Excel

when doing a survey with responses which are coded e.g. 1=yes, 2=no, 3=maybe, I want to put all this information into charts/graphs. Could you give me any help with this?
Also, is excel capable of cross tabbing responses from surveys?

RE: excel

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your question.

I assume you would want each question and the count of yes's, no's and maybe's for each question?

You could use a CountIf function:

=countif(Range of cells with the numbers in,criteria such as 1)

e.g. =countif(a6:f16,1)

This will count how many times 1 was entered into that cell range.

Is your data arranged in columns with column headings? If so you could create a Pivot Table.

Please find a link below on how to create a Pivot Table.

I hope this helps.

Regards

Simon

Excel tip:

Checking if a calculation adheres to Order of Precedence

When writing formulas you must make sure that results will be calculated as you intended.

Excel adheres to the standard order of precedence for calculations. It calculates percentages, exponents, multiplication, and division in this order before calculating addition and subtraction.

For example, =7+5*3 results in an answer of 22, not 36.

To force a calculation to be completed before another calculations, place the section in parentheses: =(7+5)*3 will result in 36.

To check how excel is evaluating a formula, click on the cell and select the 'Tools' menu, select 'Formula Auditing' and click 'Evaluate Formula'

In the dialog box click on 'Evaluate' to watch as each part of the formula is successively calculated.
