I've updated Soundings, my ColdFusion Survey application, with some minor bug fixes and a major performance change. The details are below:
- Charting would drop labels if too many answers were present. For more information, see this blog entry.
- Matrix questions would chart their answers and items in random order. Now they maintain the order you set when designing the question.
- Excel reporting was super slow. I mean - very, very, very slow. It should now be significantly faster.
As always, you can download the application from the project page. If you find the application useful, please visit my wish list.

I've just about given up on Excel reporting. So many quirks and glitches it seems. I do most reports in CSV now. I once had a ton of data disappear from an excel report because some comments had a < in them...It rendered fine in the browser, but excel just cut everthing after the <.
Is the latest Soundings geared toward CFMX 7? Everything seems to run OK on 6.1 except for the stats.
Anyone have a stats.cfm file hacked up for 6.1?
Jim
I have a slightly newer version which I think fixes it. Unfortunately I "lost" my 6.1 install. If you want to best test it on cfmx6, that's fine by me. Just please email me later in the week as I'm in Aspen right now. The upgrade also fixes a fix other things, and removes the need for mappings from the app.
Aspen! Just ignore me and enjoy yourself! :)
So far I've stripped out the cftimer and the styles attribute in the cfcharts and it seems to work...
Jim
The cftimer was a mistake, and the style thing should work in 6/7 in my local version. I basically moved the 7 code to an include so it won't throw an error in 6.
It looks like in ver. 1.4 that the stats for a multiple choice single selection is broken. It gives the legend, but no chart appears.
If you could send me your data, I can check. I'm working on a new rev that fixes muiltiple issues. It also (tada!) removes the need for a CF mapping.
