Excel Surveys for Skydrive

Oh man, perhaps Microsoft Access can be better suited in storing the databases of the surveys you’ve made so far. Yesterday, they had launched the Excel survey feature on Skydrive. It is for collecting information from your friends and family to better organize and plan activities. So, if you’re planning to organize one activity, you can make use of this feature to do so judging from the best feedback written in your surveys.

How can this work with Microsoft Excel? First, you can plan out the questions and type of answers you want as well as to set the response type and determine whether the questions are answered to answer or not. Once you’re done, you can share the survey through the link which is a freaking joke to the future of the technology. Having to announce your plans by mail or links like that may be a no-no as you may end up annoying your friends like that. Once the response is complete from your friends you’ve invited to the survey, you can see the results in Excel and do neat things like embed the results in the webpage or make and share the chart of the results which may be useful for holiday party, vacation or perhaps some kind of research.
