    Tallying Survery Results

    I'm a decent Excel user but am not familiar with the programming side of things or macros. I am appreciative of those who will try to help me out with this.

    I have about 50 survey forms with 20+ questions that have a scale of 1-5. I need to tally all of these and as soon as I start a physical count someone comes in my office and I start back over lol. I know there has got to be an easier method. I was thinking of a button on each option... and everytime I press the button it tallies in a different column. Maybe there's a better method even. I'm not sure how to accomplish this even if it was a good method. Anyone have any suggestions??

    Your attachment seems to have failed to attach.

    How much of this is specifically about Excel, and how much of your question is a more statistically generic "how do I analyze rating scale data"? I know these kind of rating scales are common in statistical analysis, and I'm sure there are many standard methods for "tallying" and analyzing these surveys, but I am not familiar with them. If you understand the statistical method you want to use and can explain it to us, we will be better able to help you program that into the spreadsheet.

    I would expect that some of the first steps in tallying or analyzing these results will be some simple =COUNT(), SUM(), SUMIF(), COUNTIF(), or similar functions. I personally would perform these calculations using the spreadsheet functions rather than VBA, though I think it really depends on whether you are more comfortable with the "spreadsheet formula" programming language or the "VBA" programming language. For example, if the respondent was instructed to use "X"s to mark the result, and my "tally" included counting the number of X's in the "no value" column, I might put =COUNTA(B4:B44) at the bottom of column B to count the number of non-blank entries in the "no value" column.
