Forms responses missing when Excel is opened
I have created a Form in Office 365 Business and now have 81 responses. When I try to open the responses in Excel, it only shows that I have 1 response. Please advice.
Dear Forms customers,
Forms for Excel contains a live data connection to your form. Any new response data will be stored in your form, and also be reflected in your workbook. On occasion, the workbook may not contain the latest data for a number of reasons.
If this is the case, Forms provides a new feature, "Sync all responses to a new workbook", in order to “sync” your most recent responses to a new workbook. This new workbook will be stored next to your original workbook on OneDrive for Business or SharePoint Online. This will ensure your data is up to date. Learn more about how to get missing data.

Hi this solved it for me, it now created a new One Drive Excel file with all data.
Thank you so much!

If you click the export to excel button the link will flash and be redirected. But if you copy and past it then change the false at the end to a true it will open a new spreadsheet that will have all your data in it. This is the only work around I have found. But you will have all your data this way.
Example
data. https://forms.office.com/Pages/RedirectToExcelPage.aspx?id=RgHwM8xv6Um1aHiWswadRM6biPXhOnlKtde69MV1dHQUFYT1g5VzFUMjBPR0QxOUdQTi4u&forceReExport=false - change this false to a true
I hope this helps some of you!
Zhongzhong_Li - I private messaged you about a similar issue. I tried this solution (thanks Nate Kennedy !) and I was able to generate a new excel file and I can see the full list of respondents but their response to the survey is still blank. Please advise how I can recover this data. Thank you!
This survey is time-sensitive, so longding if you are able to assist as well that would be great. Thank you!
