08 - How to create custom categorical questions for my cross tables

You may create your own custom questions for your cross tables based on the questions and categories you have in your data set. You may also create custom numeric indexes using arithmetic operators.

Follow these steps to create custom categorical questions:

1.Select the “Created questions” tab on the bottom (next to the Dataset questions).

2. Click on create and select Multi Question

3. Create a new question by specifying a categorical question

4. Create the categories by selecting the responses

5. Add filter

6. Add as row

7. Keep the filtered name (in the example below - Text: Region = East OR West) or give the new category a friendly name

8. Give the Custom question an ID and a question text

1. The ID must be one word using only a-z,A-Z,0-9 and underscore
2. The question text can be anything you want.
3. Repeat the above steps until all your categories have been created

9. Add question

From the “Created questions tab” you may now drag the new question into either rows or columns and check that the new custom question has been created correctly

If you need to edit your custom question, simply select the question and click on "Edit".

You may also reorder the categories by simple drag and drop.

Your custom question may also be used as an input question for creating a weight set for your data.
