I needed a quick way to collect data for a pilot study in India - (only 200
observations). While it is clear that Aggregate will be best for the
larger study (~4500 observations - interviews), we did not have time or
know-how to set up the server.
This leaves me with 200 single observation xml files, plus its
corresponding audio-file for open ended responses.My question to the group
is this:
How do I efficiently merge the 200 xml files into one dataset with 200
observations, and then, how do I import the full xml dataset into excel
while preserving the variable names (xml schema)?
My current option is one by one - I know, not smart.
Just so you know who are are working with, I am not a programmer, know
nothing about xml, and basically have excel and STATA to work with. The
good news is, as a non-technically oriented person, I was able to build a
long questionnaire, upload and test on the tablets and smart phones, and
now the data are comming in. Just need some help with this pesky step.
Thanks
Sharon
Hi Sharon,
One option is to use Nafundi's ODK Aggregate VM at
https://gumroad.com/l/odk-aggregate-vm. It is a fully-configured copy
of ODK Aggregate that runs offline and requires virtually no setup.
The alternative is to use ODK Briefcase
(https://opendatakit.org/use/briefcase/) to pull the data from the SD
card of each device and export all 200 records to a single CSV.

I believe this is stated elsewhere...
ODK Briefcase will import XML files provided they are stored in a directory
structure that mimics the structure on the phone, including the form
definition used to create those XML files. Start with a zip off a device
that had an ODK Collect configured with just the form definition of
interest and a filled-in submission. Then mimic how the submission files
(under instances folder) are stored.
