What This Calculator Tells You
This tool gives you a fast first read of survey results without building a pivot table. Put each question on its own line followed by its answers, and it summarizes every question: the average for numeric answers (like 1–5 ratings) and a count of each answer for text responses (like Yes/No or multiple choice).
It is designed for quick checks on small and medium surveys, and everything is processed in your browser.
What to Enter
- CSV of responses — one line per question. The first value is the question label; the rest are the answers, separated by commas. For example: Q1,Yes,No,Yes,Yes,No or Satisfaction,5,4,5,3,4. If your survey tool exports one row per respondent, transpose the sheet (rows to columns) first.
Worked Examples
1. A yes/no question
Recommend,Yes,No,Yes,Yes,No,Yes,Yes,Yes
- Output: Yes 6, No 2 — 75% would recommend.
2. A 1–5 rating
Satisfaction,5,4,5,3,4,2,5,4
- Output: mean 4.00, n = 8.
3. Multiple choice
Channel,Google,Instagram,Google,Friend,Google,Instagram
- Output: Google 3, Instagram 2, Friend 1 — Google is the leading discovery channel in this sample.
How to Read Your Result
- Numeric questions show the mean and number of answers; look at the distribution too, because a 3.0 average can hide a split between 1s and 5s.
- Text questions show a count per answer; divide by the total to get percentages.
- Small samples carry large uncertainty — check the margin of error before reporting percentages.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Inconsistent spelling (Yes, yes, Y) is counted as different answers; standardize first.
- Commas inside open-text answers split them into extra answers. Use this for closed questions.
- Mixing numbers and text in one question (e.g. 5 and 'N/A') turns it into a text count.
- Blank answers count as an empty response; remove them if they mean 'skipped'.
