I am newer to Storyline and am wondering if there is any way to populate an excel file during the story. I am trying to make an Excel tutorial for one of our spreadsheets and was planning on the sheet filing itself out as a checker to the sheet they should be filling out or maybe even correcting their sheet. I was hoping to accomplish this with the built-in JavaScript execute triggers in Storyline. Is there any way to accomplish this?
From what I have found in the past, getting data in to MS Excel is a bit of a nightmare, I have managed to do a work around, this meant I could transfer data to a GoogleSheet and then from there use a free web application which will then transfer that information to an Excel Spreadsheet.
For setting up for the data to transfer to a GoogleSheet, see this post by Kate.
For the external link from GoogleSheets to Excel, visit this site but I have only managed my work OneDrive account.
Hope this helps, just shout if you need any further help.

Thank you so much! I have been googling away and learning JS for the last week and somehow did not stumble across either of these.
