Nested Tables for Rows


It is possible to create nested tables using rows instead of columns.

Edit Hierarchical Questions


Editing hierarchical question works much the same way as editing any other question in a topline or cross table but you must start in a different place.

.

1. Select the hierarchy question to edit then select Edit hierarchy.
