Define Respondent Groups

Respondent groups are used to group respondents by certain criteria and use these groups in Advanced Crosstab tables, calculating Share and Significances.

To group your respondents you need to select the 'Define respondent groups' option from the 'More Actions' drop-down box on the Report Items page, and then:

1. Click the New group button to create a new group of respondents.
2. Use the 'Group name' text box to enter a name for your group.
3. Use the 'Edit description' text box to enter information about the group.
4. Select the 'Primary' option to add primary details to your summary report such as number of respondents included into the group and their percentage.
   Note this option is displayed along with 'Significances' or 'Share Calculation' features only.
5. Define group members using logic expressions:
   Only these logic operators are allowed:

   • Operator AND denotes that all the combined logic conditions are fulfilled.
   • Operator OR denotes that at least one of the combined logic conditions is fulfilled.
   • Operator NOT denotes that a logic condition is not fulfilled. You can put it at the beginning of a logic condition or after AND, OR operators.
   • You can use AND, OR, NOT operators in the same logic expression simultaneously. Use parentheses to make your logic unambiguous.

   Valid symbols in logic expressions

   Valid symbols	Examples
   Letters: Q, A, C	Q1, Q1.C4, Q2.A3
   Numbers: 1-9, 10 - more	Q9, Q23.A5
   Dots: ...	Q3.A5.C7
   Operators: AND(=&&), OR (=||), NOT (=!)	Q3.A1 AND Q3.A3, Q7.A3.C1 OR Q7.A3.C2, NOT Q2.A1
   Parentheses: ()	(Q1 AND Q3.A2) OR (Q5.A1 AND Q5.A3)

   For Example:
   Q1.A2 AND (Q3.A5 OR Q4.A1) means that your group will include only those respondents who selected both answer 2 in question 1 and either answer 5 in question 3 or answer 1 in question 4.
   Note that '3D Matrix' and 'Rate Different along the scale of your choice' question types are specified as Q1.A2.C3 (it means that answer 2 is selected in column 3 in question 1).
   It is not possible to define respondent groups based on the text responses.

6. Click the Save button to save your group. Then you will see your group with description in the list of groups.

Click e next to the group you need to modify.
Click x next to the group you need to delete.
