32 Start Rotation Row

What Is It?

The Rotate Rows property allows for the answer codes in rows of a Grid question 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. The Start Rotation Row and End Rotation Row properties allow you to specify the first and last code in the group that you wish to be rotated.

How Do I Use This?

Select the first answer code that you wish to be rotated using the drop-down box in the Properties Pane. All answer codes between the selected Start Rotation Row and End Rotation Row answers will be rotated as a group. Answers will only be rotated if the Rotate Rows checkbox is also checked.

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
