Turn Google Forms™ responses into a clean tab you can count, filter and pivot.
Running a form leaves the same mess in the linked Google Sheets™ spreadsheet every time: checkbox answers crammed into one cell ("Vegetarian, Gluten free"), column headers that are whole questions, duplicate submissions from double-clicks, your own test entries, phone numbers that lost their leading 0, and "£20" in a number question.
Form Response Cleaner reads the responses tab, lists what it finds column by column, and walks you through a short wizard: confirm the checkbox options it found, accept the short headers, choose what to do with duplicates and test entries. A before/after preview shows the result before anything is written.
What you get, in new tabs beside your responses:
- Clean tab: one row per response, short headers, one TRUE/FALSE column per checkbox choice, typed numbers, phones and dates, Date/Week/Month columns for pivots, and a stable Response ID in column A. Frozen header, filter on.
- Excluded tab: every duplicate and test row, each with its reason. Nothing is deleted.
- Cleaning log: the rules applied with counts, and any values that could not be read (listed, never guessed).
- Choices and Summary tabs (Pro): one row per choice, and counts and % per option.
Your responses tab and your form are never changed. Your own notes columns to the right of the clean tab survive Refresh.
Free: findings on any responses tab, and the clean tab, Excluded tab and cleaning log for up to 250 responses with every rule. Pro (£3/month or £25/year): up to 50,000 responses per form, saved recipes with one-click Refresh, Choices and Summary tabs, CSV export, 3 activations, 30-day full refund. Education and charities: 50% off.
No response data leaves Google™. The add-on can reach only the spreadsheet it is opened in, and its only network traffic is a licence check.
