How can I populate a form using information from an attached excel file?

Posted on by 109

Hi All, 

 

I created an app with a form. There is an excel that a person needs to fill out separately for company reasons. So instead of the person filling out the excel and the app with the same information, I'd rather have the person attach the excel file to the app and then have the app extract the info and auto populate the form. Is that possible?

    You can try to use Power automate to do that...

    When you upload an excel file, get the fields and create whatever you want...

     

    But you can try to use AI Builder too

    Thank you for your response! 

    @Nogueira1306 

    I am not familiar with AI (although after this im going to look into it). Right now i'm trying to use Power Automate. 

    The pic below somewhat describes what im trying to do. 

    These dates need to be filled, the person using this would have already filled out the dates on an excel file. I want them to upload the file and have the app extract it, in real time, before they finish and submit the form.

    Would using one of these point me in the right direction?
