The button is used to create a .xlsx file (readable in Excel) with four sections:
- Datagrid
- Calculated
- Instructions
- The Math Explained
Datagrid for All Participants:
The Datagrid for All Participants (see below) contains the:
The Calculated sheet is similar to the Datagrid sheet but shows the ratio scale priorities derived from the specific measurement types of Pairwise, Ratings, Utility Curves and Step Functions:
The Instructions sheet displays instructions you can follow when working with Datagrid:
Datagrid for One of the Participants:
The Datagrid for one of the participants (in this case, the John Doe) is:
Since John Doe is the only participant with judgments/data, it looks the same as the Datagrid for "All Participants."
However, when we download the Datagrid for the John Doe, we see a difference in the Datagrid tab of the spreadsheet:
The difference is that Ratings are shown as they were input by the participant; in this case, Very Good, Good to Very Good, and Moderate for the three alternatives respectively.
The Utility Curve and Step Function data are also displayed instead of the priorities.
