Question

Selecting Excel spreadsheet stored in Google Drive

C

Hi community, 

I am trying to connect Jotform to a Excel spreadsheet stored in my Google Drive but the only storage connections available to connect to is Onedrive and Sharepoint.  I have added Google Drive find my file before the excel connection but it doesn’t really work.  Before I give up and just use a Google Sheet, can anyone tell me how to easily connect jotform to an excel spreadsheet file stored in Google Drive?  It just can’t be that hard, I’m obviously missing something easy here.  Thanks so much!

Hi @CW1978 

Good question.

If you are using an online Excel, then try using the Excel Zap app: https://zapier.com/apps/excel/integrations

If you are using an online GSheet, then use the GSheet Zap app: https://zapier.com/apps/google-sheets/integrations

The Excel/GSheet needs to be an online version to be used in Zaps.

If the Excel file is in GDrive, then the Excel File needs to be converted to a GSheet.
