Feedback: Please visualize multiple choice questions in a barchart instead of pie chart.
When using MS Forms for surveys, I was surprised that the answers to multiple-choice questions are visualized as a pie chart. This is not an appropriate visualization for this type of question and is very misleading - therefore, it is not used by default in similar tools.
To explain the problem, let's take for example the following data
Participant_ID | Choices |
1 | [A;B;C;D] |
2 | [A;B;D] |
3 | [A;C;E] |
By Default, MS-Forms visualizes this in a pie chart which would look as follows:
A:30%; B:20%; C:20%; D:20%; E:10%.
This is very misleading, since 100% of respondents chose A, 66% chose B,C,D and 33% chose E.
For this reason, other survey tools visualize MultipleChoice Questions as Barchart, with one bar for each option.
E.g. in this case 5 bars:
A : 100% of respondents
B : 66% of respondents
C : 66% of respondents
D : 66% of respondents
E : 33% of respondents.
It would be great, if MS Forms could do this to - because the current pie-chart is not helpful and misleading.
I am sharing my feedback here, since the "feedback" option is greyed out.
If anyone can forward this to the product team, I would be very thankful 😊
