Auto populating fields in sharepoint - based on answers submitted through microsoft forms

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by
So i have a microsoft form we are having customers fill out. I have learned how to set up a power automate flow to have it populate in a teams list (sharepoint list)
 
In the teams/sharepoint list, not all of the customer information will be fill in from the form.
 
Id like where when a new submission happens, there is some sort of formula or something that reads specific answers (like their zip code or specific choices they chose from a drop down) and have those answers trigger and auto populate other blank columns
 
Example: customer enters zipcode in the microsoft forms and when sharepoint recieves that, it will auto populate in the salesman section the salesman from their local area and that salesmans supervisor.

    Hi,
     
    If you are talking to acheive same thing through calculated column, then it won't be possible as calculated columns does have the ability to lookup other list.
     
    Other way is to via power automate flow- here is a sample which you can refer, 
     
    Here if you see, flow lookup value from AED list for event subject data coming from ms forms
     
     
    Now if the value is present, we will use that value when creating item in another list like below
     
     
    Expression: 
    length(outputs('Get_items')?['body/value'])
     
    If condition is True:
    Then item should be created with column value
     
    Expression: 
    first(outputs('Get_items')?['body/value'])?['Product']
     
     
    Hope this demo flow helps !
     
    Thanks & Regards,
    Nived N
