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.
