Hello,

Does anyone know how I can code a form to have a submit button that sends the form data to an excel spreadsheet? I am trying to make it so that if the user submits the data it goes into 1 row per submission.

My organization does not have adobe livecycle.

Thank you,

Nick

Not possible to do locally. You can achieve it if you submit the data to a web-server which in turn writes it out to an existing file, but that requires a much more complicated set up.

Thank you for the quick reply. I thought you could do an API push to excel. Would there be anyway to do something similar? Maybe even email contains the whole form in csv which I can then just manually place into excel?

You don't need an email. You can save the form data directly as a text file on the local computer, but not append it to an existing Excel file.

It requires installing a script on the local machine of each user, though.
