Summary: totals in cross-tabs and report do not match

Initial Comment:
Both in version 1.6.1 and version 1.7 just downloaded,
I have different totals when viewing a cross-tabluated
result and a total result.

The crossed totals even have different total values
accross the questions, while the survey totals are
always lower than any crossed survey total.

So, I have a crossed result with a total numbers of
respondents of 1987 and one with 1967 respondents,
while the overall survey has 1952 responses.

How is this possible???

Does phpESP uses only the respondents who completed the
entire survey for the survey results, while using also
respondents who quitted before finishing the survey for
the crossed results??

I desperately need to know this, since I used the
software for quite an important survey.

Thanks!

You can increase the timeout and/or memory limit in the
php.ini on your server, to allow the CSV export to complete.

Well, downloading the data gives a timeout, so I can't use
alternatives either.

And I would like to suggest to reconsider removing this
code, since without this one would need extra (commercial)
software, while phpESP can do it for free right now (but not
completely accurate though....).

A quick view of the source shows that it should be using
only completed surveys for both.  Without looking closely at
your data I can't determine what may be the problem.  It
very well could be a bug in ESP's crosstab code. My advice
would be to export the data out of ESP and run your cross in
a tool more suited to analysis.
FYI, I'm considering removing the cross code for future
releases(unless someone wants to fix/maintain that code) as
ESP should be the very best tool for data collection and
leave the data analysis to sas/spss/excel/etc.
