How to view your survey results as a table, question by question

A bar chart communicates fast, but when you need to cite an exact number in a report, or compare two percentages precisely, a chart forces you to eyeball it. SurvIQ adds two new ways to view results that solve this: a per-question table, and a browser for reviewing each completed survey response one at a time.

Per-question table, available in simple mode

Every results widget in simple mode already had a chart-type selector (bar, pie, gauge, depending on the question). Now "Table" is one more option in that same selector: the same question shown as a chart can be shown as a table with the exact count and percentage for each option, without building anything manually in advanced mode.

Works for almost every question type

The table view is available for single- and multiple-choice questions, NPS, scales (rating, likert, slider, number), constant sum, and matrix questions. The only exceptions are short text and long text, where a count or percentage doesn't make sense — those questions already show as a list of answers.

Individual responses: one full survey at a time

The second new view is different: instead of aggregating everyone's data, it shows one complete response at a time, with all of its questions and answers together, plus buttons to move to the previous or next one. It's the useful view when the goal is reading a specific person's full context — something an aggregated chart can't show.

Where to find them

Both live alongside the simple and advanced modes that already existed, now organized as three tabs at the top of the results: Simple, Advanced, and Responses. Switching between them doesn't lose any work — each one shows the same data from a different angle.

When each view makes sense

  • Chart (simple mode): for a quick, presentable overview, ideal for sharing a visual summary.
  • Table: when you need the exact number — to cite in a report, or to compare values precisely.
  • Individual responses: to read a specific person's full context, or to review open-text answers in their original context.
  • Advanced mode: for more complex cross-tabs and filters between questions, or to export everything to CSV.
