Default Complex Array sorting issue

Sure

if data was as follows:

Q1,Q2,Q3,Q4
1,1,0,0
1,1,0,1
1,0,1,0
1,0,0,0


Then result set would be
Q1,Q2,Q4 is largest group
Q1,Q2 is most common group
Q1,Q3 is next common group

I am looking to show the Most Common groups in the full set of data. Ranked
count tells me how many responses I got but not the Q Numbers that are
related.

Make sense ?

hi,

I can't see any difference on using "just a ranked count of responses"
and then use an index(ed) location for the questions -?-

(perhaps) if you provide a more detailed example of yor expected results (where and why) ?

hth,
hector.

__ OP __
I have a range of Question responses from a survey that
I'm seeking to find the most common response combinations from.
Simply sorting the data doesnt acheive that succesfully
Data is in the following format in a table 100 rows deep by 53 colums wide
Respondent Q1 Q2 Q3.... Q53
R1 1,1,0,1...1
R2 0,1,0,1,..0
R3 0,0,1,.....0
R4 1,1,1,.....0
R5 1,0,1,0...1
...
R100 0,0,0,1,..0
What I am seeking to work out is what are the Largest 10 combinations
and the Question numbers that make that combination
- not just a ranked count of the responses Eg Top Combination is Q1 and Q2, and Q53
I'm working thru using arrays but can't find a suitable method to get a result so far
Any guidance appreciated warmly
I have to repeat this over multiple other sets of similar data and would like to do it via a reusable approach.
