    How to create data from multiple choice survey?

    Hi everyone, I am terrible with excel and this may drive some of you crazy.

    I am importing data for a doctorate project where we surveyed 3 different health classes anonymously and asked a set of questions.
    -------------------------------------------------------
    On page 1 (pre-video), we had 9 questions, in an A-F format.

    We then had the students watch a video and then asked them the same set of questions (post-video) to test their knowledge on seeing if the video made a difference.

    I imported all of the choices and separated the pre-video and post-video between a green barrier (please, no laughing).
    -------------------------------------------------------
    Since A-F represents different answers in different columns, how can I apply each A-F to a specific answer for each column and then create data from that?

    For example:
    Question 1A-F

    1. When was the last time you saw a health care provider for a health check-up?
    a. This year
    b. Last year
    c. 3 years ago
    d. 5 years ago
    e. Never
    f. Other: _________________________

    Question 2A-F

    2. How often should you receive a health check-up?
    a. Every year
    b. When I feel sick
    c. Every 2 years
    d. Every 5 years
    e. I do not need one

    Etc, etc. So, with that, how can I apply the A,B,C,D,E,F as those multiple choices to gather data?

    Thanks for any help and for your patience. ok, you may laugh now at my disorganization.

    Re: How to create data from multiple choice survey?

    To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook. The workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.

    To attach a file to your post,
    click advanced (next to quick post),
    scroll down until you see "manage file",
    click that and select "add files" (top right corner).
    click "select files" find your file, click "open" click "upload" click 'done" bottom right. click "submit reply"

    Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.
    You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Thanks for the file

    OK so how would we know how to relate a PRE question to a POST question?

    Also, I think you mean that cols E:M relate to P:X?

    Can you give some samples of matches, as well as how you want the output to look like?

    everything on the left side is pre-video, everything on the right side of the green column is post video.

    Re: How to create data from multiple choice survey?

    OK, I get that part, your green "wall" works well for that (nothing to laugh at, it works)

    So are you saying that row 3 in PRE matches row # in POST?

    Also, how do you want the output to look?
    (Show some samples please?)

    Re: How to create data from multiple choice survey?

    I tried to send you a PM --wondering how much I can pay you to help me figure out the questions I should be asking and for taking the time to help me with this because i value your expertise

    Not sure if the message actually got to you! Anyway, I'm honestly not sure how i want the output to look. In general, we just want to be able to compare Pre to Post to see if they learned anything and the changes that were made from Pre to Post. Not sure which best analysis is necessary. Any suggestions?

    Re: How to create data from multiple choice survey?

    Like I said in my PM reply, this is a free forum, with help offered as and how we can, but thanks for the offer
    We do have a Commercial Serviced forum where you can pay for help on specific questions, but I dont really see the need for that here.

    As far as the comparison goes, perhaps just a 1/0 comparison, then add up the scores? Although Im not sure if there could be a "better/worse" answer possibility?

    well I can't argue with that! Again, thank you for your help.

    Yes, perhaps the 1/0 comparison and then my partner can extrapolate the data from there. I am just trying to organize it for them!

    Re: How to create data from multiple choice survey?

    OK to start with, if you want to see where the differences were (using 0=same, 1=diff)...
    Y3=--(E3<>P3)
    copied down as needed, and across 8 times

    OR, of you only need to see the sum of the differences...
    Y3=SUMPRODUCT(--(E3:M3<>P3:X3))
    copied down
