Sum form values in responses sheet - google-sheets

I am trying to sum incoming numbers that are user inputted via Google Forms and then transferred to a Google responses spreadsheet.
I have tried the basic functions in my attempts to solve this, but when new information drops into the responses spreadsheet, the formulas all move down a row since the incoming information is inputted at the highest row that hasn't received the Forms output.
If there is a way to sum the incoming data on a Google spreadsheet that would be great.

If the values you wish to sum happen to be in ColumnsD:E of the responses sheet then:
=ArrayFormula(C2:C101+D2:D101+E2:E101)
in Row2, after a response has been received, of a spare spare column may suit.

How to change textual data into neumerical data in google sheets?

I am relatively very new to the google sheets and excel, there is a task I need to perform.
I have a google form, that is taking user response and storing Data in a google sheet, the values are textual verbiage and I want to change this to corresponding numerical data.
What I have tried so far is, I have created a new sheet and with the help of query function I am storing this data into a different sheet, Is there a way to write a query function in a way, with the help of IF statements where it converts the data into numerical values.
The query I am using to fill the data in the next sheet.
=QUERY('Form responses 1'!A1:AF)
Is there a way where I can modify this query and get the result like this in the next sheet?
where value of "you slightly feel this way." should convert to 1
and value of "you somewhat feel this way (and somewhat not)." should convert to 2
or what is the other way to achieve the same result if not the queries?

Display last five rows in Google Sheets

I have a simple personal money tracker based on Google form for data input and spreadsheet for calculating, statistics and so.
Everything works just fine but now I need workaround to display the last five entries in sheet that contain raw data from Google form.
This is what the sheet looks like:
What I want to do is create new spreadsheet which displays the last five entries from the sheet with data from Google form. Please help me with right formula for this.
P.S: Would be perfect display this information right in Google form that I used to enter data but as far as I know its impossible.
If there are no gaps in the time column, you could try
=query(A:D,"select * offset "&count(A:A)-5)

Formula (Array, etc.) for automatic Google Sheets Indexing using inputs from Google Forms

I'm hoping that someone can help me tweak (or even substitute) a formula that I'm using in Google Sheets to automatically populate columns with information based on inputs from a Google form.
Simply put, I am using the Index function to match the name that is selected from a drop-down menu in the Google Form and arrives in Column E of the Google Sheet receiving the responses with an identical list of names in Column A of 'Sheet 2'. The index formula takes information from 'Sheet 2' relating to that name (e.g. Registration Number, Email Address) and places it in the 'Formresponses 1'sheet alongside the inputs from the Google form (including, of course, the name that appears in Column E'.
I have been using (variations on) the following formula without any issues, but I have to manually drag it down the relevant column in 'Formresponses 1' each time a new entry/name arrives from the Google Form: =index(Sheet2!$B$2:$B,match(E2, Sheet2!$A$2:$A,0),1)
I have successfully used Array Formulas to automatically carry out other functions on data arriving from a Google Form (i.e. adding up individual numbers to arrive at an overall total), but in this case I cannot figure out how to create a formula that will automatically take each new name that arrives in column E and insert it into the relevant indexing formula at that end of that new row.
Any suggestions - or solutions! - would be greatly welcome!
Thanks,
A.
Cheers I'-'I,
I've used I'-'I's response to my original question here as a starting point and, with a bit of research, I've come up with the following working formula:
= ArrayFormula(vlookup(E2:E, Sheet2!A:E, {1,2,3,5},FALSE))
[The curly brackets simply indicate the columns in Sheet 2 from which I want to pull pieces of data relating to each name that is matched up in the 'front end' sheet receiving the responses from the Google Form.] As with my previous problems with array formulas, I found the following website really useful, so full credit has to go to it: benlcollins.com

Update different sheets automatically when Google Form Response sheet updates

I have a Google form which is linked to a sheet Form Response 1. Now I have different sheets (around 10 sheets) which I want to populate automatically when the Form Response 1 receives any response.
In Form Response 1 sheet, I have column "Name". Now I want to gather data in different sheets with respect to "Name". Can someone post me the formula of how every sheet updates its data when Form Response 1 updates any record.
Assuming your Name is column B you could try one of these two formulae:
=FILTER('Form responses 1'!A2:Z,'Form responses 1'!B2:B="Name")
=QUERY('Form responses 1'!A2:Z,"where B='Name'")
Then amend the 'Name' to whichever value you want to appear on each sheet

Google Sheets Copy Down Issue

I have a google form that my students fill out daily. All form responses feed into one workbook. From the workbook, I have a spreadsheet for "Clean" data. Which is just the information from the responses sheet needed to graph progress. The formula I am using in A2 is: ='Form Responses 1'!N2
Nothing too complicated right?
However, each day that I want to show the kids their progress on the charts, I have to select the last two entries in the Clean Data worksheet and copydown the formulas in order for the new data to appear. Apparently, every time there is a new form submission, google sheets changes the cell address in the formulas. Is there any way around this?
As JPV commented, the "pushing down of formulae" by form submissions may be counteracted by using an array formula (in row 2):
=ArrayFormula('Form Responses 1'!N2:N)
And as Akshin commented, if you were in fact bringing over a couple of columns for graphing purposes, you can do it all in one with QUERY. For example:
=QUERY('Form Responses 1'!A:N,"select A, N",1)
