I have a data set with multiple columns that contain Likert Scale responses. In the header of each of these columns is a Likert Scale question such as, "How much do you agree with this statement?". The values of each of these columns contain Likert Scale answers that range from: "Strongly Disagree", "Disagree", "Neutral", "Agree", and "Strongly Agree".
I cannot provide a working Google Sheet sample at this time (on my work computer and away from home without access to a personal computer) but I can create sample tables below showing my expected Pivot Table result and a sample data set.
What I would like to do is create a Pivot Table using the data from these Likert Scale questions to analyze the total number of Likert Scale answers for each question. The problem I am facing is that I would like to accomplish this using only one Pivot Table as opposed to creating a Pivot Table for each individual question. So, ideally, I would like a Pivot Table that looks similar to this with the Likert Answers as columns and Likert Questions as rows (or vice-versa) like so:
Strongly Disagree | Disagree | Neutral | Agree | Strongly Agree | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Question 1 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
Question 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 2 |
Question 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4 |
And the data set sample I would like to Pivot looks like this:
Question 1 | Question 2 | Question 3 | Year Received |
---|---|---|---|
Strongly Disagree | Strongly Disagree | Strongly Agree | 2020 |
Strongly Disagree | Disagree | Strongly Agree | 2021 |
Neutral | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | 2020 |
Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | 2022 |
Any help/input would be greatly appreciated even if the answer is simply, "Sorry, I do not think that this is possible with a single Pivot Table." which is the conclusion I have drawn.
As far as I am aware, this cannot be done in a single Pivot Table and instead requires an individual Pivot Table to be created for each question (which is not acceptable) or for this table to be created with a formula instead (
update:
=INDEX({"", "Strongly Disagree", "Disagree", "Neutral", "Agree", "Strongly Agree";
SORT(FLATTEN(A1:C1)), QUERY(QUERY(SPLIT({FLATTEN(A2:C&"×"&A1:C1&"×"&D2:D);
{"Strongly Disagree"; "Disagree"; "Neutral"; "Agree"; "Strongly Agree"}&"×'×"&
IF(G1="", 1, G1)}, "×"),
"select count(Col2) where Col3 is not null "&
IF(G1="",," and Col3 >="&G1)&
IF(G2="",," and Col3 <="&G2)&
"group by Col2 pivot Col1", ),
"select Col5,Col2,Col3,Col1,Col4 offset 2", )*1})
