Defining recoded categories in data grid and chart widgets with examples. The recoded variable can be reused in other visualizations.
By default, the recoding with the largest number of categories that align with your question gets selected. For instance, if you have a 10-point scale, the default recoding displayed would be the "10 point to 3 point," while the "Standard NPS" recoding won't appear since it needs 11 categories.
The following examples demonstrate how to group NPS categories into the standard groupings of Promoters, Passives, and Detractors in a basic chart using an NPS question as a break by.

Recoding the question
Once you choose the recoding, a new variable with the recoding suffix gets created. In the example, it's called "Recommend_NPS".
The new recoded variable Recommended_NPS
The chart or datagrid should then display the data with the new recoded categories:

Note
Once you perform a recoding, the recoded variable becomes available for reuse in other visualizations. This way, you don't have to repeat these steps to create the recoding in other areas. Instead, you can simply use the newly created recoded question.
