This is Part II of a series of videos where I share what I think are good ways to visualize different types of survey data questions. In this video we look at several ways to visualize Likert scale questions. https://vimeo.com/1154482698?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci
This is Part I of a series of videos where I share what I think are good ways to visualize different types of survey data questions.In this video we look at several ways to visualize a check-all-that-apply question, including a rank and magnitude dashboard and a connected dot plot dashboard. https://vimeo.com/1151281072?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci [...]
I recently participated in a LinkedIn Live discussion about how to visualize uncertainty in survey data with Bob Walker, Anna Foard, and Jon Cohen. I find myself contemplating whether we have a type of moral obligation to try to make sure our audience understands that there may be a big difference between the survey results [...]
Helping your stakeholders see and understand margin of error in survey data. A deep thanks to Anna Foard and Jonathan Drummey for their assistance, Ben Jones for the foundational work behind for my initial explorations, and Ryan Corser for asking me to look into this. Update: an earlier version of this post was titled "Visualizing [...]
Overview Although I was on vacation in April of 2023, I did see this twitter post. Daniel Zvinca’s response knocked my socks off. Here’s the post from Cole Knaflic. And here was Daniel’s response. “Goodness, yes” I thought. This addresses the shortcomings of what I’ll call the “inside out” approach for displaying Likert scale survey [...]
I’ve received a lot of requests to address the unique (and annoying) issues with getting SurveyMonkey data to play nicely with Tableau. The good news is that once you know where the stumbling blocks are it’s not very difficult to get your data “just so” so that you can create clear visualizations that provide solid [...]
A big thanks to Josh Wilson for encouraging me to write about this and an extra big thanks to Jonathan Drummey for doing the heavy lifting on making the AND approach work. A downloadable dashboard with all the examples can be found at the end of this post. Overview While cutting / filtering a question [...]
A big “thank you” to Daniel Zvinca, Chris Lay, Anna Foard, Jeffrey Shaffer, and Joe Cohen for their feedback and encouragement. Overview I published a blog post earlier this year on how I recommend showing results for Likert-scale questions broken down by different demographics. I had become fond of how organizations like Pew Research does [...]
Overview September 6, 2021 update: A big thanks to Chris Lay and Daniel Zvinca who chimed in on a variety of issues, the most important of which is that the margin of error is very large with a low response count. I've added an option to hide marks where the number of responses is fewer [...]
Note: A big thank you to Daniel Zvinca who wrote a wonderful article advocating the “inside-out” approach that I recommend here. Overview My preferred way to visualize Likert-scale data in Tableau is a little cumbersome to create and I suspect some audiences won’t find it intuitive. But it’s worth taking the effort to build, and [...]
