Using Google Forms in Google Workspace you can create surveys or quizzes as part of your license - winner. It gets better than that, you can then click a button to gather the results in a new Google Sheet or an existing Google Sheet.


You can now analyse this data using the 'convert to table' button, making it quick and easy to filter, sort and group your form data!


Step 1 - Create your Google Form and then in the 'Responses' tab create a spreadsheet for your results to display.


Step 2 - In the Google Sheet that's collecting the responses from your Google Form, you must select the data.
