I guarantee you will get the hang of paid surveys spreadsheets in less than an hour. 

Step 1. Decide What Data You Want To Show

You need to decide what exactly you want your paid survey spreadsheets to prove or project, and you have to think of it in the simplest terms possible. For example, when creating free paid survey spreadsheets you might want to include the following information in your columns as listed below in example #1. Months of the year, name of survey company, date survey was taken, amount owed, and date it was paid. 

                  Example #1

Step 2. Think About How You Want To Format Your Data

Paid Survey spreadsheets are made up of columns and rows also called axis’s. Columns run north and south and are called the vertical axis. Rows run east in west and are called the horizontal axis. You need to consider how to use these to show totals in the data you are compiling. 

In the example to the right the survey company is listed in the vertical axis and the date of survey, payment amount, and date paid are in the horizontal axis. This format will make data projections and calculations easy to visualize.

Step 3. Choose A Program To Create Your Spreadsheet

Although Microsoft Excel is the standard (and most widely used) spreadsheet program today there are other alternatives. Excel typically comes with Microsoft Office and is with many new computer purchases. If you do not have Microsoft Excel click here, Open Office to download a FREE spread sheet program. Open Office functions exactly like and has many of the same features as Microsoft Excel.

Step 4. Enter Your Data 

Although this may sound like the easiest step, it is important to take your time, and enter it exactly as you planned in Step 2. Make sure you keep your data in line with different data axis’s, and take your time to make sure that everything is entered correctly.

Step 5. Apply Any Formulas

If you have set aside a special area on your spreadsheet for future projections, averages or other totals, you will want to enter them last. Simply click the space where the totals or other information will go, and then create the formulas with the auto sum features in the Excel or Open office programs. If you need help creating formulas, see the Resources section for a basic tutorial on how to create and use formulas in the help section of both programs.
