Microsoft Forms gives Office 365 users the ability to create online capture forms, quizzes and surveys without any web development required. Each form can be set to be externally or internally available for use.

All responses are then logged and visible from the form itself under the responses tab whereby you can check on the results from the form. You can also open the results in a tabular view in Excel or PowerBI if you require it in an external source.
