The QScript Multivariate - Table of All Combinations Of Pick Any Categories computes the proportion of respondents to select each possible combination of the categories of a Pick Any question.

Technical details

  • This QScript creates a new variable that shows all of the combinations of options that appear in a set of multiple response variables (that is, variables from a Pick Any question). You can select the variables that you want to use from a list of appropriate variables.
  • The categories shown in the output table are created to be mutually exclusive. In the example above, the row 8: Coke & Diet Coke shows respondents that selected both Coke and Diet Coke and no other options.
  • Each combination shown in the table is associated with a number, and these are sorted in ascending order. The absence of a number indicates that the combination of options that is associated with that number has not been selected by any respondent.
  • The new question will not be updated if the underlying variables are changed. If you make changes to the variables that you used, delete this question and run the QScript again. Importantly, this includes the case when you update your Q project with new data.
