    Asked on April 24, 2015 at 12:51 PM

    My form have multiple questions (registrations for different events) and I would like to organize the output by question. Right now I can only see each person and which questions they endorsed. In order to get a tally of how many people answered each question i would need to print it out or save it and enter it all in by hand. 

    Any help would be appreciated.
