Crosstabs

Paid feature

Crosstab reports let you choose questions and answer choices to display in a data table for easy comparison across multiple questions. A crosstab displays how many times an answer choice was selected, the percentage of responses, and the total number of responses per answer choice.

If you want to compare two or more answers from a single question, you can use a compare rule. Crosstab reports are best for when you want to compare multiple questions and answer choices all at once.

Creating a Crosstab Report

Crosstab reports can display all of the data from your survey or you can apply a Saved View to break down your survey results even further.

If you edit a Saved View after using it in a crosstab, the settings won't automatically update–you need to recreate your crosstab report.

To create a crosstab:

Go to the Analyze Results section of your survey.
In the Rules section of the left sidebar, click + Compare.
Click Create a crosstab report to open the Crosstab Setup window.
Click the pencil icon p next to the title to rename your crosstab report. By default, your crosstab report's name is the survey title.
In the Views dropdown, select a Saved View. To see all of your data, select Original View.
To limit the answer options you display, click the pencil icon p next to a question.
Drag and drop questions from the left side of the screen into the Rows and Columns sections.
In the lower-right corner of the screen, click Next.
Drag and drop your questions in the Rows or Columns sections to change their display order.
In the lower-right corner of the screen, click Create Crosstab Report.

Available Question Types

You can select the following question types to display in a crosstab: Multiple Choice, Checkboxes, Dropdown, Image Choice. If you're buy responses through SurveyMonkey Audience, you can also use the demographic information in your crosstab report.

Crosstab Limitations

Crosstab reports aren't available for surveys with more than 100 questions.

It's not possible to apply a Saved View that includes Compare or Show rules to a crosstab report.

Crosstabs don't support Combined Filters.

When creating a crosstab, you can add up to 5 questions to the columns, and up to 10 questions to the rows.

If you want to share your results with people, you can publish and share your crosstab report. If your survey is still open and collecting responses, the report will update automatically as more people take your survey.
