❓What’s the biggest data entry challenge you’ve faced? Learn Excel with my courses: bit.ly/mforms24courses
@bentonbolt3769Ай бұрын
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…
@MyOnlineTrainingHubАй бұрын
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.

Trying to reduce redundancy by pulling quality test results from an ongoing excel sheet to populate a Certificate of Analysis form with the most recent test results. That way the test results are entered once, automatically completing my CofA.

That is an amazing feature. And thanks for the introduction video. Question: can I export the results in a file, that cannot be edited later? I want to do this: build a form for onboarding and let HR and IT select how the user needs to be configured and what kind of software etc he will need. Basically a checklist. Once it has been setup, I want to export the file and hand it over to several teams, so everyone can pick up their parts and complete the tasks.it's crucial that the details cannot be changed or accidently altered. (e.g. unticking a certain software that needs to be insatlled).
@MyOnlineTrainingHubАй бұрын
Yes, you can export the form responses to another file using Power Query. You can then protect that file so other users can't edit it.

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.

Can you create dependent drop-down lists in forms? I currently use MS Access forms with three levels of drop-down lists. I use these forms to measure progress by tracking the project number, WBS code (work breakdown structure), a list of deliverables for each project, and the number of hours worked. The selectable items are stored in a table that can be updated. When you select a project, you should only see the deliverables for that specific project. Is this possible in Forms?
@MyOnlineTrainingHubАй бұрын
You can use branching to present the next question based on the answer to the previous question, so in a way, yes. But it can't extract data from a spreadsheet to populate the form in real time.
@lcorcoran56Ай бұрын
@@MyOnlineTrainingHub That's a pity, it would have been a nice feature, to have the dropdowns linked to a table. I think the branching would be just to much work, as we deal with hundreds of deliverables across multiple disciplines and projects. So it seems I'll have to stick with using Access. I've tried to convert the Access form into a web link without success. Anyway, thank you very much for your quick response!

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.
