Reporting Results of 2 poll threads as a DATASET

Is there any way that the poll results of a thread with two polls could be reported as a dataset of each responder rather than just as the number voting for each individual question? For example. If there are two questions, 1 and 2, and three responses to each: 1A, 1B, 1C, and 2A, 2B, 2C, respectively, is there any way to report results for any given voter as, for example, (1A, 2C) rather than just as two independent responses. This would allow the creation of a dataset so that the thread originator could do some interesting analysis of the data should he/she choose to do so. Thanks for reading if you have come this far.

That would be an interesting feature, but Anandtech is not a good place to conduct polls to collect data you actually want to use.

I imagine it would be useless from an accuracy/validity perspective, but it certainly would be interesting.

I don't think they want the polls reporting what each person voted for if that is what you are asking. It is supposed to be anonymous.

Plus, in your case you can construct a single poll which takes all answers from both polls in to account

Poll:
Question 1? X), Y) or Z)
Question 2? A), B) or C)

Answers:
A) and X)
A) and Y)
A) and Z)
B) and X)
B) and Y)
B) and Z)
C) and X)
C) and Y)
C) and Z)

Thanks, thats a good idea, though it would take a while to transcribe the results if there were a lot.
But the dataset idea could still be anonymous as I don't see any reason why it couldn't just report the numbers and not the names.
