Importing Google Form into Microsoft Form

Hello, We are a Google school recently changed to Microsoft. Is there a magic way of importing all of our existing Google Forms into Microsoft Forms? Thanks, Shannon

...but that doesn't convert them into a Microsoft Forms form!

Rob Elliott Yes yes, that is true and sad. It would be a great conversion.

What would be AWESOME is if forms platforms/apps could reverse engineer a spreadsheet into a form using the column headings and field formatting. I know this cant' be hard.... I'm surprised no one has done it.

  ¿How do you know it can't be hard? I've never seen anywhere where the coding behind Microsoft Forms is published.

    RobElliott I'm not saying the general public should do this and of course Microsoft and Google are not going to share their coding. The ability to take data you have already collected in a spreadsheet (where fields have formatting and column headings) and reverse engineer a form (at least simple forms) from it should be relatively easy if you know programming. With folks migrating into and out of either platform, you would think someone at those companies might have already done it to make the migration more attractive.
