Give teams an Excel pack they can explore immediately

Deliver student feedback analysis as self-contained Excel workbooks with themes, sentiment, pivots, filters, and comment evidence.

Student Voice Analytics can deliver self-contained Excel insight packs with comment themes, sentiment, filters, pivots, benchmarks, and verbatim evidence. Teams can explore the analysis without needing a separate dashboard build.

See sample outputs, governance notes, and the reporting workflow in a 30-minute walkthrough.

Who this is for

Survey leads, quality teams, faculty partners, and analysts who need portable reporting.

Why it matters

Many institutional workflows still depend on Excel, especially during results and action-planning cycles. Static PDFs are easy to share, but they do not let teams filter, inspect, and reuse the underlying evidence.

What teams get

Make the analysis portable

A workbook can travel with the team, supporting local exploration even when dashboard access is not available.

Expose filters and pivots for real questions

Teams can filter by category, sentiment, year, survey, school, department, or other supplied metadata.

Keep summaries and comments together

The same workbook can hold top themes, benchmark views, positive and negative comments, and detailed tables.

How it works

  1. Analyse comments and join them to the required metadata.
  2. Generate workbook tabs for summaries, pivots, themes, and comments.
  3. Add filters so teams can explore local groups or topics.
  4. Share the workbook with the teams approved to use the evidence.

Outputs

  • Self-contained Excel analysis workbooks.
  • Pivot tables for themes, sentiment, and metadata.
  • Positive and negative comment tabs.
  • Benchmark and summary sheets for action planning.

Governance and evidence quality

  • Deterministic ML gives teams reproducible outputs they can re-run and explain across survey cycles.
  • The taxonomy is tuned for UK HE student comments rather than generic customer experience text.
  • All-comment coverage reduces avoidable sampling bias and keeps verbatim evidence connected to each insight.
  • Sector benchmarks help teams separate institution-specific issues from patterns seen across the HE sector.

FAQs

Can Excel packs include all comments?

Yes. Workbooks can include all valid comments alongside summary and pivot views, subject to data handling rules.

Are Excel reports an alternative to dashboards?

They can be. They are useful when teams need portable, filterable outputs before a dashboard is built.

Can workbooks be split by school or department?

Yes, where the input data includes the relevant organisational metadata.
