Standard options (1) can be used to export all aggregate results to CSV, Excel, or PDF, or to print. Additional, more customizable exports can also be utilized:

  • Without Text Responses (2): Exports aggregate results to PDF format or print and excludes all responses to any text/memo question types included on the survey form. The export will only contain aggregate results for all multiple-choice question types.

  • Open-Ended Responses (3): Exports aggregate results to PDF format or print and excludes all responses to any multiple-choice question types. This export option generates a document containing aggregate results for all text/memo question types.

Exporting Multiple-Choice Question Types

Multiple-choice questions generate an output containing the value, option, total, average, median, mode, standard deviation, and variance. For multiple-choice question types with comments enabled, comments will appear as they were input by the respondent – one comment per line – as well as a word cloud.

Value

 


The numeric value associated with the answer options.

info When a question is constructed, the values are built from lowest to highest, but they can be displayed from highest to lowest, which would be configured via the Survey Form Designer.

Option

The answer options from which a survey participant could make a selection.

Total

The total number of responses for each answer option.

Average

The average score – the sum of the responses divided by the total number of responses.

Median

The median score – the value at the midpoint of the frequency distribution of responses.

Mode

The value that was most commonly selected by survey participants.

Std Dev.

Measures the amount of variation in the response set. A low standard deviation indicates that the values tend to be close to the mean, while a high standard deviation indicates that the values are spread out over a wider range.

Variance

Variance is a statistical measurement used to determine how far each number is from the mean and from every other number in the set.

Exporting Text/Memo Question Types

Text memo question types will produce an output with one bullet point per individual response up to 500 responses. Additionally, a word cloud will be generated, although word clouds do not contain numbers.
