Dear Patrick,
For step 8, do you mean: “Repeat the edit, conversion, and save steps to update the columns in your table and your survey form.”?
If so, I think it’s just saying that you repeatedly modify your excel and convert this until your form is ready to push to the tablet.
The adbpush step is rather tempermental to get for the first time. What error message are you getting? The tablet settings may also be an issue.
Here’s a slide deck for when we trained on this:

Actually, have you checked out this post and materials:
They may help.
Best,
