Standard Report: Diverging Stacked Bar Chart
The Diverging Stacked Bar Chart is used to report on Drag & Drop Ranking questions and Ranking Grid questions.
The table will include a row for each item in your Drag & Drop Ranking question. Each item will have a Rank, Distribution, Score, and No. of Rankings.
- The Rank is assigned by the Score.
- The Score is a weighted calculation. Check out our How is the Score Computed Tutorial to learn more.
- The No. of Rankings is the number of respondents that ranked that item. This can vary if the question is not required or you are limiting the number of items to be ranked.
- Finally, the Distribution is a diverging stacked bar where a shade is assigned to each possible rank (which usually corresponds to the number of items unless you are limiting the number of items to be ranked). At the midpoint, the color of the sections of the bar changes to help you to see where preference starts to fall off for each item. The width of each section is determined by the number of times that option assigned that rank.

@Janice,
You can change these via our Text & Translations tool. To do so, go to the survey in question and click Tools > Text & Translations. Select the language for which you wish to change the text of these fields and then go to the reports tab. Then simply search for each phrase and click edit to change the text.
I hope this helps!

When downloading this report to Word or PPT, the headings change to overall rank, item, rank distribution, score and total respondents. Is there a way to change this in the actual report prior to downloading it?

@Liz: I was able to get the diverging stacked bar chart to download to PDF though not for Word or Power Point.
I'm not surprised that this is not downloading to Word or Power Point as it is a custom chart that might not be compatible with Office. I will check with our development team to see if this can be included in Word and Power Point downloads!

I like the look of this chart; however, when I download the report, the distribution column is missing. How can I get it to show?
