How to import data from external sources (e.g., CSV, Google Forms) into Google Sheets?

To import data from external sources like CSV files or Google Forms into Google Sheets, you can follow these steps:

  1. CSV File:

    • Open Google Sheets and create a new blank sheet or open an existing one.
    • Go to the "File" menu and select "Import."
    • Click on "Upload" and select the CSV file from your computer.
    • Choose how you want the data to be imported: "Replace data at selected cell" or "Append rows to the bottom."
    • Click on "Import" to import the CSV data into your Google Sheets.
  2. Google Forms:

    • Open Google Sheets and create a new blank sheet or open an existing one.
    • Go to the "Form" menu and click on "Create a form." This will open Google Forms in a new tab.
    • In Google Forms, create your desired form by adding the necessary questions and options.
    • Once you have completed designing your form, click on the "Send" button on the top right corner.
    • In the "Send form" window, you will find options to share the form. Click on the "Copy link" button to copy the form link.
    • Now, go back to Google Sheets, and in the sheet, click on any cell where you want to import the responses.
    • Paste the form link that you copied earlier. Google Sheets will automatically recognize the link and prompt you to import responses.
    • Click on "Import responses" to import the data from the Google Form into your Google Sheets.

These steps should help you import data from CSV files and Google Forms into Google Sheets for further analysis and manipulation.
