Other Method. Using Forms -> Power Automate -> capture the responses -> Push data using API (Push Datasets in Power BI service). Create reports / dashboards on top of that. As data keeps coming, Reports keep updating

@@krynnadin , Follow this process Step1: Create you survey Step 2: Go to Power BI service, your workspace, click on new, then Streaming dataset. You will see 3 options. Select API option. This is called Push dataset. We are going to create a dataset with in Power Bi service to store the responses. If you have 3 questions then add 3 fields and so on with proper datatypes as per the answers of your questions 4. Turn on Historical data analysis options (very important) and then create 5. To push the responses to this dataset, Open Power Automate and look for a template (Add rows to dataset to Power BI after approval of Microsoft form) 6. In this flow, as you will be connecting to same user email to configure these things, by default you will see your forms and Power BI workspaces and push datasets in the required fields. Map the form questions to the push dataset fields and save the flow 7. Thats all. If any new responses, flow will be running automatically in the back end and keep pushing the data to the dataset in power BI and data keeps updating Hope this Helps!!!

You are the champ... Researched number of videos including MS but none could give clear direction except when I found your lifesaving videos....Thanks a ton.

Brilliant video! I've been watching loads from your channel lately - appreciate all the amazing content you guys put out, thank you!

Probably one of the first videos ive watched from you guys and i LOVE how easy it is to follow! Thank you!

i saw other crazy examples with building individual flows for every survey. This is MUCH easier and so straight forward! Thanks a lot!!!!

Awesome, much easier than all the powerautomate movement stuff. Basically eliminates that layer. Good stuff Patrick!

This LITERALLY saved my job!!!! TY so much Patric!!!!

I LOVE YOU OMG!! PATRIC, EACH TIME YOUR TIMING IS JUST AMAZING!! NEEDED THAT SO MUCHH

Great video Patrick as always! I have used a slightly different approach storing data in a SharePoint list and using Power Automate to automatically refresh the Power BI dataset when a new form is submitted.

Great, no more power automate needed in between forms and powerBI, thx!

Great thank you very much. i have been trying to do that connexion for one year now. your video just shown me how to do it in 6 minutes. :)

This is an excellent and easy way, I have done this before by creating a flow in power automate, when the response is received in forms update power bi dataset

Yup, I love it! Thanks again!

Thanks man great stuff i was stuck here for a while

Thank You VERY Helpful

When you click Open in Excel from the Responses tab of the form, it calls an api to get the Excel file. Use the developer mode in your browser of choice to capture the url of the api and paste it into PBI Desktop. That's how we did it.

It's easier even than that. Once the Excel app opens with the file (Responses > Open in Excel), you can use the same File > Info > Copy Path to get the path to the file that is hidden behind the Form.

Hi Patrick, As usual, again a classic video on Power BI features. I need your help to identify a way to fill survey responses on dashboard/report itself and respondents response will save in source database (kind of write-back functionality). Again thanks for all your amazing videos !!

Wooooow thank you so much!!

i gonna try this out!!!!

very very very good!!

That is amazing time saving.

I want to learn power bi from your channel

You save my life!

Awesome Video!!! I really like to see the possibilities of Power BI in combination with other tools. Do you have a combination of Power Automate and Power BI?

Very good.

Thanks for the tip. Interestingly I could not create the file in a Teams Channel but I could create it at the Team site and then move it into a channel from there. However, it would then only open in Excel and not in Forms.

Fantastic video!! You helped me a lot! However I have a doubt: after creatinng the form from excel, what happens if I change questions in the form? The columns on the file change?

Thanks :)

Wow Patrick this is awesome. Do you now if Microsoft is planning to allow external user attachments in forms?

hi Patrick, your videos are always very useful and easy to apply in daily work, so thanks for sharing your knowledge. I have a question which requires the opposite to what you did in this video. How can I get data from PowerBI source to display as choices in MS Forms questions? For instance I would like to have a form where the customer name is one of the fields to be entered. Users would need to type the full name of the customer, but if we could just allow them to select it from a list based on our database, that would be great. Is this possible without having to develop a full blown app? Thanks

Man, two things. 1.- You're the lost twin of Shaun T 2.- This video is awesome. You got a new suscriber! 😁

How did you create the tiles? Do you have to program in powerBI to count the selections for each question?

Forms/Customer Voice data gets stored in the Dataverse. From my testing i reccomend to implement a "cleaning step" in PBI dataflows for every dataverse table/data that you want to use in a report, because unfortunately from a performance perspective i saw that the dataverse connector or odata connector to get the data is not so good :/

yassssssssssssss this. I have to send the reports to faculty. Totally NOT feasible and time consuming. My person also likes the graphs. So this was great! Now to link them all.

He Patrick, you can push results from Microsoft Forms to Excel via PowerAutomate. However, it's way easier to populate Excel's by using the methods you're showing.

Thanks! When importing the data what is the difference between Table1 and Form1?

Thanks for making this video. It helps. In normal personal forms, in multi choice questions we can select correct answers while setting forms, however that feature is not available in Forms for Excel form. Can you throw some light on this. Thanks

Nice video! It's better to combine with Power Automate to refresh data, no? Thank you !

Could this be used for collecting forecast inputs from the salesforce?

Oh silly Patrick :D ... If you have your group own the form rather than an individual then an Excel storing the answers is already stored in the Documents folder of that group in Sharepoint. However, for individually owned forms you are absolutely right.

Hi! I write the forms to a SharePoint list with Flow, then link the list to PBI. This allows me to edit inaccurate data or add missing data (lazy survey subjects!).

Hi. Is there any way to change x- axis and y-axis title on a scatter plot based on measure selected ?

Is there an advantage over Excel > New Spreadsheet > Insert > New Form? This continuously update new form submissions.

Great video. Is it possible to combine data from different MS Forms into the same Power Bi report?

Thank you for your video! Right now I am using forms in Teams for my co-workers to fill out as we work alerts in MS DLP (Purview) since they lack reporting. I'd like to then take that info from the forms (in a Teams tab) and get that to PowerBI. How do I do that?

Is there a way to use an existing form that is tied into a flow to populate the sharepoint list without starting a new form? My flow is running close to my limit for the license and do not want to add more steps to my flow

Hello! Good method! Can I use more than one form to feed a single excel and create power bi?

I think you can use power automate for this too

What is the difference between importing as a table or as a form?

Have noticed if you create the excel file this way - unfortunately then can't refer the form if trying to use power automate to have one of the responses trigger an action.

Can you do this with existing surveys?

Looks great. What if your form already exists? Is there a way to set this up afterward?
