In this example, the survey question has a multiple check box format. So calculations can be only Count or Percentage of Total, and you can choose which answer choices to include. Including “Unanswered” means that responses will be counted from participants who skipped this question. You would see similar options for single-choice responses.



Because this type of question has multiple answers, you also have the option of combining all answers into a single data point, or plotting each answer separately. Separated data provides more detailed results, but you won’t be able to create a scorecard feed. With separated data, you also cannot segment the data.
