Export ODK data to Statistical software (SPSS, STATA, etc) for data validation. What does the community uses for validation in ODK

Hi,

I know this is not implemented, but I want to know what does the ODK
community uses, and if any of ODK devs is reading, whether there is any
plan for implementing such feature because I believe it is vital (and I
know it is hard work).

Data validation is a crucial part of our process but with ODK we are
struggling becuase ODK exports just the values in CSV, and not value
labels, questions, and form logic which then can be reused to perform data
validation and
*then EDIT *the data/answers that are incorrect (after doing the data
validation process). In ODK's CSV this is difficult to perform because even
if know where the error is, you dont have the formatted questionnaire in
front of you to make a judgement.

They tell me, CSPro does this (but cannot use, because ODK is much better
in other things (Aggregate / ODK Collect / Enketo / Open Source)..

Perhaps, showing the submitted questionnaires with ENKETO would be a nice
start?

Best,
piq

Hi Piq,

Our team at Nafundi has a codebook generator that you can use while
doing your analysis. It generates a PDF with the variable names,
question text, choices, etc. It's free and you can find it at
http://nafundi.com/blog/posts/nafundi-and-task-force-release-codebook-generator-for-odk.

Another option is odkmeta from Innovations for Poverty Action. It
writes a do-file to import ODK data to Stata, using the metadata from
the survey and choices worksheets of the XLSForm. More at
https://github.com/matthew-white/odkmeta.

The core team relies on the community to build tools like these that
connect to ODK. If this a pain point that existing tools don't solve,
perhaps your organization can help build it...

Hi Yaw,

Thanks a lot for these; they seem helpful. I'll see what I can do.
