Dropdown into Chart

Is there any way to create any type of chart (or see other analytics) based on a “dropdown” field in a form? I can see how the “status” field easily creates beautiful charts that summarize the information… but it seems crazy for there to be zero way to see any summary info based on the “dropdown” data.

For example, we are hiring and have a “dropdown” option on the application form through Monday with options for “how did you hear about us” – where of course people can select multiple. But there seems to be no way to aggregate (even tally?) the # of total responses that include newsletter, website, social media, etc… so I have no way to create any meaningful summary data, it’s just all lost in individual responses.

I’ve been searching all over the forums and can’t figure this out; is it seriously an entire new feature request or is there some solve here? Thank you for any help.

Hello @LizIdeaVillage,
I am part of the Decadis team and our app sumUp for monday might be useful for your requirement. It is possible to select a Dropdown column and calculate the number of times that the options from this column appear with the Group by widget. Other numeric values can be aggregated as well with our widget.
If you are interested in our app and want to know more about it, please, feel free to contact us or visit our documentation.
Best regards,
Vicente

@LizIdeaVillage Another option is the Analytics & Reports by Screenful. With it, you can create charts from Monday data and place the charts on Monday dashboardor schedule to be sent via email. You can learn more about the available charts in the Tour page.
