Solved – Correct graph visualization for multiple-choice questions

categorical datadata visualizationsurvey

I'm working on a questionnaire with some multiple choice questions.

Example: Which continents are you planning to visit?

  1. Africa
  2. Asia
  3. etc.

The next will be to refactor the current analytics that are a mix of bars and pies charts, that should be used by non-expert (so they must be kept simple).

Right now the graphs are showing the total number of answered questionnaires with percentages and numbers that don't make much sense (e.g. of 10 questionnaire 7 want to go to Africa and 5 to Asia).

So, how is it possible to tackle this conceptual problem?

A simple way to visualize would be through a bar chart where the y axis shows the number of times an answer was cited.
