Populate Form from a Table

An update from this log.

A year ago, I was trying to populate my google form, from a column in a table, using a script formRanger. At that time, it can only be use in old google spreadsheet. So, when I change to new google spreadsheet, I can no longer use it. But today, I found out, it is in google Add Ons ... So... I'm in hype! The best thing is .. it can use other spreadsheet as the source. Nice he?

So anyway ... I prefer to have my list in the same spreadsheet with the respons report of my form, so first thing is ... I prepare my table. I put it in another sheet, the first row is the title of the list. So if you use other spreadsheet as the source, just make sure you put the first row is the title, If you don't you'll lose the first row in the list.
the list
Since I start from the spreadsheet, I make a form from that spreadsheet, so it will attach automaticly. click form - edit form ... it will take you to form. The first time, I instal formRanger, just once, and everytime I open a form, it will be there. In form, click Add-ons - Get Add-ons ...
Get Add-ons
In search box, type formRanger, then instal! (I already instal it, so it can only show manage)
instal
After you instal it, click again Add-ons, you'll find formRanger. Click it and click Start.
start
 Make your form, it only can populate the multiple choice, checkbox, list, and grid type questions. After you done, refresh your question using the button on the right side.
start
it is very simple ... just click new list, and it will take you to choose a spreadsheet, choose the column and name the list. And it will automatically populate it. Also ... you can set when will it be refreshed. So you don't have to open it again and again.

Look at the form here.

Google Form with prefilled today's date

I always wonder how to make a form that have a pre-filled with today's date. The only solution I got was adding a java script in form. But then ... I realized, that every entry I make, I always got a timestamp ... and it is always mark the date and time I create an entry. So .. all I have to do, is manipulate the sheet data ... after the 1st entry. In my sheet data, I insert a column on the left (or you can put any where you want, as long as it will fill the same row) On the first row (after the 1st entry) I create a formula ... if the timestamp is empty, then go empty, if not: check if the date entry is empty, if it is: take the timestamp date, if not: take date entry. Then apply to every row ... Column B: timestamp Column C: date entry =arrayformula(if(isblank(B2:B),,if(isblank(C2:C),B2:B,C2:C))) and, voila! You will have the current date. All you have to do, don't fill the date if you want it record as today. See file here ...

Color Blind = buta?

bus nrobos lampu merah ... supir mobil, "Lampunya merah! buta warna ya lu?" No .. mereka ga buta warna ... mereka cuma bodoh ... ehm ... bukan bukan .. tapi .. what ever lah ... yang jelas bukan buta warna! Gue angkat ini gara-gara ada yang kirim gambar color blind test. trus abis itu, ada yang nanya .. jawab yang benernya apa ... well ... ga ada benar atau salah sih test ini ... tapi ini lebih untuk menjelaskan apakah kamu color blind atau tidak. Karena, orang yang color-blind akan melihat angka yang berbeda dari yang tidak color-blind. Gue jadi inget nyokab n kk gue yang keduanya color-blind. Nyokab, full color-blind ... ga bisa liat semua warna ... sementara kakak gue, dia red-green color blind. ( info lengkapnya di sini ) Kalo yang gue tau ... color blind itu heritaged .. genetik ... keturunan ... dan dia nempel di kromosom x. Nyokab yang full color blind, mewariskannya ke gue .. tapi karena gue punya 2 kromosom x (karena gue cewe) ... gue ga mengalami color ...
