Excel survey needs to capture email address/user name for respondant
There doesn't appear to be a way to automatically capture the user name/email address of the respondent to an Excel O365 survey. This means I am having to create an extra question filled with people's names to capture this information which reduces the value of the survey.

Duplicate Tabs in Excel
It would be great if in Excel you can have the option to Duplicate the tabs instead of having to recopy everything each time
3 votesWe are excited to announce that it is now possible to Duplicate worksheets in Excel Online.
There are still cases where Excel Online will be unable to duplicate a worksheet. Most notably, in case either one of the following is present in the worksheet:
- Images
- Shapes
- Charts
Excel Online team is working to resolve these limitations.
Please continue to leave feedback on the feature, to help us improve. -

Surveys should allow completion by several users at the same time
Hello!
I have a survey in Sharepoint that I send to all the new subscribers to my site, and I've received several complains for people who are getting an error when filling out the survey because "the file is being modified by another user".
This doesn't make any sense. A survey should allow completion by any number of users concurrently.
I had to move my surveys to Google Docs in the meantime because of this issue. Hope it gets fixed soon!

Excel online survey form for mobile
If the answer can only be a date then make a calendar appear to make it easier to select your answer. Having to use a virtual keyboard to type out a date is pretty troublesome especially for people who are accustomed to different date formats.

Comment section
Hi
I would like a return facility in the comment box which isn't there at the moment for larger commentsAlso it would be better to have only one comment visible when I click on the comment box rather than all the comments boxes being visible at the same time
1 voteThanks for posting. This is a bug we found and have fixed internally. It is in the process of rolling out through rings of validation and should be in production in the next week or two.
Cheers,

Enable easy creation of surveys for OneDrive for Business/SharePoint authenticated users without compromising security
Now by default a user of OneDrive for Business/SharePoint simply cannot create a survey. Even if it is intended for other authenticated users only (without enabling anonymous guest links).
Now a survey can be created only if anonymous guest access is enabled at the site collection level by the admin. However, that is usually restricted by corporate security policies. More detailed explanation by this link: http://corypeters.net/2013/08/enabling-excel-survey-in-team-sites/
This is a major hindrance for the O365 Survey functionality adoption by O365 OneDrive for Business/SP Online users.
