QuestionPro - Research Access Forums

In my own survey, I have put in two open-ended numerical questions ("How many times have you been to theatre in the past 12 months" etc). Now they have become "text" and I cannot do any segmentation/ group with that. Is there anyway I can get around it? I would like to find out the opinions between the frequent theatre goers and the occasional / non-goers on my set of questions.

And idea?

I think a better way of positioning the question would have been to make it closed ended (Drop Down list of values) - This would have made the question a Multiple Choice (Closed Ended) question vs. an open ended text question.

Segmentation and numeric analysis can be performed only on closed ended questions.

At this point (if you've already collected the data) there is nothing much we can do. If you are still in the process of collecting data, then you can change add a new question and delete the open ended question off.
