Why use Google Forms?<\/h3>\n
As you can see, you can implement Google Forms into almost any operation.<\/p>\n
No matter how you use them to collect your data, Google Forms offer a multitude of benefits, such as:<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
- \n
- Accurate data:<\/b> Receive your data directly from the source. Allow users to input their data without the need to transfer the data manually back to your computer or file.<\/li>\n
- Save time and avoid manual error:<\/b> Google Forms do the work for you; simply send over the form to others and receive the results directly. No need for manual copy and paste, saving you lots of time.<\/li>\n
- Connect to spreadsheets:<\/b> You can set your form response destination to Google Sheets, meaning that the data will be added directly to your sheets. This is a great way to use Google Sheets\u2019 analytical features to get useful insights from your raw data.<\/li>\n
- Customizable forms:<\/b> Access a range of different question types to get the most out of your data collection, from multiple choice to long-text answers. You can also customize the form theme to reflect your brand identity.<\/li>\n

Google Forms has the same sharing abilities as Sheets or Docs, so sharing with others is easy, too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
All of the above are extremely useful for data collection. However, the range of question types Google Forms offers is particularly important, as you\u2019re able to further optimize your responses.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s take a look at the different types of questions you can use in a Google Form.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#F6F8F9″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]

What are the different types of questions in a Google Form?<\/h3>\n
Google offers a wide variety of question types that you can use in your own custom form. We can categorize them based on the answer type:<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
Type out an answer<\/h4>\n
This is a great option if you want to provide \u201copen\u201d questions where users have the freedom to respond to how they like. For example, \u201cWhat do you think of our service?\u201d.<\/p>\n
There are two types of these questions:<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
- \n
- Short answer:<\/b> Encourage users to respond with a short answer (between 1-2 sentences)<\/li>\n
- Paragraph:<\/b> Encourage users to respond with a long answer (one paragraph or more)<\/li>\n<\/ul>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
Choose from a list<\/h4>\n
The following question types should be used for \u201cclosed\u201d questions, where you want users to choose a specific answer that you have provided. For example, \u201cWhat department do you work in?\u201d.<\/p>\n
There are three types of these questions:<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
- \n\t
- Multiple choice:<\/b> Encourage users to select only one option from multiple options.\n
- Checkboxes:<\/b> Encourage users to choose between a set of options, where they can choose more than one if they desire. \n
- Dropdown:<\/b> Encourage users to select a single option from multiple options using a dropdown format.<\/li>\n<\/ul>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
Choose from a grid or scale<\/h4>\n
The scale option in Google Forms is great for ratings, such as \u201cFrom 0-10, how satisfied were you with our service?\u201d. The grid options in Google Forms allow you to collect multiple answers for more complex, in-depth questions. For example, \u201cRate the following services as either excellent, good, or bad\u201d.<\/p>\n
Here are the types of grid and scale questions:<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
- \n
- Linear scale:<\/b> Encourage users to rate using a scale that can go from 0 to 10.<\/li>\n
- Multiple choice grid:<\/b> Encourage users to select a single answer per row or column.<\/li>\n
- Checkbox grid:<\/b> Encourage users to select one or more answers per row or column.<\/li>\n<\/ul>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
Upload files<\/h4>\n
This is often used in specific situations when documentation is needed.<\/p>\n
For example, if you are creating a job application, you may ask users to upload their CV to the form:<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]

Select a date or time<\/h4>\n
Adding date and time question types is a useful way to ensure that all date and time formats submitted are consistent.<\/p>\n
For example, to ensure that all dates are formatted as dd\/mm\/yyyy, or that all times are used with the 24h clock (16:00):<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
- \n\t
- Date:<\/b> Encourage users to fill out their answers using the specific format.<\/li>\n\t
- Time:<\/b> Encourage users to fill out their answers using the specific format.<\/li>\n<\/ul>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
With this range of question types, it\u2019s extremely easy to create the exact question that will get the most valuable response from your users.<\/p>\n
But once you have all these answers, where can you keep it all for further analysis?<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”How-to-connect-Google-Forms-to-Google-Sheets” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
How to connect Google Forms to Google Sheets?<\/h3>\n
Google makes it extremely easy to integrate one Google tool with another. This includes connecting your Google Forms to Google Sheets. When you do this, any form responses submitted are transferred to your Google Sheets file, where they can be organized into a very digestible format.<\/p>\n
To transfer all Google Form responses to your Google Sheets file, do the following:<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
- \n\t
- In your Google Form, select the Responses<\/b> tab.<\/li>\n\t
- Click on the three dots button (\u22ee)<\/b> located next to the Google Sheets icon. Choose Select responses destination<\/b> from the menu.<\/li>\n\t
- Here, you can select where your responses will be. You can either choose to Create a new spreadsheet<\/b> or Select existing spreadsheet<\/b>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
Any responses will now be transferred directly to your Google Sheet.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s important to note that:<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
- \n
- If you save your responses in Google Sheets, they will remain there even if you delete the data from the form.<\/li>\n
- If you change the fields within the form, these will automatically update in the sheet too. However, once a form has been submitted, any data within it will not change within the spreadsheet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
Read this article on How to connect Google Forms to Google Sheets<\/a> for more detailed instructions, including how to further analyze your data.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”How-to-create-a-Google-Form” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
How to create a Google Form<\/h3>\n
Now that you have an in-depth understanding of Google Forms, let\u2019s go through a step-by-step on how to create one yourself.<\/p>\n
In this example, I\u2019ll create a customer satisfaction form to send to my clients. I want to connect it to a new Google Sheet where I can further analyze the data to create a final report.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
1. Create a new form<\/h4>\n
Open https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/<\/a> or access the tool via Google Apps in Chrome. You can either start with a ready-made template by Google, or start from scratch.<\/p>\n
As I want to start from scratch, I will select the Blank<\/b> option to begin.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Google-Forms-1.png” alt=”How to use Google Forms 1″ title_text=”Google Forms 1″ align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
Here, you can start by adding the form name and form description.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Google-Forms-2.png” alt=”How to use Google Forms 2″ title_text=”Google Forms 2″ align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
2. Add questions<\/h4>\n
Now, it\u2019s time to add your questions.<\/p>\n
To add a new question to your form, click on the plus icon located on the right-hand side of your form.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Google-Forms-3.png” alt=”How to use Google Forms 3″ title_text=”Google Forms 3″ align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
A new question box should appear. Here, you can use the dropdown menu on the right to choose your question type. Then, use the fields to write out your question, and (if applicable), write out your answer options.<\/p>\n
In this example, I will create a dropdown question based on departments.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Google-Forms-4.png” alt=”How to use Google Forms 4″ title_text=”Google Forms 4″ align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
To make this a mandatory question, I can activate the Required<\/b> button located at the bottom of the question box.<\/p>\n
If I want to move my answer options around, I can drag and drop them by hovering over the left of each answer option.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Google-Forms-5.png” alt=”How to use Google Forms 5″ title_text=”Google Forms 5″ align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]

3. Add sections<\/h4>\n
If your Google Form is quite long, you may want to section it off based on different categories. In this example, I will divide the survey into 3 sections; about the client, about the service, about the experience.<\/p>\n\n
Click on the question before<\/b> you want your section to start. Select the Add section<\/b> icon from the menu on the right-hand side.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Google-Forms-6.png” alt=”How to use Google Forms 6″ title_text=”Google Forms 6″ align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
The section should appear below.

Automatically generate a form from your spreadsheet – Sheetgo Forms<\/h3>\n
Although Google Forms are a great tool to collect data in your spreadsheets, the Sheetgo Forms take data collection to the next level.<\/p>\n
Unlike Google Forms, Sheetgo Forms<\/a> allows you to create a fully-customized form using data from your spreadsheet. Each column in your spreadsheet creates a new field in your form. You can use Sheetgo\u2019s long list of configurations to create custom question types, field types and dynamic default values.<\/p>\n
Simply connect your spreadsheet and Sheetgo will transform it into a custom Sheetgo Form. You can then add the form to any of your workflows and choose a new or existing spreadsheet as the destination file for all responses. Sheetgo will automatically transfer the form responses to your original spreadsheet, organizing each answer under the corresponding question column.<\/p>\n
As a result, there is no need to manually create your form – Sheetgo will create a custom one for you using your spreadsheet data. From here, users can fill out the form and you\u2019ll receive the responses directly into your spreadsheet, ready to analyze or link with other connections within your workflow.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Google-Forms-16.png” alt=”How to use Google Forms 16″ title_text=”Google Forms 16″ align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
