This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I would like to show a View of posts and calculate the total number of posts with each custom field value, like the results of a survey.
Solution: There's nothing built-in to Views that will calculate the total number of posts with a specific custom field value on-the-fly, so the display you described must be built out piece by piece using Views and Views shortcodes. You could use multiple filtered Views to achieve something similar. For example:
- View of submissions filtered by custom field "Question 1", answer "Yes"
- Use the wpv-found-count shortcode to output the number of submissions.
- View of submissions filtered by custom field "Question 1", answer "No"
- Use the wpv-found-count shortcode to output the number of submissions.
- View of submissions filtered by custom field "Question 1", answer "I don't know"
- Use the wpv-found-count shortcode to output the number of submissions.
- A second View of submissions filtered by custom field "Question 1", answer "No"
- In the loop output editor, display the "reason" free-response field
...and so on for each question.
