Hi there,
I am looking for a way to rank responses to a survey based on the degree of alignment. I am having trouble coming up with a formula for this. I want to rank the table from most consensus (agreement) to least agreement (divergence) based on a computed score.
Basically, my sheet has four categories (category 1, category 2, category 3, category 4) and 10 questions. Let's assume that 100 people answer the survey.
You can see that most people have put their responses in Category 1, so there are all in agreement (alignment), so this should get a score of 100. In Question 10, people were quite divergent in their opinions, and it's equally distributed across different categories, so this should get a score of 0.
How do I achieve this through a formula?
My objective to understand where people agree and where they don't. I have tried std.dev and other formulas for dispersion, but have not had any luck.
Thanks very much.
