Exporting Response Data

4 min readLast updated August 8, 2026

Your response data belongs to you. FormBharat gives you three ways to get it out.

Export to CSV

  1. 1Open your form's Responses page
  2. 2Click "Export CSV"
  3. 3A file named {form title}_responses.csv downloads immediately

The CSV includes one column per form field, using your field labels as headers. If your form is a quiz, a Score column is included too. Exporting fetches every response first, so large forms can take a few seconds.

Open the file in Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet tool.

Export to PDF

Click "Export PDF" on the same Responses page for a print-friendly summary you can save or share - useful for reports where a spreadsheet is overkill.

Sync Automatically to Google Sheets

For ongoing exports, set up a live sync instead of exporting manually every time:

  1. 1Go to your form's Settings
  2. 2Find "Google Sheets Sync"
  3. 3Click "Connect Google" and authorize your account
  4. 4Paste the URL of the Google Sheet you want to sync to
  5. 5Optionally set a tab name - defaults to Sheet1
  6. 6Toggle sync on

Once connected, every new response is appended as a new row automatically, timestamped in IST. The header row is written the first time someone submits after you turn sync on.

Which Should You Use?

  • One-off export: CSV
  • Report for stakeholders: PDF
  • Live dashboard / ongoing analysis: Google Sheets sync
