FAQ
Can Google Forms automatically calculate age?
Google Forms collects the data, but it does not perform live mathematical calculations on the form itself. You can easily calculate the age in the linked Google Sheet using a simple formula once the data is submitted.
Is this form secure for collecting birth dates?
Yes, Google Forms uses industry-standard encryption to protect data in transit and at rest. Ensure you only collect the information necessary for your specific purpose.
Can I customize the date format?
Yes, the standard date picker in Google Forms ensures a consistent format (MM/DD/YYYY) for every respondent, which makes sorting and calculating ages in your spreadsheet much easier.
How do I calculate the age in my spreadsheet?
Once your form is linked to a Google Sheet, you can use the formula '=DATEDIF(A2, TODAY(), "Y")' where A2 is the cell containing the birth date to get the age in years.
