    I have followed all the steps and all is working well; however I am having an issue with the number of responses. I have received 22 survey responses and have input all of the data. After setting up the all of the countif functions it is only recognizing 21 survey responses. I have double checked to make sure each survey was entered properly. I definitely have 22 rows of data.

    Hi Deidre,
    I agree with everything here, but when you are naming those columns at 4:20 onwards in this video, my heart broken seeing you naming all those columns one by one.
    Instead you can select all those columns i.e. B1:O26 whatever and press Ctrl + Shift + F3, it will ask you whether you want to name those columns using their respective headers, say OK for that. Bang...you already named 15 columns automatically without wasting time on selections and naming.
    Very useful video. Thanks...cheeers from India.

  • @tutsecret499
    @tutsecret499 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I want to tell you something, these answers on the sheets could be entered by the user behind the scene. Example: when the user is answering the survey, answers would populated plus calculation at the same time. Then when you need to open/visible the answers, you open it with a password. I made a project like that 20 years ago. I lost the file, backup when I moved to another dept at my job and I don't have the file. All I remember was al lot work, but very rewarding. I had to transform the questionnaire in word into excel, exactly the way it was, then I applied codes to feed the behind scene answers sheet. The result is a breeze. I think the code was like this: if q1 is 1, or 2, 3 than do this, if q2 is this and that insert this and that.

    Basically i'm trying to analyze a survey and i have race, age, town that they grew up in, education, and 7 questions that are agree to disagree. Do i add all of that data into a single spreadsheet? or one for the demographic and one for the agree to disagree since it's several answers to several questions.

    • @deirdremacnamara
      @deirdremacnamara  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      I would put all the raw data from the questions on a single sheet and then just to make the graphs easy to find I might put the graphs on separate tabs in the one file.

  • @stephenheath40
    @stephenheath40 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have followed your steps and everything went well until the countif selection at 7:58. When I "ok" it says I have "not enough arguments". I have tried to everything over again and again and still the same answer. What is the problem here?

    • @deirdremacnamara
      @deirdremacnamara  11 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Stephen,
      Not sure what the problem is
      Countif has 2 arguments;
      - Range
      - Criteria
      Does it recognise your range? (see video at 7:36) (Look at the right of your dialog box (pop up window) and do you see something like (2,6,7,2,3,4,1,1,2,4,5,)
      If it doesn't understand the "name" you can manually select the data
      Does it recognise your criteria? If you used a cell reference like C1 does it know what to count. See video and I have highlighted at 7.57.
      Hope that helps
      Deirdre

    • @stephenheath40

  • @3rd-Wave_Rebel
    @3rd-Wave_Rebel 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a question, it may seem unrealistic to show every percentage of each question. In my case, my survey has 43 questions in total, the respondents were only 9 of them. Therefore to show all 43 questions with pie charts or column bars will take too much space on the final product: my graduate thesis. Is there a solution to generalize the results which I can include on my thesis? (not having to convert every single questions into charts). I have 3 choices per question though.

    • @deirdremacnamara
      @deirdremacnamara  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you can do it with pen and paper you can usually do it in excel. If it is always the same 3 options for each question then a stacked bar might work.

      Not quite sure what you mean Sunil. At 1.37 on the video there is a table with all the results.
      There is no way to chart all data in some sort of chart that I know of.

      All you do is select a larger area for your range in in your countif function area with space to add more data. It will be ignored when blank and will only be counted as you add data.

      Each of the 2500 questionnaire are on separate rows and each variable is a separate column. Remember the variables should be number coded with for example Age 0-10 typed in as 1 Age 11-20 typed in as 2 etc.

    Hi Deirdre! Thanks for your help. Q: What do you do if your survey responses are not mutually exclusive?
    I have a survey question that reads: "Which community groups are you active in, check all that apply" and I coded each community group with a number. When I code a response "1,2," for example, the countif function doesn't count any community groups at all / pick up the response.
    Any advice or follow up tutorials on this would be wonderful! Thanks!

    • @deirdremacnamara
      @deirdremacnamara  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      No. Afraid not. Each option should be stored in a separate column. I think the only easy way to do that is to show each option as a separate chart or just chart the totals for each option. Hope that helps.

    This video helped me so much! However, I have a question, if I add another question or change the information to the questions on the Data worksheet, will it show up on the other worksheets with the charts?

      +Eliza S. The changes on the data sheet will show. However if you add a question you will have to do new naming and countifs/charts.D
