@cdorin, I introduced that feature for the 5pt scale questions about 10 years ago. The goal is to sum up items 1+2 and 4+5 because when analyzing data of such rating questions these answers are often grouped like "X percent LIKE" and "Y percent DISlike" item ABC. The numbers look correct to me : |

@Mazi, that's fantastic. Now I can finally understand those numbers :D Isn't the column name, sum, a bit misleading? |
|
|
@cdorin, I agree, I think back then it was originally named "Aggregated values". Feel free to adjust this as it makes sense. |

|
@cdorin, please close this one once you updated the documentation. Thanks! |
