Converting my Excel file into form fields automatically

Please advise how I can do this.

Hi Erjan,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Let me show you how:

We have a Spreadsheet to Form Widget that you can use to import your data from an Excel file and automatically fill form fields.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Create a spreadsheet with your data structured properly. Make sure the column names in the spreadsheet match the field names on the form, and include a unique column like an ID to distinguish the data.
2. In Form Builder, click on the Add Element menu on the left side.
3. Go to the Widgets tab, search for the Spreadsheet to Form widget, and add it to your form.
4. Upload your Excel file in the widget settings by dragging and dropping it into the Upload File area.
5. Select the unique column in the Access Code Column option by clicking the downward arrow icon.
6. Customize any texts if needed, then click Update Widget to save.

Now, when users fill out your form and enter the unique code from the spreadsheet, the corresponding fields will auto-populate when they click Auto Complete Fields.

Give it a try and let us know if you need any help.

Hi eakhmedov,

We have a Spreadsheet to Form Widget that you can use to import your data. Let me show you how to use it:

1. Create a spreadsheet with your data structured like you see below. Make sure that the column names in the spreadsheet match the field names on the form, and include a unique column, like an ID, so the data can be distinguished.

2. In Form Builder, click on the Add Element menu on the left side of the page.

3. Click on the Widgets tab, search for the Spreadsheet to Form widget and add it to your form.

4. In the menu on the right side of the page, upload your data file. (You can simply drag & drop your excel file to the Upload File area.) 

5. Then, click on the Downward Arrow icon in the Access Code Column option and select the unique column.

6. You can also customize texts used in the widget. After you complete everything, click on the Update Widget button at the bottom right of the menu.

Now, when people fill out your form and enter the unique code from the spreadsheet, the corresponding fields will automatically populate when they click Auto Complete Fields. Check out my screencast below to see how it works:
