Survey Monkey - Reporting Options and Ideas?
-
We set up a Survey Money account and this project is finally starting to take off.
Their reporting options are, well, less than robust, as it looks like I'll be manually building reports in Excel.
I'd rather not have "yet another spreadsheet" but as stated ion other posts, development isn't my strong suit but I can learn. We also have SharePoint Online but still haven't fully utilized it but not sure if that will be a good option for dumping and using this data.
Anyone have any common practices, suggestions or ideas on how to making reporting better?

Don't know about SPO but a simple webpart (plug-in) may do what you want.
There are loads of free charting libraries available, both for server and client side rendering. I do understand that you are not a dev, but this shouldn't be too hard.
So yes, would do this in SP.

I will check it out...and believe me, as I've posted a few times on here and SW, they want me to develop more, especially VBA focused but the interruptions and day to day of being SOLO IT Director doesn't allow for quality dev time.

@garak0410 oh dear, I know that
We're using sharepoint a lot, but I have to keep telling my colleagues over and over again that it is a quite impossible to be the only embedded, networking and backend dev, the only admin guy and on top a sharepoint guru at the same time So yepp, I'm also a one man show.Anyway, if you know some HTML, JS and CSS, you could build something on the client side. C# on the server side is another option. Like I said, it's not impossible.

Partly my own fault for a lack of motivation and discipline to study and learn but as @scottalanmiller has mentioned a few times, it is quite tough to do both. And that wasn't dogging what I do know because they love me here...But had another VBA project come up that they want done by Wednesday and if I can be "Superman" on that one, there might be hope for me...

Using our SharePoint Online options, I have dumped our first week of Survey results into an Access DB. The data is there. And I know this sounds dumb, but what do I do with it now? Are there any SharePoint online options to customize the viewing of this data? Or do I just analyze the data in Excel? I just don't see a lot of useful "Hey, use me to do this" screaming at me on my SharePoint Online site.
