How to Split Grids by Rows or Columns in Displayr

This article describes how to split grid questions (Binary - Grid and Numeric -  Grid) into new questions that correspond to either the rows or columns of the grid. This is useful when the software has combined a grid automatically when the user has imported their data set, and they either don’t want to analyze it as a grid or they also want to analyze row or column categories separately in addition to analyzing the grid as a whole.

For example, let's say I have this Binary - Grid variable and want to split the column variables (Feminine, Health-conscious, Innocent, etc.) off into new questions.

 

Requirements

A variable set with one of the following structures:

• Binary - Grid
• Numeric - Grid variable 

Method

1. Select the grid variable set you want to split in the Data Sources tree.
2. Click + > Convert To > Binary - Multi > Split Grid by Columns (or Rows).
3. Separate binary - multi variable sets will appear in the Data Sources tree representing each column or row from the original grid variable set.
