Online survey (form) - add header graphic and footer, or at least a text description as a question type
Insert a graphic to a header and also have the option of choosing to insert a text description so that we can format sections or add instructions. Page breaks would be nice too, for those long surveys.

Summary of Results for Surveys
I have been using the survey in O365 and Forms in Google Drive and here is what I am looking to see from the survey app in O365.
In google forms there is an option to select "Show Summary of Responses". In one click the user sees the collated results from their survey instead of having to count the results, create a new table and then graph them.
I would love to see this functionality added so that it speeds up the process of analysis with surveys. Our Social Science Department at our school really liked creating surveys in Google…

Excel Survey have a sign in function (one response per user)
In Excel Survey it would be awesome if when we give someone a link to our survey we have the ability to require a username and password before viewing/completing the survey. I think it may improve security of the survey

Ensure submit is not activated by pressing enter
Many users tend to press enter to go to a new line and then pressing it automatically submits their survey answers even if they aren't finished filling it out. The survey should only be submitted by clicking on a dedicated Submit button.

Provide an embedding code for an Excel survey to display on the Sharepoint site (not the workbook!)
Rather than just providing a link for users to click on, it would be more practical and visually pleasing to embed the survey directly into a website.

Hi Tony,
You can already edit spreadsheets in the browser. All you need to do is upload your file to OneDrive.com (or your O365 account); make sure you are signed in to the browser with your Microsoft Account (@hotmail.com, @outlook.com, etc.) and then click on the “Edit” button and choose “Edit with Excel Online”

Allow easy embeding like Word & PowerPoint
Word and PowerPoint online have embedding options that generates an embed code for you to embed documents direction into other websites. It would be great to have that for Excel as well. While you can manually create a working embed code, it'd be much easier as an option just like with Word and PowerPoint!
1 voteGreat news – we have this functionality already. In Excel Online, click on the File menu in the Ribbon, then Embed.
Hope that helps,

Survey Improvement, and online interactive standard macro buttons on the online version
If we could design the appeal of the survey, it would be amazing.
Also, allow some standard function buttons to be placed and enable on the web app.For Excel Online

CSV import exceeding row limit
Allow CSV files that exceed the row limit of Excel to be imported somehow (multiple sheets maybe). Even the function to start importing CSV at a certain row in the import wizard doesn't work properly
1 voteHi Colin,
This is possible today using PivotTables (import the CSV directly into a PivotTable) or using Power Query or Power Pivot (which brings the data into the Data Model).
I’m closing out the idea to release the votes back to you!

Allow find down to be found on search as find next or...
Given the differences between excel online and the desktop app, i would suggest that things such as Find next be a bit more visible as options, or at least make a link to the keyboard shortcuts more visible.
2 votesHappy to share, Excel Online now supporting improved Find dialog and Replace dialog. You are welcome to try it and provide us feedback through the service (File → Help → Provide feedback to Microsoft)

Print survey option
I need a print version of my survey with the multiple choice options ready to be circled or bubbled-in. Most of my class can do the survey/test online but sometimes students have special needs, I have more students than computers, or students who were absent need to do the quiz at a different time/place without online access.
