Importing Google Form into Microsoft Form
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.

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.

I know that forms can be created from excel templates which makes it easy to download the Google sheet fomr's data and import it in Microsoft Forms as a template.

SBesecker I would actually equate it to basically the reverse of importing a phone book into an Android phone or even back into Outlook. If they can take a an upload of an Excel file to create contacts in a piece of software, creating a form using an Excel Spreadsheet would seemingly be very similar. Even if it just created the basic question that you could then go back and edit to enable the various option, branching, etc.
