I do not see a response yet to @mharder790,

I have been using Microsoft Forms to collect survey data each month and like the automatic workbook update. I never have to open the Excel file as I import it into Power BI. When I see the file is updated automatically I refresh the PBI model, or set up automatic refresh by time. Now this functionality is gone, a new step has to be added to manually open the workbook for the survey data to sync. This seems like a step backwards. Any thoughts on solutions?
