I really appreciate the clarity in which Kevin communicates. He seems to always simplify learning modules so they are relevant and understandable to me.

I was able to automate our CUSTOMER FEEDBACK FORM in the office because of your video. My supervisors were very impressed. Other units in the office were encouraged to create their own. You're one of my Internet HEROes!... Again!.. Thank you very much and more

For someone who has never created Google Form or collected data from the responses, your 29 minutes was like spot on to know all there is to get started, robustly😊

I muddled through creating a Google Form 3 years ago, and nearly pulled my hair out. Admittedly, anything tech related is challenging to me, but I went down an ugly rabbit hole fast. Now, I must create another form and am so grateful for your
thorough and clear tutorial Kevin! You have saved either mine or my laptop's life!

[vslingam]

Wow ! You have covered all the basics of Google Forms in one go within half an hour. Enough to get anyone started on designing their own forms.

[PlantsHeal]

This was exactly the introduction I needed . It has saved me a lot of time trying to figure out how Forms works. The insctructions were clear and concise. Thank you!

[wendiecostello]

I appreciate the thorough walkthrough. It was clear, easy to follow. I especially value the customization features (turning the survey into a quiz, changing the theme colors, and adding rating questions). Thank you, Kevin!

[JustBlankNoInfo]

I have just noticed you have replied to many people than you usually do! I really appreciate that initiative taking for replying when you have lots of work! That shows your dedication and love to your audience! In most cases even small YouTubers get no time replying but I just love the way how you show respect to your viewers! Keep going! Waiting for the baking video!

PS: - Sorry! Too much exclamations!

[gwenflorida]

Great video. Thanks. I have one question. How are you notified that someone has submitted a form? Do you get an email or do you have to just keep logging onto Google forms to check?

[ymeymeyme]

This could be one of the most useful channels I've ever found on YouTube! Great work.

My special request would be "how to make Excel files automatically name themselves based certain cell values", but I'm worried that might be a bit complicated 🤞🏼.

One use of this is for saving invoices based on client, date, etc. Combined with a batch convert to PDF, this could save a lot of time for many people!

[flysherin]

Clean and clear tutorial. Thanks Kevin for this video. So easy to understand and I can start creating my form without even returning to this video. Well done.

[waltchambers]

Kevin, thank you for the clear communication regarding this training. With immense appreciation!

[kyf_]

His content is underrated, it would be really helpfull for a lot of people

[TylerStanczak]

Google forms has always been a great way to collect info and results with ease. Thanks for the in depth tutorial :)

[PipCritten]

Great video that has got me "up and running" quickly. Much appreciated. With a little bit of practice I can now create a scored training module.

[JustBlankNoInfo]

Even though I know how to do almost 90% of these tasks, I just love the way you explain! So always I watch it till the end: )

[teresabuchner]

Thank you, Kevin. I have learned so much and I've been able to use many programs simply by watching your videos. I have two questions related to this video for Google Forms: 1) how do you set the case (uppercase, sentence case, lower case) as the default for a response? 2) Is there a way using Response Validation to force the user to enter First Name Last Name for a section labeled 'Requested by' or 'Name'?

[prabhjeetsingh]

Thanks Kevin. That was crisp, clear and super easy to understand.. loved it.

[silviaavideo]

This video was truly the best I have seen on this topic! Thank you so much for the clear content and your ability to make a difficult topic seem so easy. You are truly talented at what you do!

[nicholasincardona]

I found your channel out of necessity for a work project. A very thorough introduction of Google Forms and explanation of its features. I am hoping Google Forms will be a short-term solution to the business problem I am attempting to solve (4, 500 responses). Thank you for your most helpful video.
