Crosstab Software

Analyze Data from any Survey with MarketSight's Crosstab Software

Crosstab software is used to analyze survey data. Crosstabs are essentially tables of numbers that allow you to compare responses to different survey questions by different groups of people. There are several different types of crosstab software from which to choose, ranging from the very simplest of tools included with many survey packages to traditional applications used by PhDs in research to conduct complex analyses for very specific purposes.

There are also several different installation options available for crosstab software, including tools that you install on your personal computer for your individual use; tools that sit on a server at your office that must be maintained and administered by your corporate IT Dept; and also tools that are available directly from the web that you access with a user ID and password that also enable you to share access and collaborate with other users.

The key is to find the right Crosstab Software for your specific needs.

I currently have to pay my crosstab software vendor to prep my datasets before they can be loaded into their tool. This often takes several days to be completed. Is this how MarketSight works or can I load the data myself?
With MarketSight, you upload the data directly to MarketSight yourself. MarketSight supports all the leading market research data formats including, SPSS, SAS, Excel, Triple-S, and SurveyMonkey. You never have to wait and you can do it all yourself.

Is there a limit to how many datasets I can upload to my MarketSight account?
There is no limit on the number of datasets you can upload to the MarketSight crosstab software. There are limits in place for the total amount of storage available with each account, but those limits are quite high and are rarely exceeded. If you ever need more space, the cost is very reasonable.

In addition to crosstabs, does MarketSight enable you to view response data?
Yes, all responses can be viewed in Data Tables. You can show some or all of the survey questions and you can include responses from some or all of the respondents. Data Tables can be created instantly by drilling down from a crosstab or they can be designed separately. Data Tables can also be exported directly to Excel.

How many users can I have in a single MarketSight Account?
There’s no limit to the number of user IDs you can purchase for a single account. Some clients have only one, whereas others have hundreds. It all depends on the size of your organization and the number of people who need to interact with your research data.

Does MarketSight support dates and times?
Yes.
