Group or Hide Answer Results

Group or hide answer choices in the chart for a close-ended question type.

Group Answer Options

1. Go to the Quick Report of your survey, form, or quiz.
2. Find the chart you want to group answer results for.
3. Click one of the answer choices (either the segment in the chart, or its percentage/label beneath it) you want to be in the group.
4. Select Group with other answers from the menu that appears (this menu also offers Edit Label and Hide this option).
5. In the Answer data grouping dialog, tick the boxes for the other answer options you wish to combine with the one you clicked.
6. Edit the Label field to describe the new grouped answer.
7. Click Save.

Your chart results will then be recalculated to represent all grouped answer choices as one result. To disable the group and count all answers separately again, click the grouped answer option and select Ungroup these answers.

Caution

At the time of writing, the Save button in the Answer data grouping dialog can remain disabled even once a label is filled in and answer options are ticked. If this happens, your grouping won’t be saved — get in touch via the Chat box if you run into this.

Hide Answer Options

1. Go to the Quick Report.
2. Find the chart you want to hide answer results from.
3. Click the answer choice you wish to hide.
4. Select Hide this option.

Your results will then be recalculated to ignore all the data for that answer option, and a note appears under the chart: “There are hidden answer options on this element, show hidden answers.” Click show hidden answers to bring the option back into the chart.

Note

Grouping or hiding answers on the Quick Report is a live edit, not an automatic save. A Save your changes prompt appears in the corner after you make a change — click Save Changes to keep it as a new report, or Ignore to discard it and leave your original report untouched.

Note: Grouping or hiding answer choices changes your charts’ display but does not affect the raw data of your results.
