PowerPoint Report: Line Scale Question Results

PowerPoint Report: Line Scale Question Results

Overview

The PowerPoint Report for the Line Scale data provides a visual representation of the responses for each individual Line Scale attribute, for entire Line Scale questions, and across multiple Line Scale questions. Depending on whether the question was set up as a sample related question or a demographic question, you could see means with significant difference lettering and counts (crosstabulations) graphed on separate slides.

On this page you will learn about different graphs available in the PowerPoint report when Line Scale questions are included in the report.


Generate the Report

Generate the PowerPoint report to apply the information in this article to what your test data provides.


Title Slide

All PowerPoint reports have the title slide included regardless of the question types included in the analysis.
  1. Test Name : The name you specified during the test setup in the Overview tab.

  2. Analyst Name and Date : The name of the analyst who created the report, as well as the date the report was generated. 

Test Description

The description that was specified during the test setup in the Overview tab will be on this slide. If the Description box was blank at the time when the report was generated, the Test Description slide will not be included in the report.


If you included Line Scale questions into the analysis that were collecting data on samples, there will be different kinds of graphs included in the PowerPoint report. Here is the list of different slides you might see:
  1. Radar Mean graph across questions.
    If you included multiple Line Scale questions in your analysis regardless of the number of points each scale has, a slide that combines the attributes from all of the Line Scale questions will display a radar mean graph. The slide title will be "Line Scale - Mean Graph". The samples included in the report are listed in the legend.

    In our example screenshot below on the left, we can see that in the Build tab, the Appearance, Aroma, Flavour, and Mouthfeel are all separate Line Scale questions with their own lists of attributes.

    In the graph on the right, we can see that all attributes from all Line Scale questions are included in the graph. Attributes with significant difference between samples have asterisks in curly brackets after their names. Our example screenshot on the right indicates that every attribute has significant difference between samples. We can see that because each attribute name is followed by an asterisk enclosed in round brackets (*).
                                               

    When generating the report you can indicate the Multiple Comparison Test (post-hoc) and ANOVA type you wish to use. You can also specify whether you wish to include the post-hoc lettering in your report all the time, even when there is no significant difference between samples, or only for the attributes in which the p-value indicates significant difference.

    The scales in our example test were all set up as 0-100 point scales. If any of the scales have different number of points, then a footnote will be displayed in the bottom left-hand corner on the slide indicating: "*Multiple scale values shown above".

    The Radar Mean graph across questions slide will be positioned ahead of individual questions' slides, close to the start of the report.

  2. Column Mean graph across questions.
    This graph will generate if you included multiple Line Scale questions in your analysis, and it combines the attributes from all of the Line Scale questions in it, regardless of whether they all had the same number of points or not.

    On the graph, the attributes in which there is a significant difference between samples will be annotated by an asterisk enclosed in round brackets, (*), after their names, along the x-axis. The post-hoc lettering will be displayed above each bar.

    If before generating the report you selected the "Only include in the report if the p-value is significant." option, then the post-hoc lettering will be displayed only for the attributes in which there is significant difference between samples.


    The Column Mean graph across questions slide will be positioned after the Radar mean graph across Line Scale questions, but ahead of all individual question related slides in the report.

  3. Radar Mean graph for each question.
    If your Line Scale question had more than two attributes, a Radar Mean graph will be available for that question. In other words, your Line Scale questions with one or two attributes in them will not have a slide with the radar graph for that question.


    The slide title will include the question name followed by the "- Mean Graph" text.

    The attributes in which there is a significant difference between samples will be annotated by an asterisk enclosed in round brackets (*) after their names.

    The samples included in the report are listed in the legend.


  4. Column Mean graph for each attribute.
    Every Line Scale question that was included in the analysis will have a Column Mean graph slide for every individual attribute from that question. The attributes will be on the x-axis while the counts of their individual selections will be on the y-axis. The slide title includes the question name followed by the "- Mean Graph" text.

     
    The attributes in which there is a significant difference between samples will be annotated by an asterisk enclosed in round brackets (*) after their names. The post-hoc lettering will be displayed above each bar.

    If before generating the report you selected the "Only include in the report if the p-value is significant." option, then the post-hoc lettering will be displayed only for the attributes in which there is significant difference between samples.

    The samples included in the report are listed in the legend.
