You can view information about variables by hovering over the variable’s name in the Question List or by selecting the variable in the Question List.

If you hover over a categorical variable, a pop-up displays the variable’s description and categories.

If you select a categorical variable in the Question List, Survey Results displays a table and, if your options request it, a bar chart. The table lists each category with its count of cases and a column percentage showing what proportion the category is of the variable as a whole. The chart has one bar for each category showing the percentage of cases that are present in that category. The percentages are based on the number of cases present in the variable, not the number of cases in the dataset as a whole. The chart does not have a base row.

If you hover over a numeric variable, a pop-up displays the variable’s description and its minimum and maximum values as they are defined in the questionnaire definition file. If the data was gathered using UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer, these will be the minimum and maximum values defined for the question in the script.

If you select a numeric variable in the Question List, Survey Results displays a table showing the base, mean, minimum, maximum, and standard deviation based on the values found in the data. There are no charts for numeric variables.

If you hover over a text variable, a pop-up displays the variable’s description.

If you select a text variable in the Question List, Survey Results lists the variable’s values, one per line. There are no charts for text variables.

If you hover over a grid variable, a pop-up displays the variable’s description.

If you select a grid variable in the Question List, Survey Results displays a table that matches the grid. The grid cells show counts and, depending on the options set in the dialog box and the orientation of the grid, percentages may also be shown. If you choose column percents in the Options dialog box and the grid is vertically oriented, then column percents will also be shown. If you choose row percents and the grid is horizontally oriented, then row percents will also be shown. Charts are not generated for grid variables.
