Survey Data Analysis in Excel

Common Method for Analyzing Survey Data

Most professional analysts work in platforms like SPSS, Q-Research, or mTab to process survey data. Typical workflows include:

Recoding variables to structure responses and segment analysis

Building crosstab reports across key demographic or behavioral dimensions

Identifying trends and differences using statistical tests

Exporting to Excel to assemble deliverables or populate slides

Challenges with Traditional Workflows

No live link between data and reporting - changes require re-exporting and manual updates

Slow report iterations - especially for tracking studies or filtered segment views

Error-prone workflows — as teams reformat and edit exported tables

Siloed tools — limiting collaboration and transparency

That’s why market researchers choose OfficeReports.

"Offers a vital link between Excel and PowerPoint"

Great program, nothing quite like it. Once set up, this offers a vital link between Excel and PowerPoint that we've never had access to before. Works seamlessly once you get your head around the layout. Torben is a good point of contact too, really helpful when we were getting to grips with it.

I use it for cross-tab reports and custom PowerPoint presentations from SPSS data.
