Hi community,

 

I am working on a survey data with a slightly different structure as compared to normal surveys. I want to filter one single select question by two multi-select questions i.e. 3 comparisons in total. Currently each of the options of the multi-select questions are in different columns. See screenshot below:

 

Filter multi-select question by multi-select question in survey data

 

I tried pivoting all the multi-select questions and used it in the calculation but was not getting accurate results. Could anyone suggest any other alternative on how to approach this without pivoting the multi-select questions?

 

Attaching a sample workbook with the original structure.

 

Thanks,

Vipin

    Hi Stephen,

     

    Thank you so much for your response.

     

    I am able to get what you are saying, it will be difficult to build visualization from this structure. Also, I agree, unpivoting the data is the best option. As I have already mentioned, unpivoting all the multi-select questions is not giving accurate results. But I was able to find a solution, i.e. unpivoting each multiselect questions individually, by this I have one single field for each of the question. After that, I created 3 parameters to make the comparisons, and all results were accurate, so finally solved it. Also very easy now to make charts as well.

     

    I really appreciate your response
