Google\u2019s G Suite has a range of impressive apps that make it one of the most powerful productivity tools. Google Forms is one of the most useful apps on the platform, especially when connected to Google Sheets.<\/span><\/p>\n When people think of Google Forms, they often think of surveys, pop quizzes, or even event registrations. Although it\u2019s a fantastic tool for these purposes, it’s also great to gather any kind of data.<\/span><\/p>\n You can use Google Forms to collect large amounts of data which you can then send to a Google Sheet. With this powerful combination, you can level up everyday business processes.<\/span><\/p>\n Let\u2019s explore how to connect Google Forms to Google Sheets and how you can combine these tools to great effect.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”Why-use-Google-Forms” _builder_version=”4.24.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n There are many<\/span> benefits of using Google Forms<\/b>:<\/span><\/p>\n If you need help designing your Google Form, check out this video tutorial<\/a>. You can also check out How to use Google Forms to collect data in a spreadsheet<\/a> for a simple guide.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”When-to-use-Google-Forms” _builder_version=”4.24.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n Google Forms are not just useful for simple surveys<\/strong> or pop-quizzes; they can optimize a number of tasks within your business operations.<\/span><\/p>\n Here are just a few ways you could use Google Forms to collect data both internally and externally across your everyday tasks and projects:<\/span><\/p>\n What\u2019s more, you can then connect these form responses to a Google Sheets file where you can store, manage and analyze the results. This is a great way to store and manage all of your data in one place. It\u2019s also a fantastic opportunity to make the most of the various features and functionalities Google Sheets has to offer.<\/span><\/p>\n Now let\u2019s see how to easily link your Google Forms to Google Sheets for optimized data management.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”How-to-link-Google-Forms-to-Google-Sheets” _builder_version=”4.24.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n You can use Google Forms as a standalone application; simply click on the responses tab to read all the responses directly.<\/span><\/p>\n However, if you\u2019re collecting a lot of data from a lot of people, you should put that data in a spreadsheet, where it\u2019s ready to process and analyze.<\/span><\/p>\n Manually transferring data from Google Forms to Google Sheets is too time-consuming. Instead, you can connect Google Forms to Google Sheets to transfer data automatically. This also means that when a respondent submits a form, the data will be included in the spreadsheet.<\/span><\/p>\n Here are some important things to note:<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n Google Forms has a setting that allows you to send your form responses to new or existing\u00a0 Google Sheets.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Google-Forms-to-GS-1.png” alt=”google forms to google sheets 1″ title_text=”Google Forms to GS – 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 module_id=”How-to-unlink-a-form” _builder_version=”4.24.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n Removing the connection between your Google Form and Google Sheet is just as easy.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Google-Forms-to-GS-2.png” alt=”google forms to google sheets 2″ title_text=”Google Forms to GS – 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 module_id=”How-to-save-or-delete-a-Google-Form” _builder_version=”4.24.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n There\u2019s no need to worry about saving a Google Form once you have created it and linked it to your chosen Google Sheets file. Like all Google apps, everything is saved automatically in your Google Drive.<\/span><\/p>\n However, what if you don\u2019t want to just unlink a Google From from your spreadsheet, but delete it entirely? Here\u2019s how to do it:<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Google-Forms-to-GS-3.png” alt=”google forms to google sheets 3″ title_text=”Google Forms to GS – 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=”4.24.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n Please note:<\/b> If you connect a Google Form to a Google Sheet, deleting either one has no effect on the other file.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”How-to-filter-responses-from-Google-Forms-to-Google-Sheets” _builder_version=”4.24.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n In order to make the most of the Google Forms and Google Sheets integration, it\u2019s important to know how to automatically sort, filter, and analyze your form responses in your spreadsheet.<\/span><\/p>\n Let\u2019s say you want to send form responses to different sheets based on the answer to a multiple-choice question. For the following examples, we will filter data into different spreadsheet tabs based on what color the respondent chooses (blue, red, green, or yellow).<\/span><\/p>\n Let\u2019s take a look at different ways to sort and filter data.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n This function uses SQL syntax to select specific data.

But what if you want to combine the responses of two forms in one tab?<\/span><\/p>\n Let\u2019s say you\u2019re a sales manager overseeing 10 sales reps. You create 10 different forms with the same questions to make sure each representative inputs their data correctly.<\/span><\/p>\n When your reps submit their forms, the results will enter your spreadsheet as 10 different tabs.
