Storing input from App in Excel with no Data Source

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi all!

I'm building a data collection app, which evaluates users' answers to a series of questions, and places them in a category based on their answers. I'd like to store their name, (which they must write in a text input, outside of the questionnaire), and the category they placed in. I would like to store this in an excel sheet for now, (but am open to other options).

Because it is a data collection app, I do now have a datasource, and therefore any changes in my app are currently going nowhere.

How can I store this data in an excel sheet, when my app has no data-source?

Thanks to any replies!

Hi @JosephineL ,

No - you can import Excel as static data, but to store information, you must connect to a data source outside the app (Excel/SharePoint etc)
