Feedback Analysis: Percentage for each answer for each question; mean and mode

Hi. I'm using feedback for student evaluations of courses and instructors. It works fine, but we want to know what percentage of responders chose each answer for each question. Moodle can give us the raw numbers (i.e. 45 people chose answer A on question 3), but we're looking for percentage and also mean, mode, and standard deviation. Right now, we're exporting to Excel and using a macro to calculate this, but has anyone written an add on for this to be done within Moodle's analysis of feedback responses?

Thanks in advance for the help.

This is the right thing to do. By using your own spreadsheet (or stats package) you are sure to process the data output by feedback exactly the way you want. Not only can you do all the calculations you need but you can output the results to any pie-chart you need.

Making the equivalent processing available in the Feedback module itself would take a lot of programing time and ... then end-user would probably never be satisfied.
