Validate before reporting

  • Distinguish questionnaires, question answers, matrix cells, and revision events.
  • Verify whether non-ratings or blank values are present and how they are represented.
  • Check the correct round and whether answers were copied forward.
  • Keep the question wording, choice order, scale direction, and consensus configuration with the export.
  • Review identifying columns and free text before sharing.

If an export is too large

Try a smaller question selection or a specific round, then export in manageable parts. The documented grid-copy workaround can omit column headings, so add and verify headings if you use it. Contact Calibrum with the report name and selection if exports continue to fail.

Quick Overview is a visual HTML report rather than a standard data-grid export. Keep the structured response and consensus datasets alongside any copied visual summary.

Let's run the report for a few quantitative questions. In the first example, the Neutral choice is highlighted with green background indicating that the Neutral choice is the choice of consensus and its stability value has reached the required stability threshold, hence a consensus is established.

Common questions

Why is a column missing from the export grid?

The guide documents that columns with no data across all displayed rows can be hidden. Check the selected dataset and the expected fields before concluding data is missing.

Can I export only one row or column of a matrix through the question selector?

The documented question selector selects the whole matrix question. Export it and filter the intended row or column in your analysis workflow, preserving the identifiers.
