Web Forms to Excel
Stored form submissions and export to Excel® allow FormSmarts Pro users to aggregate form submissions on FormSmarts, and download a report at their convenience in Excel format.
You can activate these features for your FormSmarts Pro account here. If you’re not yet a FormSmarts customer, find out more about forms to Excel.
You will then be able to easily create Excel reports from stored form responses in a few clicks with the report generator.
Form to Excel FAQ
Is there a limit to the number of stored submissions I can receive?
There is at this time not limit to the number of form submissions you can store, subject to fair usage.
How long can I accumulate form submissions in the file to generate a report?
There is at this time not limit to how long you can store form submissions to generate a report. Our current plan is to start within a few months moving form submissions older than 45 days to an history database, from where data can be retrieved on request.
Can I access the report generator from the form builder page?
Excel reporting will go out of Beta mode in the next version of the form builder, and a link to the report generator will appear in a “Tools” box in the right hand column, along with other tools like the form cloning tool. These tools are are currently only accessible via the Help section of the website. Form storage activation will be integrated into the form builder interface.

Stored Form Results
Whenever someone uses one of your forms, we email you the form submission straight away. That is, at this time, the only way we support for you to access form results.
That’s great if you need to collect time-sensitive information that needs to be processed individually. For example, for contact forms or order forms.
For most individuals and small businesses, their email account is where data is safest. Free email services like Gmail or Yahoo give you reliable data storage, that’s an advantage that is often overlooked.
But sometimes what you want is really to collect form data, store it somewhere, and use it later. That’s what you need for medium and large scale surveys, registration forms, and the likes.
Stored form results is the next big thing coming up on FormSmarts.
What Will Change with Stored Form Results?
When this feature becomes available, you’ll have the option to store form submissions on FormSmarts. You’ll then be able to download them, export them to Microsoft Excel, get them emailed to you weekly, or get them via a private RSS feed.
Stored Form Results will only be available to FormSmarts Pro customers. Users of the free service can however get a free upgrade to FormSmarts Pro if they earn enough SmartsPoints, FormSmarts’ reward scheme.
Anything to Say?
We’re open to suggestions about other ways to let users retrieve stored form data.
