Visually clear tables

Quick insights from every survey:

  • Coloured significant values – clearer subgroup differences.
  • Compact presentation of scale questions – easier comparisons.
  • Indexes / dimensions – question-area averages from all your grid questions.
  • Percentages and counts – both are presented.
  • Separate files – per country or department, if needed.

Significance testing

As strict and detailed as you need

Choose exactly how strict, and how detailed, your significance testing should be:

  • Confidence level – choose 90%, 95% or 99% significance testing.
  • Flexible comparisons – test against the total, a previous study or other groups.
  • Coloured arrows – highlight differences compared to the total at a glance.
  • Margin of error – show or hide it, whichever your report needs.
Four measures for every Likert scale

Scale questions

Four measures for every Likert scale

There are many ways to present Likert-scale data. Our Excel cross-tabs always give you four measures, so you can choose the one you prefer:

  • Top 2 Box score (T2B) – percent positive.
  • Bottom box – percent negative.
  • Average
  • 0–100 average

Cross-tabs FAQ

What are cross-tabs?

Cross-tabulations, commonly known as cross-tabs, analyse categorical variables – distinct categories or groups such as gender, age groups, product types or regions.

The output is a table showing the frequencies, counts, averages or other measures of observations that fall into each combination of categories, organised in rows and columns.

What are the benefits of working with cross-tabs?

Cross-tabs are a powerful way to analyse differences between groups. They organise and interpret data comprehensively, revealing patterns, trends and associations.

How do significance tests work in cross-tabs?

Significance tests show whether differences between groups are statistically significant or could have occurred by chance.

Testing a sample proportion answers whether a breakdown column is significantly greater or smaller than the total (one-tailed test). Colouring cells that are significantly higher or lower than the total makes them easy to spot.

Our standard significance level is 0.05 (5%), the most commonly used level: a 5% (1 in 20) chance of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true (a Type I error). Other common levels are 0.01 (1%), with a lower risk of Type I errors, and 0.1 (10%), with a lower risk of Type II errors.
