We have configured one survey to measure customer satisfaction with IT services. The survey has 6 questions: 5 are scored 1-4 and the 6th question is open-ended "comments." I want to produce a report that shows each survey response as a single line-item with both the average of the first 5 questions as well as the comments. How can I do this?
For example:
Survey instance | Question 1 Score | Question 2 Score | Question 3 Score | Question 4 Score | Question 5 Score | Average Score | Comments |
AINST0001 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1.0 | I received really bad service |
AINST0002 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4.0 | Great service? |
AINST0003 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 2 | 3 | 3.0 | <null> |
Comments are given a score of '-1' (I assume this is default behavior) so that's caused me issues and why I usually have to filter the comments separately, but I really want the above and can't figure it out. We have regular reporting and PA available.

Hello Ryan,
Look into using 'Pivot Tables' for this. The table to use is Assessment Instance Question [asmt_assessment_instance_question] (or the legacy Survey Response [survey_response] table, if you're using it).

Hi Cody,
I don't see how a pivottable will show me this information. A pivottable will calculate the average score for me, but not display the individual results or comments.

I spent so much time trying to do this.
We have one question regarding overall satisfaction, I ended up just reporting on that one single question.
I created a separate report for comments - and then another one that showed comments and full scores whenever the overall satisfaction rating was under a certain number, that way we could see the comments associated with the low scores.
