Hi all,

I am hoping someone can advise me on how to set up my pivot table please?

This isn't the best way of setting up feedback analysis I am very sure, but I need to work with what I've got! I have survey results from students who have done a variety of modules for their courses and submit a feedback survey at the end of each module - the tricky bit to analysis is the free text question and that's what I am stuck on here. I have been going through reading each entry and if it mentions something about one of the key categories I put Yes in the column for that category and if the entry doesn't then I type No. Here is a shortened example (mine is obviously much bigger than this and has nearly 1,800 survey responses and 10 different categories):
CourseModuleCommentSentimentNavigation/DesignActivities/ContentLive Sessions/VideosGroupworkReading List
Cats101abc1Blah blahPositiveNoYesNoNoNo
Cats102def1Blah blahMixedNoNoYesYesYes
Cats103ghi1Blah blahPositiveYesNoYesYesNo
Cats102def1Blah blahMixedNoYesYesYesYes
Cats101abc1Blah blahMixedNoNoNoNoNo
Cats102def1Blah blahNegativeNoNoYesNoYes
Cats101abc4Blah blahPositiveYesYesYesNoYes
Cats101abc7Blah blahMixedNoYesYesYesNo

I then have a pivot table connected to it. As you can from the attached images I can't get the combinations right on the pivot table!

What I am TRYING (and failing so far!) to show is to count the number of Yes's and No's for each category for each module/course. So, ideally, I would have Course and Module in the Rows, then the categories (Navigation/Design, Activities/Content, etc...) along the top and any of the following:
  • each category column broken down into two - Yes and No, with a count of each ) (my preferred option)
  • each category column showing just the Yes count (if above option isn't possible!)
Any ideas you wonderful people - PLEASE!!!!

Thanks SO much,
Cathy ?

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
You might want to update your profile to say what version of Excel you are using.
If you have Power Query and are interested in using that, then it is only a couple of steps to transform what you have into a format that works for pivot tables.

eg.

Produce this M Code
Power Query:
[CODE=pq]
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="tblData"]}[Content],
    #"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(Source, {"Course", "Module", "Comment", "Sentiment"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Unpivoted Columns",{{"Course", type text}, {"Module", type text}, {"Comment", type text}, {"Sentiment", type text}, {"Attribute", type text}, {"Value", type text}})
in
    #"Changed Type"
[/CODE]

And this table:
