Things to consider

Keep in mind that when making comparisons between figures, some differences seen may not be significant differences and so a degree of caution should be made before making conclusions. This might be because differences between figures are particularly small or because the number of respondents answering for that particular measure or demographic is particularly small.
Categories can be hidden from the chart by clicking the category label on the legend, to deselect it.
