Google Forms add-on

Keep form choices synced with the spreadsheet your team is already maintaining.

FormRanger connects Google Forms questions to spreadsheet-backed data so dropdowns, multiple-choice lists, and checkboxes stay current without manual editing. It is built for teams managing changing rosters, catalogs, schedules, and other dynamic option sets.

Core features

FormRanger exists so teams do not have to maintain the same list of valid answers in two different places.

Spreadsheet-backed choices

Map questions to a sheet range so the form reflects the latest values from your source data.

Question-type coverage

Use dynamic data with supported Google Forms question types such as dropdowns, checkboxes, and multiple choice.

Sorting and cleanup

Sort values and remove duplicates before respondents ever see the resulting options.

Scheduled refreshes

Keep the form aligned with sheet changes over time instead of relying on manual question edits.

Typical use cases

Roster-driven requests

Populate form questions with current team members, instructors, reviewers, or locations.

Operational catalogs

Keep forms aligned with live lists of products, services, sessions, or support categories.

Program administration

Use centrally maintained spreadsheets to control the choice lists that respondents can select.

Lower-maintenance forms

Reduce the risk of stale or inconsistent choices across forms that must stay accurate over time.
