Need Help Classifying Survey Answers

Hi,

I recently did a Usage Attitude and Image survey for my entrepreneurship class.

We were supposed to classify the respondents into four archetypes, and graph the responses per archetype.

I've received the responses but I have no idea how to use Excel to classify them.

Could you please help me?

The parameters for archetype are as follows:

1. Bullies - selected 4-6 items for question 9 (In general, which of the following would be acceptable ways for a card to poke fun at your family or friends? (You can select more than one))
2. Jokers - selected 3 items for question 9
3. Santo - Selected 1-2 items for question 9

Attached here is the .csv file of the survey.

All I need is a bit of editing here and some instructions.

Thank you!

Welcome to the forum!

Will you please attach your sample Excel workbook here? Some members will not access file-sharing sites.

1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

2. Make sure that your desired solution is also shown (mock up the results manually).

3. Make sure that all confidential data is removed or replaced with dummy data first (e.g. names, addresses, E-mails, etc.).

4. Try to avoid using merged cells as they cause lots of problems.

Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

Please pay particular attention to point 2 (above): without an idea of your intended outcomes, it is often very difficult to offer appropriate advice.

Word format is of no use to us here, but the .csv file opens in Excel.

Are answers always separated by a semi-colon ( ; )? If so, you can use this to count the number of answers given in that column:

=LEN(S2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(S2,";",""))+1

Put the formula in AH2 and drag down. Then in AI2 this copied down:

=LOOKUP(AH2,{1,3,4},{"Santo","Joker","Bully"})
