Google Forms – How to Create Question with Two Sub Questions

In your spreadsheet copy the column of cells with your choices. (Don't copy the whole column.)

In the form's multiple choice question select "Option 1".

Paste in your cells. (CTRL-V or CMD-V on Mac)

You'll need to create pages in your Google Form as well as relevant multiple choice questions to take you between these pages.

For each page you set up, they will correspond with a multiple choice selection.

1. Add a question type of multiple choice

   • You will see "Go to page based on answer" appear as a checkbox next to it. Click that.
     The following warning appears:

   Note: "go to page" questions work only on forms with multiple pages. Choose "page break" from the Add Item menu to add additional pages.

2. For each of the answer choices you'll see a "Continue to next page" drop down selection.

   

   • What they select here will determine if they skip a page and move right onto the next relevant section or continue as part of the normal flow.

3. To skip pages, look at the bottom of each page break section for the After page X: Continue to next page selection.

   

   • Choose accordingly and you can have the respondent not have to go through questions only those that selected a certain answer previously needed to.

Here's an example of what you might set up:

+ Bowel movements
|
| X : Y : Z
|
+ Night terrors
|
| {Y & Z answers from Bowel movements; Continue on to A Brunch to Remember}
|
+ Morning regrets
|
| {Only show to X answers from Bowel movements}
|
+ A Brunch to Remember
|
|

If you selected X in the Bowel Movements section, you jump straight to Morning Regrets. Other answers will continue on to Night Terrors. Those that fill out Night Terrors do not need to answer any from the Morning Regrets page and will then continue on to A Brunch to Remember.
