How the Google Sheets integration works

Once the integration is live, a new row is automatically created in your Google Sheet every time someone submits your form. The submitted form responses automatically appear in the spreadsheet.
You can modify the columns in the spreadsheet as needed by moving or deleting them. The form responses will continue to populate according to the updated column structure.
If you set up the integration for an existing Tally form, all previous responses will instantly populate the spreadsheet as individual rows. Going forward, a new row will be added after each new form submission.
You can connect your Tally form to different Google Sheets spreadsheets by setting up the integration multiple times.

How do I delete the Google Sheets integration?

If you no longer want your integration to send form responses to your Google Sheets, click 🗑 next to the integration to delete it. Removing the integration won’t delete the Google Sheets document itself, but any future form submissions will stop syncing to that spreadsheet.

How do I show local timezone in Google Sheets?

Submission times are displayed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) when exported to integrations like Google Sheets. You can add another column in your spreadsheet to display submissions in your local timezone using a formula.
To add the formula, follow the steps below:
  • Create a new column and title it Local submitted at.
  • Copy the formula below and paste it into the formula field for the first cell under the new header you created:
    • =ARRAYFORMULA(IF(ROW(C2)=1, "Local submitted at", IF(ISBLANK(C2), "", C2+6/24)))
  • Adjust +6/24 in the formula to fit your time zone in relation to the UTC time. For example, if it’s -8 hours, change it to -8/24.
  • The formula will calculate and show the new time zone in the cell. Make sure the format is set to display the results as a time and date. Go into Format in the navigation, click on Number, and select Date time.
  • To apply the formula to the rest of the form entries, as well as forms submitted in the future, you can click and drag the first cell down manually.
  • Alternatively, click on the new calculated cell and copy it using cmd/ctrl+ C shortcut.
  • Then, press cmd/ctrl + shift + to automatically select all cells in the column and press cmd/ctrl+ V to paste the formula. This will ensure that whenever a new form is filled, the formula will apply to the newly created cells showing the adjusted time zone.
