31 Rotate Rows

What Is It?

The Rotate Rows property allows for the answer codes in the rows of a Grid to be presented in rotated order to survey respondents. When rotated, answers will always appear in sequential order, however the start point will differ between survey respondents. If you want the order of answer codes to be presented in non-sequential order, use Randomize Rows instead.

How Do I Use This?

To enable answer rotation, you will need to check the Rotate Rows box in the Properties Pane, then set the Start Rotation Row and End Rotation Rown answers in the property fields below the Rotate Rows box.

For further information on rotation, see Rotation.

Examples of use

If, for example, you wish to rotate the presentation of the following codes, so that a different day of the week is displayed first for each survey respondent, you must firstly check the Rotate Rows box and then select ‘1. Monday’ in the Start Rotation Row field, and ‘7. Sunday’ in the End Rotation Row field.

1. Monday
2. Tuesday
3. Wednesday
4. Thursday
5. Friday
6. Saturday
7. Sunday
