Create a survey in Power BI

[QQ]

Hi, 

Got a question from a co-worker whether we can use Power BI to collect survey data. I would like to say 'no' to make my life easier and also I do not think that would be Power BI's strength. However I remember the 'Just for fun' winner of 2017 MS data challenge, created by Kane O'Donnell. That Power BI report captures what people choose and show in the visual right away. 

If anyone knows or have any guess on how Kane's report was developed, would you please help to give a brief description on it? Very curious how can the data model take in data.

Thank you so much!

If I had to guess, there is a custom visual involved there that is presenting the word clouds and keeping track of your score. That means some pretty heavy coding. 

This is not the use case for Power BI, I would look at Microsoft Forms.

Thanks a lot smoupre!

Sorry for my late reponse! Stuck in some urgent stuff since then.

I am about to learn on developing custom visuals. However my coding experiences have been limited to VBA coding. Would you please suggest some starting material/tutorial so I can start learning?

Thanks a lot!
