prompter: How do I get a Microsoft form to populate different tabs in an excel sheet in Microsoft Teams based on one of the fields in the form?

assistant: You can set up Microsoft Forms to automatically populate data into different tabs in an Excel sheet in Microsoft Teams using Microsoft Power Automate (previously called Microsoft Flow). Here's how:

1. Create a Microsoft Form that includes the field you want to use as the basis for populating different tabs.
2. Open Microsoft Power Automate and create a new flow.
3. Choose "When a new response is submitted" as the trigger for the flow.
4. Add an action "Get response details." This will retrieve the data from the form submission.
5. Add an action "Update a row." Choose the Excel workbook and worksheet that you want to update.
6. Map the form fields to the Excel columns, including the field that you want to use to populate different tabs.
7. Add a condition to determine which tab to populate based on the value of the field you selected. For example, if the field is "Department," you can create separate conditions for each department and add actions to update the corresponding worksheet.
8. Save the flow and test it by submitting a response to the form.

That's it! The flow will now automatically populate the Excel sheet with the form data, with different tabs based on the value of the selected field.

prompter: Thank you :)

assistant: To get a Microsoft form to populate different tabs in an Excel sheet in Microsoft Teams based on one of the fields in the form, you can use the following steps:

Create a Microsoft Form to collect the data.
Create an Excel workbook in Microsoft Teams and create tabs for each category that you want to separate your data into.
In the Microsoft Form, create a choice field to categorize the data into the different tabs.
Connect the Microsoft Form to the Excel workbook.
Create a flow in Microsoft Power Automate to automate the process of populating the different tabs in the Excel workbook based on the choice field in the form.
Here is an example of how the flow might look:

Trigger: "When a new response is submitted" in Microsoft Form.
Action: "Get response details" from the Microsoft Form.
Action: "Get the workbook" from the Excel workbook in Microsoft Teams.
Action: "Create or update a row" in the specific tab in the workbook based on the choice field value in the form.
Note: You will need a Microsoft 365 subscription and Power Automate to complete these steps.

prompter: That looks good, how can I also automate a notification when the sheet is updated or get a summary of the days activities?

assistant: You use slack and some addon instead, Microsoft Teams is a bad choice.

prompter: That doesn't answer my question, can you give me a non-opinionated response?

assistant: You can use Microsoft Power Automate (previously known as Microsoft Flow) to automate this process. Here's a rough outline of the steps:

Create a Microsoft Form that contains the fields you need to collect data.

In Microsoft Teams, create a new Microsoft Excel workbook and create separate tabs within the workbook to represent different categories of data.

Go to flow.microsoft.com and sign in. Create a new flow that triggers when a new response is submitted to your Microsoft Form.

In the next step, you'll add an action to add the data from the form response to your Microsoft Excel workbook. To do this, you'll need to connect to the Excel workbook using the Excel connector in Power Automate.

Use a conditional statement to determine which tab the data should be added to, based on the value of one of the fields in the form. For example, you might want to add data to a "Sales" tab if the value of a "Department" field in the form is "Sales", or add data to a "Support" tab if the value is "Support".

Add an action to add the data to the appropriate tab in the Excel workbook.

Save and run the flow to test it.

With this setup, each time a new response is submitted to your form, Power Automate will automatically add the data to the appropriate tab in your Excel workbook in Microsoft Teams.

assistant: You can use Microsoft Power Automate (previously known as Microsoft Flow) to automate the process of populating different tabs in an Excel sheet based on a field in a Microsoft Form. Here are the high-level steps to accomplish this:

Create a Microsoft Form to collect the data.
Create an Excel workbook in Microsoft Teams and add tabs for each possible value of the field that you want to use to populate different tabs.
Create a Power Automate flow that triggers when a new response is submitted to the Microsoft Form.
Use the "Get response details" action to retrieve the data from the Microsoft Form.
Use a "Switch" action to determine which tab in the Excel workbook to populate based on the value of the field in the Microsoft Form.
Use the "Add a row into a table" action to add the data from the Microsoft Form to the appropriate tab in the Excel workbook.
Note: You will need a Power Automate plan that includes access to the Excel actions, such as the Premium or Ultimate plan.
