Import MS Form Responses to Sharepoint List

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4
Hi. This is my first time using PA so any help is really appreciated. 
I have a programme MS Form that collects evaluations from trainees. It sits in our PMO team Sharepoint and currently has approx 960 responses going back to Jan 25. 
Recently the training project it relates to has had its own Sharepoint set up and I've been asked to import responses from the form to this new SP as a List for trainers to review their own evakuations directly instead of me having to email a file each week.. I can't transfer the form as the link has been publicised across the company and is currently embedded in multiple documents etc. 
So, following copilot guidance, I've set up an auto 'Get New Responses' flow which works but it only gets the first new responses after it was first turned on ie response 953 +. This works fine except the date is brought across as mm/dd/yyyy instead of dd/mm/yyyy. I need to fix this for reporting. 
Secondly, I've tried to set up a second flow that pulls in the old responses up to 952 from a downloaded copy of the excel file, formatted as a table. 
This only seems to pull up to 256 responses, it duplicates them each time I try to rerun because of date format errors. I tried playing with the format expression and mistakenly used utcNow and it pulled them all across but with today's date for all of them instead of the submission date. I've tried to undo this but can't get the format to work correctly with the date. 
I have screenshot here but can't access Reddit in work so can't paste anything directly to this message. 
Any advice?

    For the 1st part SharePoint stores all dates as ISO format but it displays them based on the regional setting of your list/site
    I can see your already using the Format date time function but SharePoint expects data to be entered in ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD) so it will try to auto convert it but it doesn't always work too well
     
    For the 2nd Part 
    Plenty of ways to do this Personally I would get my existing data into a CSV format then download any new data as CSV and combine the sheets. Then create a new list from CSV data use that sheet then update the flows to point at this list instead

    Thanks, I am trying this now and the test worked so will see how the actual run output looks. When I update the csv with new response data, how do i stop the flow from pulling in all entries and just to pull in the newest ones? There are currently 950+ entries so I don't want to duplicate these just to get a few new ones every few days.

    List rows” action has a default limit of 256 records. To fix this, you just need to go into the action settings, turn on pagination, and increase the threshold (e.g. 1000 or more depending on your data).
    Once that’s enabled, it will return all the records instead of 256.

    Hope that helps!
