    Chart making from excel file with multiple answers per question

    Hi All, Question Social Media.xlsx

    I would like to use some help in regards to below:

    - I would like to use the results from the enclosed file to make a graph with the results.
    However, multiple options are possible regarding this questions. As you can see, people answered 'Facebook' (1 answer) but also 'Facebook, Pinterest,Instagram' (multiple answers - all written in 1 cell)

    How am I possible to get a graph with the numer of choices per social media? If I go for recommended graphs it says there is none available, as it sees 'Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook' as 1 result and not 3 choices.

    I use Excel 2013 and hope you can help me

    Tommy

    You need to split the multiple options so that they are individual. Presumably, you have a unique ID for each participant? You could use Text to Columns as a starting point, then pivot the data - you should be able to get the Power Query add-in for Excel 2013. Please update your profile to show your cirrent version of Excel.

    Thank you AliGW,

    I will try it in that way. I do have an unique ID for each participant indeed.

    Will work on it tomorrow.
