Excel Integration: Populate spreadsheet with form data using field codes

Hello,

We currently map form fields to a word document using the different field codes. Can you please advise when this function will be available for excel?

Hi Carrisa,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Currently, the feature to map form fields directly to Excel like you do with Word documents is not available. However, you can use the Spreadsheet to Form widget to upload an Excel file and autofill form fields based on unique codes from your spreadsheet.

This widget allows you to pull data from an Excel sheet (XLS or XLSX) into your form fields automatically, which might serve a similar purpose depending on your needs.

Let me know if you'd like guidance on setting up this widget or have any other questions.

Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

Hi Carissa,

Currently, Jotform does not support mapping form fields directly to Excel files in the same way as with Word documents using field codes.

The Microsoft Excel integration with Jotform collects data through online forms and then sync these form submissions to Microsoft Excel automatically. You can easily Integrate Your Form With Excel Using Zapier. Let me show you how to do that:

1. In Form Builder, in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Settings.

2. In the menu on the left side of the page, click on the Integrations tab.

3. Then, search for Excel and click on it.

4. Now, click on Connect to Zapier, and in the window that opens, log in to your Zapier Account and click on Continue.

5. On the next page, click on Authorize.

6. Select the Zapier Template you want to use and click Use This Zap. That’ll open the Configure Your Zap window, where you can set up and configure your Zap.

You can check out our guide on How to Use Zapier with Jotform for more information.

While the feature you're looking for isn't available at Jotform right now, we've gone ahead and escalated your request to our developers. Exactly when or if it's developed depends on their workload, how viable it is, and how many other users also request it. If there are any updates, we’ll circle back to this thread and let you know.

Thanks for your patience and understanding, we appreciate it.



Hi John,

So it can be done but only through an integration via Zapier?

Hi Carrisa,

Yes, that's correct. While Jotform currently does not support direct mapping of form fields to Excel using field codes like with Word documents, you can achieve this through integration with Zapier. This integration allows your form submissions to be automatically sent to an Excel spreadsheet, effectively populating your Excel file with form data.

Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
