Aloha All!  I am a Mac user and I am trying to use Survey123 Advance form, but every time I launched the form it opens using "Numbers" which for some reason does not work, so I am trying to have it open using Google Sheets. Does anyone have any advice on how I can make that happen.  Mahalo in advance for your help.

Hi Kevin,

It sounds like Numbers is the default program for opening .xlsx files, you might be able to tell your machine to open a different program instead. I'm not familiar with Mac but this article might help https://www.imore.com/how-set-mac-app-default-when-opening-file and also the suggestion by peterLAN here https://www.reddit.com/r/google/comments/2v9fk3/any_way_to_set_google_docs_as_the_default_program

Hi Kevin,

You can use Google Sheets, though it will be a little bit awkward for drafting as you will need to download the file and replace the previous copy every time.  Aside from MS Excel, another desktop tool you could use is Home | LibreOffice - Free Office Suite - Fun Project - Fantastic People  - we use that in validating Linux-based workflows.
