MicrosoftThe recent update requiring manual opening of Excel for the web to sync Microsoft Forms responses has significantly impacted the efficiency of workflows reliant on this integration. Previously, the automatic syncing feature enabled seamless updates to Excel files, allowing users to refresh their Power BI datasets effortlessly.
This change adds unnecessary manual steps, particularly for users who manage large-scale surveys or rely on real-time analytics. The convenience of automatic syncing was a key feature that streamlined processes, saving time and ensuring data accuracy for dynamic reporting.
While I understand the intention to improve reliability, this new requirement feels like a step backward for automation. I kindly request Microsoft to reconsider reinstating the automatic syncing feature or provide an alternative that balances reliability with ease of use.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Quite frustrating that we still haven't found a solution to this. Similarly, my company uses this integration like you do and I struggle to understand why this feature has been stripped away with zero communication from Microsoft as to the logic. I would really appreciate an update to this as well!
