Using Array Formulas with Google Forms data, we create a single formula in the top row of Sheet, which will automatically perform calculations on any new rows of response data from the Google Form. (all made-up for the purposes of this example). The other columns contain Array Formulas with Google Forms data to calculate various metrics e.g. The form responses are collected in columns A and B of a Google Sheet (timestamp and number respectively).

In the example above, I’ve set up a simple Google Form, which asks a user to submit a single number between 1 and 100. (If you’ve never heard of an array formula before, check out: How do array formulas work in Google Sheets.) However, this is a perfect use case for an Array Formula. When a response is collected through the form it adds a new row under your existing data, and any formulas in adjacent columns get bumped down a row rather than being calculated. Have you ever tried to use a formula in the column adjacent to your form responses to do calculations? You’ve copied it to the bottom of your sheet, maybe even included an IF statement for the blank rows, and now you want it to auto-calculate whenever new responses come in.
