Store Google Form Responses in 3 different spreadsheets depending on form choices - forms

I have created a form in which students have to tell if they've formed a group of 4, 5 or 6 members and correspondingly fill out the email id's of all members in the group.
Right now, all the responses land in a single document, like this
I want that depending on the group size, 3 different spreadsheets be created. To say, All group of 4 responses in 1 spreadsheet, all group of 5 in one spreadsheet and all group of 6 responses in one spreadsheet. So 3 spreadsheets for the 3 group options.
I was going through the web and I see its possible via App scripts but I couldnt figure out how. Any leads on this?


no need to use script for this which is not trivial to do and handle all possible errors.
instead simply use a combination of importRange and filter/query to the other spreadsheets from the master responses.
by using spreadsheet formulas your spreadsheets will always update correctly and instantly.


The easiest way would be to use an installable trigger on the form which is called on form submission. Rather than using the default functionality of adding all responses to a "Form Responses" sheet, your script would then take the raw form data and add it to the appropriate sheet based on the group size.

Google app script to update data in row 2 (a named range) of a spreadsheet

i've created a script to mass produce copies of a Google Sheet from a master sheet. The script changes the name of the documents according to data in a separate sheet.
Within the template sheet, I've set row 2 as a "named range" and what i'd like the script to do is to also change the data in that row based on data I have in the master sheet.
I have been previously advised that this is possible but I confess I have no clue how to code this in to my script!
Is anyone able to offer any code which might do the job?
Many thanks

Autofill various columns in different Google Sheets as new rows are submitted through Google Forms

I sing in a gospel choir in Barcelona and I have been assigned the task of managing the "IT related" issues of the choir.
One of the things we need is to ask the singers wether or not they will attend to the programmed concerts or not. We use Google Forms for that.
The difficulty is that we have various forms opened simultaneously and all the answers go to the same Google Sheets document, but each form to its own sheet. We need it like this to keep it simple and organised, by year in the first sheet.
And the real problem is that we need to expand the formulas from (usually) 3 columns to all the existing rows evey time an answer is provided (or from some to some more, to say so) and also that the columns are not always in the same columns. Here are the examples:
The explanation is this:
Sheet "Resum Concerts Cantaires" contains the summary of all the answer sheet
Each "yyyy-mm-dd whateverplace" is the destination of each different form
Some concerts have 2 answers (first image: email address and "will you attend the concert?") and some have 3 answers (second image: same previous two plus "will you come with our bus?")
Therefore, the columns needed to be copied down sometimes are D,E,F and sometimes are E,F,G.
Can anybody help me with this, please? I have tried the "CopyDown" plug-in, but it's not what I need (it prevents the second row to be sorted and I need it to be).
Thank you very much in advance for the help.

Is it possible to change the way a form loads with different data fields and values (Acces 2010)

I have Access 2010. I was wondering if there is a way to get the form to load different for every selection.
Example
Item A has 10 Rows and 6 columns of filled in data
Item B has 3 Rows and 2 Columns of filled in data
Both are from the same table.
Is there a way when a certain item is selected from a drop down menu to load, without having multiple forms, only the filled in data? Output would resemble Excel format.
Thank you in advance for any help.

Quick Answer (TL;DR)
Creating dynamically-generated form structure in MSFT Access can be done with sub-forms.
Detailed Answer
Context
MSFT Access
Creating forms
Problem
Scenario: Developer wishes to create context-specific form structure that depends on the query output.
Solution
Create one or more sub-form with attached VBA that changes dependent on the query ouput.
Connect the subform(s) to the primary form and load as needed depending on the context.

Dynamic Generate Copies of a Page in Google Forms

I'm looking to bulk input data from google forms. This involves 2 sections:
Initial Conditions
Observations
Everyone who wants to input data will be inputting 1 set of initial conditions, followed by somewhere between 5 and 20 (maybe more?) observations of multiple variables:
Name
Date
Color
Quantity
Type
The problem is that I don't want to have to make people re-enter the initial conditions each time they submit a form.
Ideally they would be able to select a response after adding one observation:
Add another observation
Conclude session
The thing I don't know how to do: Add another observation would open a new blank observations page.
Anyone have any ideas about how to make the appropriate form?

Connecting nodes to multiple dates

I have company website, with many offices around the world (around 50 offices).
The company want to create a gift giveaway with the employees in a specific company each specific day.
For example:
Office 1: will do the giveaway the days: 1/1/2010, 7/1/2010, 15/1/2010, etc...
Office 2: the days: 2/1/2010, 9/1/2010, 19/1/2010, etc...
Office 3: ....
Office 50: ...
(the days are setup manually to specific offices, no need of an algorithm here)
I have a node per Office, it's a CCK content type with details of each office (location, phone, email, etc), now I need to assign those days to the offices.
But my problem here is that I don't need to create events (or at least node events) because I don't need to store any data in the event. Just need to say: Office 1? Yes, days 1/1/2010, 7/1/2010, etc...
Nothing else, just to know the dates.
And, if possible, make them available to display in the calendar module.
What is your suggestion?

Withs CCK and date module you can create date fields, but if you have many fields you want to add, this might not be the best solution.
You have two general ways of solving this issue. Either you need store each date. This could be done with date field, not sure if it can handle multiple values, node reference or similar. This is inefective it some ways, but will make it easy to generate calendar view.
You could also write a string with as the date info and let php convert it to dates. This route will make it easier to create and store the data, but will make it a lot harder to get things integrated with calendar.
The fatest / easiest solution would probably be node reference with a date module, combined with a script to create all the nodes need. Instead of making them inside Drupal.
You could also create a custom module that stores this info for you. It would be a more longterm solution and require more work to integrate it with views and date/calendar modules.
There are many ways to go about this, but it really depends on your need, skill and time

Why not use a plain old CCK text field with a good clear description of what it's for and how to format it with something in the help section to back it up?
Use a text area (multiple rows) and apply the default input format that converts lines line breaks. I like to use the mark down filter too.
You could also use multiple single line fields in place of a text area...
This assumes your users are smart enough to enter the correct info of course but that's what the help and description are for. If your users can't be trusted to enter the content in correctly then yes, go for something that forces them to do so.

Ok I've found the solution myself and I want to share it with you:
Created three content types:
Office: with data of the office
Days: with a node per day (365 * year)
and Giveaway: with two node-reference fields, one for Office and another for Day.
(Days must be populated manually using a script that fills the upcoming 2 years or so).
So I can fill only Giveaway content type, and that's enough.
And then only the views are remaining.
