Generate a summary table for every variable set in the data set (excluding any that are marked as hidden)
This QScript generates a summary table for every question in the data file (excluding any that are marked as hidden).
Example
How to apply this QScript
- Start typing the name of the QScript into the Search features and data box in the top right of the Q window.
- Click on the QScript when it appears in the QScripts and Rules section of the search results.
OR
- Select Automate > Browse Online Library.
- Select this QScript from the list.
Customizing the QScript
This QScript is written in JavaScript and can be customized by copying and modifying the JavaScript.
Customizing QScripts in Q4.11 and more recent versions
- Start typing the name of the QScript into the Search features and data box in the top right of the Q window.
- Hover your mouse over the QScript when it appears in the QScripts and Rules section of the search results.
- Press Edit a Copy (bottom-left corner of the preview).
- Modify the JavaScript (see QScripts for more detail on this).
- Either:
- Run the QScript, by pressing the blue triangle button.
- Save the QScript and run it at a later time, using Automate > Run QScript (Macro) from File.
Customizing QScripts in older versions
JavaScript
// also imports QScript Utility Functions for inDisplayr
includeWeb("QScript Selection Functions");
includeWeb("QScript Functions to Generate Outputs");
const is_displayr = inDisplayr();
const data_file = requestOneDataFileFromProject(true);
// From here a user will have selected a file or only have one possible file in the document.
let questions = data_file.questions.filter(q => !q.isHidden).map(q => ({
primary: q, secondary: (/^Text/.test(q.questionType) ? "RAW DATA" : "SUMMARY")
}));
let page_names = questions.map(q => q.primary.name);
let report = createReport("Summary Tables", questions, page_names,
null, null, [], false, Infinity, false, false);
report.subItems.forEach(addStatsToTable);
if (!is_displayr)
conditionallyEmptyLog('A group of summary tables has been added to the project');
function addStatsToTable(page) {
let table = page.type === "Table" ? page : page.subItems.filter(i => i.type === "Table")[0];
if (table == null)
return;
let cell_stats = table.cellStatistics;
let column_stats = table.columnStatistics;
let row_stats = table.rowStatistics;
const qtype = table.primary.questionType;
if (["Pick One", "Pick Any", "Pick Any - Compact"].includes(qtype)) {
cell_stats.push("n");
cell_stats.push("Base n");
table.cellStatistics = cell_stats;
}
else if (["Ranking", "Experiment", "Number", "Number - Multi"].includes(qtype)) {
cell_stats.push("Base n");
table.cellStatistics = cell_stats;
}
else if (["Pick One - Multi", "Pick Any - Grid", "Number - Grid"].includes(qtype)) {
row_stats.push("Row n");
column_stats.push("Column n");
table.rowStatistics = row_stats;
table.columnStatistics = column_stats;
}
return;
}
