How do I convert a Google Sheets spreadsheet to a Google Form?

Export your sheet as an .xlsx or .csv file, then upload it to Formswrite. The AI reads the column layout, identifies questions and answer options, and builds a form. Review the extracted questions, then export to a live Google Form in your Drive. The native Formswrite form is free; Google Forms export is on a paid plan.

What column layout works best for the conversion?

A question column paired with one or more options columns gives the cleanest result. Put each question in one row, list the answer choices in the next columns (or in one comma-separated cell), and optionally add a correct-answer column. Formswrite detects this structure automatically and maps each row to a multiple-choice or short-answer question.

What happens to formulas in the spreadsheet?

Formswrite reads the computed value of each formula cell - the result you see on screen - not the formula itself. A cell that displays "Paris" from a VLOOKUP will be read as the text "Paris". Formulas are never preserved or executed in the converted form.

Does it work with pivot tables?

Pivot tables are read as their static display values, not as live pivot data. The pivot structure is ignored. If your pivot table shows a summary of answer categories, Formswrite will read the visible text in each cell. For best results, copy the pivot output to a plain sheet before uploading.

Can I use a spreadsheet with multiple sheets?

Currently Formswrite processes the first sheet in the file. If your questions are on a second or third tab, move or copy them to the first sheet before exporting and uploading.

Is there a free way to convert Google Sheets to Google Forms?

You can start for free. Uploading a spreadsheet and viewing the extracted questions in the Formswrite editor costs nothing. The native Formswrite form and flashcard export are also free. Exporting the result to Google Forms is available on a paid plan.
