" flows to add rows to one of four different "worksheets" (one tab for each form). After I set them up, I tested them by responding to the forms and it worked fine. But now others have been responding and only the first worksheet/flow/form is recording responses, even though they all said that the flow was successful... Can someone help me figure out what's going on?

 

 

I put two of the setups/"success" pages below: The one that's working is "CAN-" and one of the one's that is not working is "DRI-". "CAN-" is the first worksheet of my Google sheet and "DRI-" is the second (and then I have two others not pictured). I only included these two for simplicity purposes and because these are literally the exact same question with the exact same setup and I didn't do anything different in their associated worksheets. It's bizarre to me because they all worked when I tested them, but now only one is. TIA!

    Re: MS Forms --> Google Sheet "Successful", but not...

    Oh my god, I'm so dumb... So I was making formulas and such on the Google Sheet where the responses were. I ended up just making separate worksheets for my formulas and the responses, thinking that might be the issue. Then, I was just scrolling through one of the old responses worksheets (now my formula worksheet), and I realized that waaaaaay the heck down the sheet, there were the responses, still being recorded, but now out of sight. So it was working all along, I just couldn't see it. 

     

    Anywho, thanks for the help!

     

    Searchable text for the next person with this issue (made based off what I was trying to Google): My Microsoft Forms to Google Sheets flow said it successfully entered the responses/executed the flow, but stopped showing up in my Google Sheet. Turns out, they actually were being recorded, but halfway down the sheet because I started making formulas to analyze the responses at the top of the sheet. Solution: make a separate worksheet for the flow to put the responses and use array formulas in a separate worksheet.

    Hi @santalin22 

     

    On the Flow execution history, you can open a run that shows as "successful" but that you can identify that didn't updated the file and paste a screenshot of the action in that specific run to check if it actually succeeded.

     

    Best Regards

    I am so sorry, but could you rephrase that? I don't understand what you want me to do.

     

    Oh, and update: "CAN-" isn't working either now...

    Hi @santalin22 

     

    Can you please check on a run for the Flow that is not adding the data that is succeded and check if actually the insert row action is fine?

     

    Best Regards
