Distribution Calculation for Ranking Questions

 
Under the "Responses" column instead of the actual responses, the "Ranking Score" is displayed for ranking questions.
 
Since the ranking position user selected for a choice is important, we need to include the ranked position of the choice into the final score.
 
For example, let's say we had 4 people ranking as follows:
 
Choice A --> ranked as #1 out of 20 by User VB --> 20pts
Choice A --> ranked as #3 out of 20 by User FG --> 18pts
Choice A --> ranked as #12 out of 20 by User RW --> 9pts
Choice A --> ranked as #19 out of 20 by User ET --> 2pts
 
-----TOTAL: 20 + 18 + 9 + 2 = 49 pts
 
Choice B --> ranked as #6 out of 20 by User VB --> 15pts
Choice B --> ranked as #9 out of 20 by User FG --> 12pts
Choice B --> ranked as #10 out of 20 by User RW --> 11pts
Choice B --> ranked as #17 out of 20 by User ET --> 4pts
 
-----TOTAL: 15 + 12 + 11 + 4 = 42 pts
 
...and so on for the other choices ranked (Choice C, Choice D, etc. all the way to the last 20th choice). The higher the ranking value the more score the choice received.
 
To calculate percentage for a choice, we calculate how much of the maximum available score the choice actually received. Meaning, if all 4 users would've ranked Choice A as #1, then the max score would have been 4x20=80pts (100%), but Choice A only received 49pts out of 80pts, so its percentage is 49/80*100=61.25%.
 
When you are using Majority for Consensus Calculation with Percentage for Group Stability measurement, the choice with the highest Score will be your Choice of Consensus, and its consensus (group) stability will be the Percentage for this choice (using the logic used above).
