Originally reported on Google Code with ID 404

One of our forms was for election results, and was effectively a table of numbers. Is
there any better way to do this besides one question per cell in the table (e.g. "How
many votes for UP in the presidential race?")

you can do multiple questions per screen and make each screen a column or two. the ideal
solution is to build some sort of table widget.

Hello,

I have been having some hands-on on my xforms and getting on well with it.
We are currently about to do some research and would be using the system for data collection.
I am busily working on some questionnaires for the platform now.

However, i'm having some troubles transcribing some tables into the xforms. I have
worked and had some ideas/solutions though but thought you could be advice best on
how to go about it. Through the night i have been able to do half of the questionnaire
and see a there is going to be enormous data in the exported results. I just downloaded
a preview of the results and see about 14 pages of the excel sheet though i'm not yet
done transcribing every question.

I would be glad if you could assist with some ideas on this. I'm still doing some findings
too on possible simpler ways to do this.
I hope to hear favorably from you soon.

Please find attached a sample of the questionnaire and results sheet.

The core team does not have the resources to create this widget. If you contribute one
back, we will add it to the main code tree.
