Comparing more than two variables
I have some research data I need to tally and chart. I am looking at a
group of subjects that answered a 7-question test. I want to tally the responses, and tally the total instances of each one compared to the others (like how many answered yes to 1, 2, and 3 (or any other combination)). I know pivot tables can give me 2 variables and how many of each gave an answer, but I would like to do it for the whole test. Can anyone help me out? For instance, example questions could be (for simplicity sake): male or female: age (0-20, 21-30, 31-50, 50+): hair color (brown, black, blonde, or red): favorite color (red, blue, green, or yellow): I would like to know how many FEMALES, age 21-30, with BROWN hair have 'RED' as their favorite color? |

Comparing more than two variables
Let's say we have
In A2:A72 Gender (1 for M or 2 for F) In B2:B72 age group (1,2,3...) In 2:C72 favourite colour (1,2,3) We will do the males first (of course!) In F1:H1.... enter 1,2,3..... for the age groups In E2:E5... enter 1,2,3 for colour preference In F2 enter =SUMPRODUCT(--($A$2:$A$72=1), --($B$2:$B$72=F$1), --($C2:$C72=$E2) copy this across to H2 and then copy the F2:H2 down to row 5 Copy F1:H5 to K1 In the first formula change --($A$2:$A$72=1) to --($A$2:$A$72=2; copy the formula down and across Now you have the female data OR: Filter the data to get females and do Pivot table then filter to get males and made another pivot table best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "LrdNikon" wrote in message ...

Comparing more than two variables
you may be able to do these type of charts in a program called "insight
a2", it can connect to excel and do charting of more than one variable. google for it. Mark LrdNikon wrote: I have some research data I need to tally and chart.
