Power BI Meets Forms | A Fully Automated Method Using Power Automate And SharePoint

Ғылым және технология

In today's tutorial, I'd like to share a project involving Microsoft Forms, Power Automate, SharePoint, and of course Power BI.
I was tasked to deliver an end-to-end automation based on a survey that our team has created to survey potential customers using Microsoft Form. However, getting responses out of Form is not that straightforward - at least not in an automated fashion.
It meant that I had to utilize Power Automate to export each response to a SharePoint site.
Once those responses were made available there, picking them up with a Power BI Dataflow and creating a report was a walk in the park...
I hope you like this solution!
Have a good one,
Roland

    Have you ever branched out to Power Automate as a Power BI developer? If so, what made you do that? Let me know here 👇👇👇

    Hi, thank you for the video. Could you achieve a similar result by just having one excel file as your power bi source data, and use power automate action of Add a Row in excel? Would you still be able to set up automatic data refresh in the power bi report?

    Yes, in theory it’s also a way to get the same/similar result.

    Hello Roland Can you answer a question for me? I've uploaded a file with the Image type to an MS Form using an image I selected from my OneDrive. How is the Value column used in the "Create csv table" Action when the Header is an image?

    That's a great question. But I guess your answers are not going to be images, right? So survey responders are going to answer a question based on the image. So it should cause trouble

    Hello Roland, thank you very much, i am very prefer all your video. can i ask a question? In MS Form: have field "Rate", but in Action "Create csv table", i forgot input field "Rate". Then, i test some survey okay --> run in Direct PQ, BPI Desktop okay (with 4 columns). After i remember that i miss field "Rate", i add Header & Value for field "Rate" in Action "create csv table" okay --> make a new survey with 5 column. How to Direct PQ update dynamic with 5 columns (some prev responses: blank for 5th column "Rate"? Thanks. i miss some skill in Power query.

    Hey, thanks for the kind words! So yeah, I missed a field while adding those columns in the "create csv table" step :) This is why I suggested testing the full automation before going live. What I have done is deleted all files from SharePoint and then re-run the test with previous triggers. That essentially moved the dummy files with the right fields back to SharePoint.

    I have a form used for inspections which is very complicated with branched options, GPS data, pictures, etc. I currently use Access with its queries and reporting. We're moving towards power automate and want a more robust survey form. Do you think microsoft forms is robust enough for gathering ~100 data points?

    It can definitely handle large number of questions. I’m not 100% sure what do you mean by branched option. Are they type/subtype kind of questions? I would also look into Power Apps as you can develop much more robust applications in it. And Power Apps definitely has “conditional” options.

    The number of files doesn’t really matter as PQ can combine all of them into a single master table. As long as you keep all responses in one location
