Connecting Google Data Studio with QUESTIONSTAR
Eligibility
Before you can analyze and visualize your survey data from QUESTIONSTAR in Google Data Studio, you first need to establish a one-time connection between the two tools.
For this you'll need:
- An active QUESTIONSTAR account with at least one published survey,

- And the special QUESTIONSTAR data connector for Google Data Studio.
Here's how to establish the connection between Google Data Studio and QUESTIONSTAR:

Create a new report:
Open Google Data Studio, click "Create" and select "Blank Report".

- Select a data source:
In the "Add data to report" window, type "QUESTIONSTAR" into the search field. - Select QUESTIONSTAR survey data:
Select the connector "QUESTIONSTAR survey data" and click "Authorize" to give Data Studio access to your data.

- Choose a Google account:
Sign in with the Google account you use for Data Studio. Allow access:
Agree to let QUESTIONSTAR access your Google account in order to establish the data connection.

Confirm QUESTIONSTAR access:
A QUESTIONSTAR sign-in page opens. Sign in with your QUESTIONSTAR account and allow access to your survey data.
Select a survey:
Once the connection is successful, you'll see a list of your surveys. Select the survey whose data you want to analyze and click "Add".
- Add to report:
Confirm the request with "Add to report".

Done! Your QUESTIONSTAR data is now available in Google Data Studio for analysis, visualization and sharing. ✅
