Use Data Slicing (View Results by Question)
After receiving response data, TurningPoint can cross-reference the responses of one question to another
set of responses. This function, called data slicing, is particularly useful for analyzing demographic
information. For example, you can find out whether a certain age group in the audience prefers a certain
type of music. By asking participants to identify their age group in one question, and later asking them to
pick their favorite type of music, you use data slicing to find out how many young adults in the crowd
prefer R&B music, how many seniors prefer big-band music, and so on.
Before You Begin
To measure demographic information, insert a question slide early in the presentation that asks the
audience to identify themselves in a demographic category, such as an age group or gender.
To use data slicing…
1 Run the presentation. (From the PowerPoint menu, select View > Slide Show.)
2 Use the arrow keys to go to the primary question slide whose data you want to slice.
For example, to find out whether a certain age group in the audience prefers a certain type of music,
you would go to the question slide that asks participants to select a favorite type of music.
3 From the Showbar, select the Data Slicing button.
The Data Slicing window opens and displays a list of all questions from the interactive slides followed
by their answers.

4 Expand the question that contains the answer whose data you wish to reference in the primary
question slide, and select the answer.
Note
To use demographic information in reports, identify a
slide as a demographic question in the TurningPoint
settings at the slide-level. Set the Demographic
setting to True. Find more information in Response
Device and Settings Management on page 115and
Reports on page 227.
