Charting Survey Results with MarketSight

Once the analysis is complete and the stat tests are all run, it’s time to present your findings in a way that visually conveys the key findings. Charting Survey Results is often a time-consuming and tedious part of the analysis and reporting for many market research projects. It can be particularly challenging for large tracking studies with many charts that have regularly updated data but are essentially the same format.

Wouldn’t it be easier to create your charts once, export them whenever you want onto any one of several custom PowerPoint templates that you design, and refresh them all at once, automatically, whenever the data is updated?

We think that’s the way it should be done. With MarketSight, charting survey results is much easier than with any other analysis and reporting tool because your charts are all saved and you can export them directly, as native PowerPoint charts, to any PowerPoint template. You can upload as many templates as you want; you simply choose the template you want when you export your charts from MarketSight.

And, best of all, when you add new data to an existing dataset in MarketSight, as with a tracking study or the case where you have preliminary and final data, MarketSight automatically updates every crosstab and chart so all you need to do is click export to get a completely updated slide deck on your PowerPoint template.

You can also copy crosstabs and charts from one dataset to another to save time with analysis and reporting on datasets with common variables. Charting survey results doesn’t get any easier than that!
