Turning survey results into charts allows you to create visual representations of your data. Displaying results data visually helps to make comparisons obvious and is useful when presenting results in reports.
Generating Result Charts
To create your chart:
- Go to the Results page of your survey.
- Next to a chosen question, click Create Chart. A chart representing the different responses for that question will be generated.
- Use the Display drop down menu to change the type of chart.
- Use Export To to save a copy of the chart. Choose a file type - PDF, JPG or PNG.
- Click Show Chart Settings to give your chart a title and alter the values displayed. After making any Chart Settings Changes, Click "Update Chart" to re-draw the chart with your new settings.
