  • 1.  Multiple response Question among different cohorts using clustered bar chart

    Posted Fri November 11, 2022 09:37 AM
    Hi,

    I am trying to represent the response percentage of 3 different groups to a multiple response question. I've defined the response set but when I make a clustered bar chart the response percentage is representative of the percentages of responses in that cohort for an answer relative to the whole group (i.e. 100% of people in one cohort identified as a science student but the response percentage is only showing 40% and that cohort is 40% of the overall group number). 

    I am very stuck as to how to get around this. Any help much appreciated.

    Using the Chart Builder, you can choose the percentage base for the bars: grand total, total for each x-axis category, or total for each legend variable.

    Hi Jon,

    Yes, I've tried all of these options, but none give the desired output. 

    For example, this is the output I get from the total for each x-axis category.

    I would like it to show the percentage as identified from that cohort. For example, 100% of the student identified as students. So, I would like for that bar to reach to 100, in this example it is relative to the x-axis category. The closest I've gotten is with the response base but that only presented it as the percent relative to all the cohorts (i.e. only 41% was shown for students). 

    I have the x axis coded as the multiple response variable. Would I have to go about this in a completely different way?

    In Chart Builder, if you choose "Percentage ()" for the statistic:

    The "Set Parameters" button gives you these options:

    Are you saying you tried these and they didn't work the way you wanted?
