How to create an Individual vs Group report

An Individual vs Group report lets you compare how one person's answers compare to those of a group. This report type brings together the Individual and the group report types. This means that you can create a report to see at a glance how an individual's response stands against those of a specific group of your choice.

The toggle buttons provide additional options to refine your formulas. More specifically:

  • Use Rounded Numbers: This toggle allows you to round the results to whole numbers for a cleaner presentation.
  • Include Multiple Responses in Formula Calculation: Enabling this toggle allows you to aggregate data, create group reports, and calculate averages based on multiple responses.
  • Recalculate Formula on Report Generation: When the report is requested, this setting triggers a recalculation of the formula in the backend. This ensures that responses meeting the filter criteria are accurately accounted for, providing access to the most recent data. This feature is useful when using a formula with a variable that can change over time such as response count. Note that this feature is available on request.
  • Apply Predefined Filter When Requesting Report: Enabling this toggle is necessary in order to create predefined filters in your PDF. 

If you create a custom filter, you will only calculate the scores for those respondents who meet the filter condition.

When you create the formulas for the individuals, you can activate the Apply Predefined Filter When Requesting Report toggle, so that you can use predefined filters. However, you don't need to activate the Recalculate Formula on Report Generation toggle.
