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.

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.
