Reading your results

Every question has a summary card on the Responses dashboard: open the survey and click Responses in the top navigation. Each card shows a chart automatically. What’s underneath the chart depends on your plan and the question type.

Below each chart is a Data Table toggle — click it to expand the exact numbers. It’s included on Team and above; on Free and Solo the chart itself still shows counts and percentages on its bars, but the Data Table isn’t there.

What it shows depends on the question type:

Question type Data Table shows
Multiple choice, image choice, Yes/No Option, Count, Percentage
Rating A Mean / Median / Std Dev / Min / Max / Count table, plus a Count/Percentage table per rating value
Slider Mean / Median / Std Dev / Min / Max per statement, plus an overall average
NPS Promoter/Passive/Detractor counts and the NPS Score — no mean or standard deviation, since NPS is reported by segment, not by average
Matrix A count per row and scale point — no percentages or averages
Text input The 20 most frequent words, with frequency counts

On a multi-select question, percentages don’t sum to 100%. Percentage is each option’s share of all selections, not of respondents, so someone who picked three options is counted three times.

Standard deviation is the population version (computed across everyone who answered, not a sample estimate), and Min/Max are the lowest and highest answers actually given, not the scale’s endpoints.

You still get the mean for rating questions, shown as a score out of the scale (e.g. “4.2 / 5”) next to the chart, and the overall average for sliders. Median, standard deviation, min and max need Team or above.

The per-question Download button on each card (Team and above) exports the same statistics shown in that card’s Data Table. For raw response-level data instead of summaries, use Export on the Respondent List — see Results & Analysis for which export formats are on your plan.

Cross-tabulation — comparing one question’s answers against another’s — is a separate tool from the per-question summary above. It’s on Growth and above; see Results & Analysis for what it covers.

I don’t see a Data Table under a question. Either your plan doesn’t include it (Team and above), or the question type doesn’t have one — NPS and matrix questions show counts and segments instead of a table you expand.

The chart shows “Chart rendering pending” instead of an image. Downloading a chart as a PNG or SVG image doesn’t work yet. The numbers themselves are still accurate; use the Data Table or the CSV export instead of the image download.

A rating question’s header reads “/ 4” but I used a 5-point scale. That number reflects the highest answer anyone actually gave, not the scale’s maximum — if nobody has selected 5 yet, it won’t show.
