You can create a form from any spreadsheet. Just follow these instructions:

1. Open a new spreadsheet.
2. Save the spreadsheet.
3. Click the Share tab.
4. Under ‘Invite people:’ choose the radio button to fill out a form.
5. Click Start editing your form… In the form template that opens, you can add any questions and options you’d like.
6. Click the Next, choose recipients tab. Here, you can add email addresses, a custom confirmation message, and choose whether you want people to see the responses.
7. When you’re finished, click Send.

Here are some additional tips:

• If you’ve edited a form and need to send it again, click the Edit and resend button in the lower-left corner of the Share tab.
• To see the results of a form, open the original spreadsheet. It’s a good idea to use the same name for the form as your spreadsheet, so it’s easier to find.
• To turn off a form, go to the Share tab of your spreadsheet and click Turn off form in the lower-right corner.
• Remember, the spreadsheet row, cell and column limits apply to the spreadsheets attached to your forms too “””
