Response to Melissa

Hello, Melissa: My apologies for not seeing this until now. For some reason--and it could be my settings--I do not get notices if a person has posted a comment on Scalar. Most people just email me directly. I am appreciative of your message. I'm not sure if this will actually post, but we'll see.

To run your query as it is, you will need a possibly different data structure. You need one node for Yes on rivalry (with names listed to the yesses). You will need a node for No on rivalry (with names listed to the no's). You will need a node with yes to MOOCs contributing to rivalry; a node with no's linked to MOOCs contributing to rivalry, and maybes linked to MOOCs contributing to rivalry (and names linked to each of these respective stances). Each of your nodes would be lists of names...only. When you have a name that is mentioned on both, the matrix cells will indicate that overlap.

Then, your matrix has to be positioned with the first two nodes on either the rows or the columns, and then the MOOCs data (three nodes) on the other (rows or the columns).

Does this make any sense? I'll double back to see if you left any email. I didn't see any.
