Graph Data
Overview
The Graph Data tab provides a live visual view of your quantitative question responses. Every single-select and multi-select question is automatically rendered as a chart, updating in real time as participants complete each question.
This is your fastest route to understanding response patterns — no pivot tables, no manual charting, no waiting for data exports.
Real-Time Updates
Charts update at the individual question level, not at the study completion level. As soon as a participant answers question 1, the chart for question 1 updates. You don't need to wait for the participant to finish the entire study. During active fieldwork, you can watch response patterns emerge in real time.
Chart Display Options
Each question can be viewed in three formats:
Bar chart — Default view, showing horizontal or vertical bars with response counts and percentages.
Pie chart — Proportional view. Click the pie icon to switch.
Table view — Numeric view with response counts and percentages in tabular format.
Switch between formats using the icons on each question card.
Filtering
Applying Filters
Click Actions → Filter to filter the graph data by any question response or participant attribute. All charts instantly update to show only the filtered subset.
Multiple Filters
Add multiple filters to drill down further. Each filter narrows the dataset across all charts simultaneously.
Clearing Filters
Click Clear All to reset all filters and return to the full dataset.
Important: Filters applied in the Graph Data view also affect your PowerPoint export. If you download the report while a filter is active, the exported charts will reflect the filtered data.
Cross-Tabulation
What It Does
Cross-tabulation lets you break down every chart by the responses to a specific question. This adds a second dimension to your analysis — showing how different groups answered each question.
How to Use It
Click Actions → Cross Tab.
Select the question you want to cross-tabulate by.
Every chart in the view now displays a breakdown by the selected cross-tab question.
For example, selecting "Have you participated in an AI moderator interview?" as your cross-tab question makes every chart show responses split between participants who said "Yes" and those who said "No" — instantly revealing differences between the two groups across every question in the study.
Removing the Cross-Tab
Clear the cross-tab to return to the standard single-dimension view.
Tip: Cross-tabs combined with filters give you powerful analytical capability without leaving the platform. Filter to a specific segment, then cross-tab by another variable to explore sub-group differences.
Exporting Charts
PowerPoint Report
Click Actions → Generate Report to create a downloadable PowerPoint file containing all charts.
Click Generate Report.
The platform processes your charts (this takes a few minutes).
A Download button appears when the report is ready.
Click Download to save the PowerPoint file.
Important: Do not navigate away from the screen while the report is generating. The download button will appear on the current page once processing is complete.
The PowerPoint includes every quantitative question rendered as a chart, reflecting any filters and cross-tabs currently applied, with one chart per slide for clean presentation formatting.
Tip: Set up your desired filters and cross-tabs before generating the report. The PowerPoint output mirrors exactly what you see on screen — so configure the view first, then export.
Individual Chart Download
You can also download any single chart as an image file by clicking the Download button on that specific question card. This is useful when you need one chart for a presentation or report rather than the full set.
Analysis Workflow
Recommended Approach
Start with the full view to scan all charts for immediate patterns and standout results. Apply filters to drill into specific segments and test hypotheses. Use cross-tabs to compare how different groups responded to each question. Download individual charts for quick sharing. Generate the PowerPoint to export the full filtered and cross-tabbed view for formal reporting.
What Graph Data Replaces
The Graph Data tab eliminates the need to export raw data to Excel, build pivot tables manually, create charts from scratch, or re-do analysis every time new responses come in. For many projects, it provides sufficient quantitative analysis without ever leaving the platform.
Known Limitations
Quantitative questions only — Charts are generated for single-select, multi-select, and rating scale questions. Open text, voice notes, images, and other media responses do not appear in Graph Data. Use Table Data or Interview Transcripts for qualitative data.
Report generation takes time — The PowerPoint export processes all charts and may take several minutes for large studies. Do not navigate away during generation.
One cross-tab at a time — You can only cross-tabulate by a single question at a time. For multi-dimensional analysis, export the raw data and use dedicated analysis tools.
Filter awareness — Active filters affect both the on-screen view and any exports. Clear filters before exporting if you want the full unfiltered dataset.
