Send Responses to a New Spreadsheet

  1. Click the Responses tab.

A new spreadsheet is created, and opens in a new browser tab. Every response appears in that question's column, along with some extra data like the time that the response was submitted.

Now you can even use the tools available in Google Sheets to do some extra analysis of the responses, or even download the spreadsheet to use in Microsoft Excel.
