Dealing with Multi check question

[kashif nazeer]

In case of multiple check question the sum of row percentage is exceeding by 100 because for some individuals may have more than one options. is this normal or we can solve it to make 100 percent. In my case i am dealing with benefits which they may get from their employers like sick leave, maternity leave, paid leaves, transportation, clothing etc. so it is possible that an individual is enjoying more than one benefits. so this is making row percentage greater than 100. how can we deal with this.

It is hard to know what your data look like and quite what you are doing with a data example, or the code you used, or a display of results. But I agree that

% of people mentioning or using this

makes more sense in most contexts than what you evidently calculated.

Please see the FAQ Advice for how to show a data example.

Nick i want to calculate what percentage of the worker is getting sick leave, clothing, transportation benefits separately. but in data most of the observations have more than one benefits which makes row percentage greater than 100

obs clothing sick leave transportation
1 clothing transportation
2 sick leave
3 clothing transportation

data in this shape

How are you calculating what you call row percentages? Sorry, but this isn't clear to me without any code.
