MS Excel limitations
Old MS Excel versions can have problems with the import of long surveys. Excel 2003 and older versions have a limitation of 256 columns.
- Excel 97, 2000, 2003 (file extension .xls), 65.536 rows, 256 columns.
- Excel 2007, 2010 or later (file extension .xlsx), 1.048.576 rows, 16.384 columns.
NOTE. Each zip exported from SurveyLab contains flattened files. It means that the file doesn't contain ENTER characters which may cause problems with proper data import into MS Excel or SPSS.
Depending on Account Settings, data in export files can have one of the following formats DD-MM-YYYY, MM-DD-YYYY, YYYY-MM-DD, where DD - means day, MM - month, and YYYY - year.
Partial results
Partial results are results for the abandoned surveys. We are saving data each time respondent navigates to the next page. In the final report, you will see only fully completed surveys but on request, you can have also access to partially completed surveys.
If you have partial results functionality activated, then in the raw data export folder you will find four files instead of two. Two additional files contain partial data results for surveys that have not been finished.
