Edit form connected to OneDrive Excel

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hi,

Quick question I hope someone can help me with.

 

If I create an online form in Office365 from a OneDrive Excel file, once I there are several responses submitted from the form and therefore the form's questions have been automatically added as columns into the excel in OneDrive,  can I edit the form (i.e. adding/deleting questions or sections?    

 

I created a form and submitted several responses which were added to the excel. then I wanted to change the form (add more questions, move section around....) so deleted all the excel columns (including the top row with the column names). To my disappointment, once I did that and submit a new response in the form the excel didn't get update so my doubt is whether is possible to edit forms and still get the responses added to the excel.

 

Many thanks in advance for your help

    @v-litu-msft thank you for your response. 

     

    I tried building a new flow for creating a table in Excel from a form response but Im struggling to get it right. How can I turn the form response format into a excel table format?

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    Yes, you could edit the form, and add the new form response to the Excel table.

    After you edit the form and delete the columns of Excel, you should delete the add a row into a Excel table action in Flow and recreate a new one with newly excel table. Or it will report such as excel table couldn't found error.
