Grand Totals & Detailed Totals
If your export includes an applicable static matrix question, you will see two additional formatted worksheet options:
- Grand Totals provides a summarized view of the matrix results. Use this worksheet when you need a quick, high-level picture of how respondents answered.
- Detailed Totals breaks the matrix results down by each individual row. Use this worksheet when you need more granular, row-by-row results.
Regular and transposed versions may be available depending on the export.
