Google Form Tutorial – This is the first tutorial from me in which I am going to show you How to populate or fill Google form fields with Spreadsheet Column values. This post also focus on dynamic Google forms based on choice of option from user. Situation I have considered for the tutorial is selecting City based on the Country opted, like such as if a user selects “India” and clicks on Continue button then next page should show Cities from India(Values stored in Spreadsheet).

AutoFill Google Form fields with Spreadsheet Column values

First you need to create a Google Form from Google Drive account. Select Create Form and enter the title of the form. Next step is to create a Country field but make sure to check the “Go to page based on answer” option. See the image below for more information:

Next Create new pages by inserting “Page break” option.

Create two pages, one for each country – India and USA. On each page add “Select from the list” items but make sure to leave the options blank.

Now is the time to select page destination based on user response. To do navigate back to first page and Country field. For each option select the page accordingly, for example see image below where I have selected Pages for India and USA(Country option)

First step of Tutorial is complete which allows you to select the destination page depending on the user response. Next Part of tutorial covers information to auto fill City Fields from Spreadsheet column values.

Create a spreadsheet to accept the Form responses and leave the first sheet as it is. Create new sheet in the same spreadsheet and add two columns for each city values of India and USA. See image below:
