I have a production line that I need to add several lines of quality check data on a production run- I don’t really want to restart the form from the beginning for each line of data and can never really know how many lines of data will be added, each line normally has four checkpoints. currently I start with a new template excel every production change, that template will have 5-25 lines of data and every time is saved as a new spreadsheet… I want to have a form that allows entry on a tablet, based on product, pulls info to show qb the specs and stores all the data in one form… Pondering what I may be able to make happen with forms…

Sounds like you may be able to use Forms to capture this data and write it to a single Excel file that you can then analyse as required. Hope it's useful for you.

Google Forms really shines here because you can spice it up with some neat tricks using app scripts.

Good stuff! Forms are becoming really good en well integrated... Thanks for another great video!

Hi Ma'am, I love your video tutorials! Could you kindly explain how to easily copy shared (by someone) OneDrive folder names into Excel? I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you!

Great video, you are always so clear and concise. Cute hair too 😊. I am wondering about using this for inventory for garment decorating industry somehow. For example adding and removing items from inventory. Also could it work as a quote request form?

@MyOnlineTrainingHub

It could certainly add items to an inventory, but not remove them.

Thank you for sharing. Some observations: Capturing details through QR code possible? Pull function? Calculation functions cf Kobo form!!!!!

@MyOnlineTrainingHub

I guess you could create a pre-filled link and create a QR code for it. Not sure what you're referring to with pull function as I'm not familiar with Kobo forms.

Awesome Mynda!

Any way to show existing preset data (eg names, topics) on an MS Form, as well as collect data (eg grades, for topics against each name) back to an Excel file? Could be an ideal UI for complex spreadsheets... quicker and more secure than VBA Forms, Dialogue boxes etc.? Great videos btw. Thanks!

You could do this as a prefilled form.

Does forms allow dynamic dropdown lists? e.g. If I choose a specific org from dropdown list 1, can dropdown list 2 show ONLY the departments under that org?

@MyOnlineTrainingHub

2 күн бұрын

Yes, you can use branching, so after selecting an item from list 1, you can branch them to the next question for the departments for the org they choose in list 1.

Where does the Excel file have to be saved to? Can I keep the file on my PC or on a 3rd party file system such as Dropbox? Or does it have to be in something like One Drive or Sharepoint?

@MyOnlineTrainingHub

The file will be in OneDrive/SharePoint, but you can sync OneDrive to your PC and access it from there if you prefer.

It's available from forms.office.com or via the Microsoft App Store.

Can the data be validated at the time the user fills the form? For instance, reject dates earlier than 1st Jan 2020.

I like your tutorials. However, it would be nice to give us a warning whenever your topic includes features not available on the macOS version of Excel 365. That would save us from the stress of searching for features that are not there. Is this one available for macOS?

@MyOnlineTrainingHub

This is an online feature available at office.forms.com of from the Microsoft App Store as mentioned at the beginning of the video. You can access both of these on a Mac.

Correction, I was thinking of a different video 🤦‍♀️ It's available in forms.office.com and Excel Online and there will be a desktop version (there used to be), but it's not available yet.

Unfortunately Forms are not yet usefull for planning purposes. That means instead of just asking the users to enter data they can at least see what data already exists, and then enter new data. Or using Forms for validation existing data would be nice as well. (Or did I miss something?)

Users can edit their own entries as shown at the end, but they can't access the file containing all the data unless you give them permission to do so. You could build a report interface to the data if that helps.

I wish there was a way to enter coordinates

You say you can use Power Query to connect to the Form's data yet there is no "Forms" Connector option. You mean connect to Excel - not "Forms"?

Yes, connect Power Query to the data in the table that the form builds.
