@David.R.97 Hi David, I created a video to show our instructors how to pivot survey results from Likert questions in Excel to get the data in a better format. You'll need to clean the data first to get rid of the UnChecked 0 rows and repeat the User number at the beginning of each row, then you can do a PivotTable. You should be able to use many of the steps in the video even though you are using different question types in your survey.

Hi @David.R.97 - As a first step - I'd suggest checking out the Survey Results Advanced Data set to see if this gets you on the right track:
This should get you started with the results regarding how the surveys are organized. The results you are looking for are certainly very specific to your organization and if you'd like D2L to assist in building something out for your organization we certainly have our Learning Analytics offering that can assist with that for you. Please contact your client sales executive and they can help you out with more information.
We generally provide all the information to allow people to consolidate the information in a manner that best fits their organization's needs.
I found this link via Google that might be of assistance.
If you want to do something on your own, I'd suggest using a combination of the advanced data set with Pivot tables for small-scale use and that hopefully can get your data combined in a manner that might be a bit more consumable.
Appreciate it's a bit of information overload, but designed to be that way for allowing the data folks dig deep into the information.
Let me know if you have additional questions — Bruce
