What Are Pie Charts?

Before we talk about how to create a Google Forms pie chart, shouldn’t we give a crisp definition?

According to Wikipedia, “A pie chart (or a circle chart) is a circular statistical graphic, divided into slices to illustrate numerical proportion. The arc length of each slice is proportional to the quantity it represents.”

Simply put, a pie chart represents information we seek in a structured manner to facilitate decision-making. And from school to conference rooms, it is used everywhere. It is often criticized for its complexity in interpreting and comparing different slices of information or different pie charts. Nonetheless, it’s still a pivotal piece of indicator for in-depth analysis. And for that reason alone, we’ll see how to create pie charts using Google Forms next.

How To Create A Google Forms Pie Chart?

With no further ado, here’s the 6-step process to creating a Google Forms pie chart;

Step-1: Open Google Forms to create the form or survey for which you need a pie chart.

Step-2: Once you’re done styling and creating the survey, hit send.

Step-3: When all respondents have answered, click on ‘Responses’. Now, click on the Google Sheets icon at the top left of the 3-dot icon. That will open all respondent data inside a spreadsheet on Google Sheets.

Step-4: Inside Google Sheets, select a column and scroll upwards till you reach the cell with the question.

Now click on ‘Insert’ from the toolbar at the top.

Step-5: From ‘Insert’, select ‘Chart’ to generate a chart. Sometimes, when you click on it, you will not get a pie chart directly. Don’t worry about that. You can pick your own charts; a pie chart is one of the first and most frequently used options.

Step-6: Click on the ‘Customize’ tab and alter the pie chart according to your liking.

Is Google Forms The Best Survey Software? Hell No!

Ok, so you know the answer? But stating reasons are crucial. Because Google Forms has worked satisfactorily for a long time, although… it’s not perfect. It has some significant drawbacks that you should be aware of.

In the past, users of Google Forms weren’t impressed by the lack of features for conducting a crucial survey, but there are other areas of shortcomings, too. Here’s what we’re talking about;

• First of all, there is no difference in the available features based on a G Suite subscription. You get the same things in Google Forms whether you’re paying or not.
• Using Google poll apps, you cannot create vibrant polls that get immediate attention. The features required just aren’t there.
• The analysis is very superficial and, as you already read, extremely time taking with Google Forms. You have to export responses to Google Sheets for even the basic graphs and analysis. That’s the biggest time taking step.
• There’s no option to accept payments in surveys conducted using Google Forms.
• With Google Forms, with terribly limited options, customizing your survey’s look isn’t easy.
• Yes, Google Forms offer conditional logic (for free!), but it’s limited to only two question types. Isn’t that a deal-breaker?

You probably know all these shortcomings. So our question is, are you willing to spend some bucks on a perfect survey tool for your business needs?

If yes, the next section is for you!
