Using CONCATENATE with Google forms and sheets


I have a survey going out with Google Forms, but to analyse the results, I would need to concatenate some cells. However, due to the nature of Google Forms, whenever a new response is recorded, a new row is added. I've read around, looking at different forums and tutorials, but can't seem to find anything that works.

Some of the places I've looked are: concatenate column values for each row that gets added after google form submission

So what I would need help with is if it's possible to concatenate results from a Google Form without having to manually copy the formula in the cells whenever there are new responses. I've tried ArrayFormula, but I can't seem to get it to work. Any help would be much appreciated!


Solution

  • ArrayFormula(A2:A & B2:B) should do the trick.
    Note that the formula will persist even if you put it directly at the end of the form and then add a new field.
    It will just be shifted to the right, so you don't need to worry about taking care of that when you modify your form.
