There are a couple of ways you can view and analyze Google Form responses. The default one includes the answers from the Google Form in the Form itself, on the responses tab.

Also, on the Google form responses tab, you have information about the number of responses gathered. You can find this information on the name of the tab and in the title, in this example, I have 15 responses on this form. In this tab, you can also access other options, like create and link a spreadsheet to the form. Here is a list of options available on the form responses tab from the three-dot menu on the top-right:
- Get email notifications for new responses
- Select responses destination – here you can create or select an existing spreadsheet to collect the answers
- Unlink form – this option is available if you already linked a spreadsheet to collect the answers
- Download responses (.cvs) – get the responses in the form of .csv file on your computer
- Print all responses – this will print all the individual responses, like in the “INDIVIDUAL” preview of responses
- Delete all responses – this will delete all responses collected in the form, but it will leave the responses in the linked spreadsheet intact.
Google Form Responses Tab
On the responses tab, you can view the results in “SUMMARY” or in “INDIVIDUAL” mode.
Generally, responses are going to be shown in summary mode, which means that you are going to have a summary of each question. They are going to be shown in a form that is adequate for the question.
Multiple choice question summary
For example, if the question is a multiple choice type, the summary of responses is going to be shown in a pie chart. You will get a percentage of a chosen option, and if you have “Other” in the multiple choice question, it will display the option specified by the user, in this case “Something Else”.
