Survey Data Analysis in Excel

How OfficeReports Simplifies Survey Data Analysis

OfficeReports Calculo extends Excel into a full-featured survey analysis environment — purpose-built for market researchers.‍

Built directly into Excel — no need to learn a new interface

Advanced statistical tools — including T-test, Z-test, correlation, NPS, Top/Bottom N, and weighting

Interactive data exploration — overview key patterns before diving into crosstabs

Smart filtering and batch reporting — apply filters at multiple levels and auto-generate reports

Customizable layouts — use built-in templates or define your own tabular views

All your analysis stays live — when new data arrives, just refresh the report.

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.

“Great alternative to Survey Reporter”

I use it for cross-tab reports and custom PowerPoint presentations from SPSS data. It gives me a level of control over the look, customization and automation of my presentations that I was never able to achieve with Survey Reporter. I can make the slides exactly the way I like them and never have to worry about reformatting with new data.
