Building surveys and quizzes with excel

Building A Quiz, Survey or Questionnaire … Step by Step

Building Quizzes, Surveys and Questionnaires either to test knowledge on any topic or collect answers… is extremely common and useful.




In a previous tutorial, I shared an Excel Quiz used to test the Excel level for candidates applying for a Job. It consists of 40 Multiple choice questions. The Quiz can be marked with a click and reveal the score and rating of the candidate.

We’ll be combining lots of functionalities in this project, such as:

Data Validation, Functions, Conditional Formatting, Charts, Macros, protection and much more… it’s a Power-Packed recipe full of Excel Vitamins and Minerals

So let’s dive in

Here are the Steps and the VBA Codes used

I got the questions and answers from this website:

https://thoughtcatalog.com/kelly-peacock/2020/04/multiple-choice-trivia-questions-and-answers/

Entering Quiz Questions, 4 options and Answers ►Hide Column L

Create a Drop List in D2 ►Copy down to D41

Create a Function in Column F =IF(F2=””,””,IF(D2=L2,1,0))

Create Conditional Formatting in D2 : D41 and test it:

=F2=”” ►No Fill Color

=AND(F2=0,$XFD$1=1) ►Red Fill Color

=AND(F2=1,$XFD$1=1) ►Green Fill Color

Calculations:

X1 ► Sum(F2:F41)

Y1 ► ??/40

Z1 ► =”Your Score Is “& CHAR(10) &Y1

X2 ►=”You Are A(n) “& CHAR(10) &VLOOKUP(X1,X4:Y8,2,1) & ” of Excel”

Y10 ► =COUNTIF($F$2:$F$41,1)

Y11 ► =COUNTIF($F$2:$F$41,0)




Creating a Text Boxes:
Text Box 1 ► Name it

Select The Best Answer From The Drop List in Column D

Format in Dark Blue ► Size & Properties

Text Box 2 ► Name it
Reads: =$Z$1

Format in light blue ► Size & Properties

Text Box 3 ► Name it
Reads: =$X$2

Format in light blue ► Size & Properties

Chart 1 ► Name it
Source: X10:Y11

No Title, No Fill, Top Legend, resize Plot Area, Properties

Align and Position Text Box 2, Text Box 3 and Chart 1

Hide Columns F to L & X to Z

Insert 3 Pictures ► Set their Size & Properties

Automation 2 – 3 codes

Code one

Sub StartTest()

Range(“D2:D41”).Interior.Color = xlNone

Range(“D2:D41”).ClearContents

Range(“XFD1”).ClearContents

Sheets(1).Shapes(“Chart1”).Visible = FALSE

Sheets(1).Shapes(“TextBox2”).Visible = FALSE

Sheets(1).Shapes(“TextBox3”).Visible = FALSE

Sheets(1).Shapes(“TextBox1”).Visible = TRUE

Range(“D2”).Select

End Sub

Code Two

Sub SeeResults()

Range(“D2:D41”).Interior.Color = xlNone

If Range(“XFD1”) = 1 Then

Exit Sub

End If

Range(“XFD1”).Value = 1

Columns(“XFD”).Hidden = True

Sheets(1).Shapes(“Chart1”).Visible = TRUE

Sheets(1).Shapes(“TextBox2”).Visible = TRUE

Sheets(1).Shapes(“TextBox3”).Visible = TRUE

Sheets(1).Shapes(“TextBox1”).Visible = FALSE

End Sub

Code Three (Optional)

Sub AnswerExam()

Dim AnswerRange As Range

Dim QST As Range

Set AnswerRange = Range(“D2:D41”)

For Each QST In AnswerRange

QST.Value = QST.Offset(0, 8).Value

Next

Range(“D2:D41”).Interior.Color = RGB(146, 208, 80)

End Sub

Protection and Testing

Unlock the Range D2:D41 and XFD1
