Data analysis is the key to creating a successful business and ensuring its progress. It is safe to say that not only businesses but most of our world runs on data and its analysis. Therefore, it is extremely important to know how to create and analyze data charts, and one of the most infallible ways to do this is using a Google Forms pie chart.
In this article, you will learn how to make a pie chart with your Google Forms results, learn about the very helpful and detailed “Statistics” page of forms.app, advantages of using graphs in Google Sheets, and take a look at some of the frequently asked questions about converting Google Forms answers into pie charts.
Understanding how to get pie chart results on Google Forms takes several steps and requires you to integrate your Google Forms data with Google Sheets. Surprisingly, Google Forms pie chart results are generated automatically after you collect your responses. However, if you would like to have a more detailed analysis, you need to use both Google Sheets and Google Forms.
After you create a Google Forms form, you can look at the results in a pie chart by going to the “Responses” tab, but the pie chart will only be shown for questions that are set up as multiple-choice questions. That means that the chart type will change based on the question.

While some creators may find this satisfactory, if you need a more detailed approach to analyzing your data, you must set up your charts using Google Sheets. To create a pie chart using Google Sheets, you have to follow several simple steps, which we will get to now.
The first step of creating a pie chart using Google Sheets is linking your form to Google Sheets. To link your form to Google Sheets, go to the “Responses” tab and click on “View in Sheets.” This action will take you to a menu where you can either create a new spreadsheet or link the results of your form to an existing spreadsheet.

Customize the chart settings
To change the chart type and add a pie chart in your spreadsheet, click on “Column chart” to access the chart editor and scroll down until you see the selection of pie charts. Once you select the chart that you are satisfied with, you can change other settings such as the data range, label, or other settings.

You can think of the “Statistics” tab as a mix between Google Forms and Google Sheets.
