Matrix Slider Grid

Professional Edition and above
The Matrix Slider Grid has received a refresh with the ability to use the same style of sliders that are used in the Number, Range Slider. The Matrix Slider Grid now has the same enhanced styling with new slider options that are much easier to use.

You can choose from a number of style options for the Thumb and Slider Bar and also choose if you want only the Thumb to appear or for the Slider Bar to show the scale prior to the thumb location.
Grid Slider Options
The various styles and combination of thumb scale give a range of options for your survey projects.

You can also optionally include an Click to Activate feature so that respondents must first click the slider and then choose and option. This will remove bias as there is no option already selected.
Grid Slider Example

Text, Single Range, Single Drop Down Grid

Enterprise Edition and above
The new Text, Single Range, Single Drop Down Grid question allows you to have a matrix question with Rows and Choices and a second range of Choices for the selection of each Cell. This is true statistical question which is similar to the Text, Single Range, Text Grid except that the text entries are fixed choice selections, supporting randomisation, sorting and other choice features.

Download Overview Data

Sometimes when you are viewing an overview chart you might want to get that data so that you can undertake further analysis. On overview charts you can now choose to download the raw data for the statistic as an Excel spreadsheet. Just click on the Export Data as Excel option on an overview chart.

The download spreadsheet will then contain data matching the results of the chart, based on the Number of Responses for each particular range, with their accompanying labels.
