Google Form Tips

  • When making questions, make the important ones required!
  • In settings, you can collect emails  or limit to 1 response but it will require Google Sign-On.  Make a question asking for email if you are sending it outside of BCSC.

  • Stick to list options over open ended questions (ex. School names, teacher names)
  • Data will match questions so plan ahead on what data you want and will need to analyze
  • When sending the form, use the link and don’t type in emails

  • Create a spreadsheet, see summary of results, or turn the survey off.

Sheets

Spreadsheet

  • Basic
  • Large Data

Google Sheet Work Along

  • https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_c4pGK-QcsbWm3cCBGT2W-JQ53KMluv0CdlnWdFEJwY/copy
  • Cheat Sheet
  • Use the shortcut icons including link, comment, graph, formula, and filter
  • Filtering Data - under Data menu, filter
    • You can sort data by condition or value
    • You can set multiple filters, but they will go in order of how you set them
  • Useful Formulas - Use their hints or Google/YouTube
    • SUM: Finds the total of a range
    • AVERAGE:  Finds the average of a range
    • COUNT:  Total number of items in a range
      • COUNTIF:  Count based on criteria
    • IF:  Allows you to fill cell based on criteria
    • SUBTOTAL:  Finds above values but for a filtered view
    • VLOOKUP:  Will compare data sets
  • Right click on a cell or highlight cells and under Format, you can set Conditional Formatting
    • Allows you to change the color of the cell based on a set of rules you set. (ex. Equal to a word or value)
  • Right click on a cell or highlight cells and under Format, you can set Data Validation
    • Allows you to reject or warn users that data isn’t valid based on criteria

Google Sheet Tips - Large Data

  • Managing large amounts of data
    • Pivot tables
    • Multiple tabs
  • Pivot Table (Data --> Pivot Table)
    • Allows you to quickly analyze data sets automatically
    • Work backwards - think about values you want and then add rows and columns
    • Filter to get snapshots of what data you want to see
  • Multiple Tabs and Sheets
    • You can split data up by different categories
    • You can share with different people without them seeing the original
  • Setting up tabs
    • You can set up a pivot table to copy over information
      Add every row without totals and filter for tab
    • Use Query: tab name, range, what
      =QUERY(Student!A2:I33,"Select*Where D ='Hufflepuff'")
  • Pulling to a new spreadsheet
    • Allows you to share data with other people who don’t need access to everything
    • Importrange (URL, tab, range)
      =IMPORTRANGE("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GXa2ReGwPka6nwu3yTdkFVkhNzIzNXE2EcGe2sfz4Ug/edit#gid=1866589602","Richards!A1:I100")
    • Need to grant permission
    • Data can be copied for schools to manipulate

Google Sheets Tips - Graphing

  • Data is easiest to graph if you have one to one data points
    • Example - test name and test scores
  • You can create tabs with pivot tables to help set up graphs easier - especially if you are pulling from a live Google Form
  • You can copy and paste Graphs into presentations and they will update
  • Use the $ in front of data sets that you don’t want to automatically format
  • Double click on bottom right of cell to auto copy
  • Use Control H to find and replace
