Excel Layouts That Convert to Google Forms
Pirai AI reads the first sheet of your .xlsx file. Common layouts it handles:
- Column A = question, Columns B-F = answer options: One question per row, answer options in adjacent columns. The most reliable structure.
- Type-flagged columns: A column indicating question type (MC, OT, Matrix). Pirai AI uses the type flag to assign the correct Google Forms question type.
- Survey scripts with coding: Question text, response options, and recode values across multiple columns. Pirai AI extracts question and option text.
- Simple numbered lists: Questions in column A with options listed in rows below each question.
If your questions are on a sheet other than Sheet 1, move them to Sheet 1 before uploading.

Excel vs Google Sheets
Pirai AI converts .xlsx files directly. If your question bank is in Google Sheets, export it as Excel (File > Download > Microsoft Excel), then upload the .xlsx. The conversion produces a Google Form - not a Google Sheet. The form structure comes from your question bank; Google Forms then connects to a separate response Sheet automatically when you enable response collection.
