Analyzing the Data
Multiple chart types are available for Table Dropdown questions, including column, bar, line, and radar charts. These charts show the average score for each option that ordered by row questions, the column average and the column total values.
The table shows the average score for each cell, the row average, the row total, the column average and the column total.
These scores are calculated by the following formulas:
Row Total = Sum of Row Scores
Row Average = Sum of Row Scores / Number of Column Questions
Column Total = Sum of Column Scores
Column Average = Sum of Column Scores / Number of Row Questions
For example, the scores for this question are calculated:
Row Total for “Appearance”= 3.5 + 4 + 4 = 11.5
Row Average for “Appearance” = 11.5 / 3 = 3.83
Column Total for “Bing” = 3.5 + 4.5 = 8
Column Average for “Bing” = 8 / 2 = 4
Note: The answering content of each option can be viewed in the Responses. The Default Report only displays the average score.
