PIAAC - Numeracy and Language??????????


I keep trying to crack this data explorer.  It is taking me about 20-30 minutes to get one graph out.  Half the problem is knowing all the possible variables.

I am surprised at the significance for this question/

Those who reported more than one language and numeracy results.
