How to connect Google Forms and Microsoft Excel
Create a New Scenario to Connect Google Forms and Microsoft Excel
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Google Forms, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Google Forms or Microsoft Excel will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google Forms or Microsoft Excel, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Google Forms Node
Select the Google Forms node from the app selection panel on the right.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Forms, Microsoft Excel, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Google Forms and Microsoft Excel integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Forms and Microsoft Excel (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Google Forms and Microsoft Excel
Google Forms + Microsoft Excel + Slack: When a new response is submitted in Google Forms, the data is added as a new row in a Microsoft Excel worksheet. Then, a summary of the new submission is sent to a Slack channel.
Microsoft Excel + Google Forms + Google Sheets: When a new row is added to a Microsoft Excel table, a new Google Form is created. The responses to the new Google Form are then stored in a Google Sheet.
