Import of 50+ Survey Data Results
I have data results (20 questions) on 50 different spreadsheets. I want to
consolidate the result of the 20 questions into a meaningful report, within Excel. Is there a good way to find out, for example, how many of the 50 respondents rated question number 1 as a 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5? My final result is to find out something like: Question 1: 1: Strongly Agree (10 responses) 2: Agree (20 responses) 3: Neutral (10 responses) 4: Disagree (10 responses) 5: Strongly Disagree (0 responses) ....and so on throughout the 20 questions. The surveys are all identical and in an Excel form, so each cell on each survey is the same (with the exception of the response that the associate has marked). I'm comfortable with most macros, so if that's the way to go I'm open! -- Thank you! - Jennifer |

Import of 50+ Survey Data Results
Macros might the way to go, but have you thought about Pivot Tables?

Import of 50+ Survey Data Results
How would I do that? I have each survey (matrix style) on a different
workbook. Please let me know your thoughts. -- Thank you! - Jennifer "Mark Ivey" wrote: Macros might the way to go, but have you thought about Pivot Tables? "Jennifer Cali" wrote in message ...

Import of 50+ Survey Data Results
I must have misunderstood you. If they are all in different workbooks, then
a macro is probably the best way to go. Can you give some more details on these workbooks: 1. Are the workbooks named the same or different? Do they have one common location (directory)? 2. What are the names of the worksheets you need data from and from which cells? "Jennifer Cali" wrote in message ... How would I do that? I have each survey (matrix style) on a different workbook.

Import of 50+ Survey Data Results
Mark is right, the best way to accomplish your task is to make use of the
pivot tables, but first, you have to organize your dataset. As far as I understood you applied a 20 question schedule to 50 people and got the answers each person responded in a separate worksheet, creating a workbook with 50 worksheets. To organize your dataset in order to use it with pivot tables, you have to put everything in a single worksheet in which the columns are variables (responses to each question) and rows are respondents (people interviewed): A B C 1 SEX AGE ADDRESS ... 2 male 32 Survey Street, n234 3 female 21 Under the bridge After you organize your data in this manner, select the whole range with data, and click on DATAPIVOT TABLE AND PIVOT CHART REPORT... to call the wizard and make all the frequency tables you want. You will only need a macro to organize the data. I can help you with that if you further clarify how the original data is organized.

Import of 50+ Survey Data Results
Jennifer,
Not too sure if this is exactly what you were wanting, but it will put it all into one workbook. Try it out and let me know... Sub GatherSurveyData() Dim FolderName As String, wbName As String, r As Long, cValue As Variant Dim wbList() As String, wbCount As Integer, i As Integer FolderName = "C:\My Documents\Survey Results\" wbCount = 0 wbName = Dir(FolderName & "" & "*.xls") While wbName < "" wbCount = wbCount + 1 ReDim Preserve wbList(1 To wbCount) wbList(wbCount) = wbName wbName = Dir Wend If wbCount = 0 Then Exit Sub ColArray = Array("B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G") For q = 1 To 20 Sheets.Add r = 8 Cells(1, 1).Value = "Question " & q Cells(7, 2).Value = "Strongly Agree" Cells(7, 3).Value = "Agree" Cells(7, 4).Value = "Neutral" Cells(7, 5).Value = "Disagree" Cells(7, 6).Value = "Strongly Disagree" shName = ActiveSheet.Name Sheets(shName).Name = "Question " & q ca = 0 cb = 8 For col = 2 To 7 For i = 1 To wbCount r = r + 1 cValue = GetInfoFromClosedFile(FolderName, wbList(i), "Sheet1", _ ColArray(ca) & cb) Cells(r, 1).Formula = wbList(i) Cells(r, col).Formula = cValue Next i ca = ca + 1 r = 8 Next col ca = 0 cb = cb + 1 Columns("A:G").Select Selection.ColumnWidth = 15 Cells(1, 1).Select Next q End Sub Private Function GetInfoFromClosedFile(ByVal wbPath As String, _ wbName As String, wsName As String, cellRef As String) As Variant Dim arg As String GetInfoFromClosedFile = "" If Right(wbPath, 1) < "" Then wbPath = wbPath & "" If Dir(wbPath & "" & wbName) = "" Then Exit Function arg = "'" & wbPath & "[" & wbName & "]" & _ wsName & "'!" & Range(cellRef).Address(True, True, xlR1C1) On Error Resume Next GetInfoFromClosedFile = ExecuteExcel4Macro(arg) End Function "Jennifer Cali" wrote in message ... 8Hi Mark, 1. The workbooks are all in the same directory: C:\My Documents\Survey Results. They are named: Survey1, Survey2, Survey3, etc. 2. The worksheets are all on Sheet1. The matrix, on each sheet, is 5 across and 20 down filling the cell range B8:G28. Hope this helps, and thank you VERY MUCH for your help! -- Thank you! - Jennifer "Mark Ivey" wrote: I must have misunderstood you.
