Thanks, @yanokwa! One thing that's interesting about exporting to statistical packages like SPSS, Stata, and R is that you can try to export the form metadata in addition to the submission data. For example, odkmeta
imports the submission data CSV files to Stata, using the field names as the Stata variable names. It also attaches field labels as Stata variable labels and notes, imports choice lists as value labels, splits select_multiple
variables, and formats date
, time
, and datetime
fields as Stata date and time variables, among other manipulations. Data analysts can spend a significant amount of time adding that metadata to their data sets, so it can be useful to export it along with the data.
