I plan to export my data to SPSS for analysis ( my 1st experience with this) - is it best to enter the numerical reporting values to my survey or wait and add them after exporting to the SPSS.
If i add them in the survey, will they transfer to SPSS?
thanks
donna

Hi Donna,

It’s up to you. :) If you don’t assign numbers in the reporting value then the SPSS export with automatically assign them during the export process (and label them nicely in the variables tab of SPSS)

Assigning them ahead of time makes sense if you want to number the items a specific way. By default the exporter will number them from 1 to X from top to bottom.

Cheers,

-Christian
