How Do I Create Logic in Google Forms?

Published in Form Creation 2 mins read

You can create logic in Google Forms using conditional logic. This allows you to control which questions appear based on the responses given to previous questions.

How to Create Conditional Logic in Google Forms

  1. Open your Google Form.
  2. Click on the question you want to apply logic to.
  3. Click on the three dots in the top right corner of the question.
  4. Select "Go to Section Based on Answer" or "Show or Hide a Section Based on Answer".
  5. Choose the condition you want to use. You can choose to show or hide a section based on:
    • The answer to the current question: This allows you to display different questions based on the user's response.
    • The answer to a previous question: This allows you to create more complex logic chains.
  6. Select the specific answer or answers that trigger the logic.
  7. Select the section or question you want to show or hide.

Examples of Conditional Logic in Google Forms

  • Example 1: Showing different questions based on age:
    • You could ask "What is your age?" and then show different questions based on the age range selected.
  • Example 2: Hiding sections based on an answer:
    • You could ask "Are you interested in our product?" and then only show a section about the product if the user answers "Yes".

Practical Insights

  • Conditional logic can be used to create more engaging and personalized forms.
  • It can also help you gather more relevant data by only asking questions that are applicable to each respondent.
  • You can create complex logic chains by combining multiple conditions.
