My goal is to fill the MS Word template with data from Google Forms and Excel file. Excel rows needs to be filtered by matching values from multiple choice answer from Google Form. These rows also contains other necessary data in other columns. Several columns from previously filtered Excel records must be entered into the Word file as one table. There is also one column in Excel filtered records from which all values must be summed and inserted into the Word document as one value. Also few other fields from Google forms needs to land in the Word document

Automating document generation from mixed inputs like Google Forms + Excel + Word templates is exactly the type of workflow where n8n (or Make/Power Automate) shines.
The key piece you’re missing is summing values and injecting that into Word, usually requires adding an aggregation step before passing data to the document template. In practice, that means:
Filtering Excel rows based on the Google Form response.
Running an aggregator (sum operation) on the numeric column of the filtered dataset.
Mapping both the table data and the sum value into placeholders inside the Word template.
We’ve solved similar problems by combining Spreadsheet File → Aggregator → MS Word Template nodes, sometimes even layering in Google Apps Script for edge cases. This way, the workflow is modular, repeatable, and flexible if the template or filters change later.
If you’re still stuck, happy to share some approaches from how we handle sums, tables, and dynamic content injection into Word templates.
