MS Forms with Power Automate

toddM

I'm trying to use a MS Form to capture data, then use Power Automate to take the form data and input it into multiple SmartSheets. My problem is that when the data gets pushed over from MS Forms, is that the data seems to get pushed over with a leading apostrophe. Any idea on how to work around this?

Not sure about MS forms , but any specific reason for not using Smartsheet forms and then you can use power automate to move data from 1 smartsheet to another.

Hi @toddM

I hope you're well and safe!

To add to Deepak’s excellent advice/answer.

Depending on the specifics, you could possibly add so-called helper columns to remove the leading apostrophe.

Would that work/help?

Can you maybe share some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help.

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!
