Can I Exclude Unfinished Questionnaires From Survey Data?

In the 1KA data and analysis display, by default only the valid units are displayed for analysis; i.e. units with status 5 - partially completed survey and status 6 - fully completed survey.

If you want analyses that only include fully completed surveys, this can be achieved by filtering the data by status:

  1. In the 'DATA' – 'Browse' tab in the top right corner, select the 'Statuses' option in the 'Filters' drop-down list (funnel-shaped icon).
  2. Click the 'New profile' button, enter the profile name and click 'Save'.
  3. Select which statuses you want to include; in your case only 'Completed (6)'.

Data filtering is only available for users of the 2KA and 3KA packages for individuals, and for users of the business packages for groups.

If a unit has a status of 6, it does not mean that the respondent has answered all the questions; it just means that they have reached the end of the survey. For more information, see the manual on response rates.

You can also manually delete surveys that have not been completed to the end by clicking on the trash can icon for the respective survey after enabling the 'Edit' checkbox above the data table in the 'DATA' – 'Browse' tab. However, we do not recommend deleting units, as it is safer to use the default display of only those units that have answered at least one question in the survey (have the status of a valid unit).


Some of the functionalities described are only available for users of the 2KA and 3KA packages for individuals, and for users of the business packages for groups.


1KA is free to use for basic users
