How does this Report?

Reporting Example

Inside of a summary report, each row header from the Table of Dropdown Menus will have it’s own table element. Each of these will provide you with the count and percentage of how many responses there were for each answer option.

Exporting Example

The CSV/XLS export will assign a column within the spreadsheet for each row and column combination within the Table of Dropdown Menus. You’ll see below that it will first show you the column header, then the row header, and then the Table of Dropdown Menus’ question itself. It will then display the reporting value of the column the respondent selected. If a respondent has left a cell in the question blank, inside the CSV/EXCEL export, it will be represented by a blank cell as well.

Special Features

If you have a long list of row headers, a Table of Dropdown Menus allows you make it easier for the respondent to remember what column headers they had by repeating them as they scroll through the table.
