I want to be able to have a form available on my site that when filled in and submitted, the submitted content is then displayed in a spreadsheet type view.
The uses are massive, but basically I want to be able to collect a list of volunteers. They fill in their own details and then the list is available on the site for others to view, a bit like a directory.

Look in your dashboard under results. There you will see the result and a option to download in a spreadsheet type view.
..what I want is to be able to display the data back out ont a page on my C5 site.
Customer fills out form
Presses submit
info appears on a 'directory' page

you probably want a custom view of that report as a single page.
I actually discovered quite by accident that you can take pages (like the reporting section) out of the dashboard and put them in your public sitemap, and they'll work! (go OOP!) However this doesn't give you any formatting control and it does also mean that anyone with access to it would be able to delete any record.. Moreover there's no built in way to make the form block point to a new page.
I don't think it would take a programmer very long to make what you're talking about, contact me off line if you'd like a bid from us franz (at) concrete5.org

Frz, I really have no concept of what this work would cost and the request is for a 'not for profit' soccer club website (www.hawkwellfc.com)
Based on what little you know so far would you be able to take a rough guess at a cost so I can see if the club are willing to consider it?
Thanks for the quick response by the way, I am loving C5.

I know this is kind of an old post, but you could look at embedding a google form, and on the same page embed the spreadsheet from the google docs form (so create a google docs spreadsheet, then create the form) then get the embed link for both and paste the embed links in to an Iframe (you have to install the iframe tool which is free). This will do what you want. Your data will refresh every 5 minutes (so you won't see new form entries if you are looking at the page at the time it is entered, unless it has been five minutes.
take a look at the data display addon, it does exactly what you want i believe
