Calculating Totals/Averages | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hello, I have created a small survey to collect peer ratings from students.

User: As the image above shows:
Q1: Asks a student to select his/her name out of 5 students - as the Rater:
Student 1; Student 2; Student 3; Student 4; Student 5.
Q1.1: The selected student (e.g., Student 1) will rate Student 2, Student 3, Student 4 and Student 5, based on 4 likert-scaled questions:
-- Student contributed meaningfully to tasks: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.
-- Student did their share of the work: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.
-- Student paid much attention: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.
-- Student was willing to listen: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.

At the end of the survey, I need to calculate the average score each student received over all 4 questions by all 4 of his/peers. So for example, if Student 1 is rated 4 across all questions, by each of his/her 4 peers, we should have a total score, calculated as follows:
Student 1 Ratings: (Student 2: (4*4) = 16) + (Student 3: (4*4) = 16) + (Student 4: (4*4) = 16) = 48. Average = (48/3) = 16
I have been trying to export the data to Excel, but it takes so much time to clean it up.
Is it possible to calculate the total scores and average for each rated student in Qualtrics?
I am attaching a copy of the survey, in case it is helpful:

Thanks in advance for your assistance, PS

I think you can use the Qualtrics Scoring feature and with some Math operation in survey flow will help to achieve above requirement. Here is the Qualtrics scoring support page : https://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/survey-module/survey-tools/scoring/
