Thanks Karen - I have heard they are fixing that Excel/SPSS problem with the Likert scale or a matrix. You know where each subsection of the field (0-5) doesn't have a field header that Excel can read properly. Hence the problem moving next to SPSS. On a short survey we fixed that by editing the text file and then moving it into Excel, then SPSS. . . . However the next version promises to fix that with a q1.0, q1.1, q1.2 . . . (Likert example) Okay, ta very much for your response. Cheers, Denise --- Karen Farquharson <KFarquharson@groupwise.swin.edu.au> wrote:
Hi Denise,
One of my PhD students is using opinio (our university uses it) and has had difficulties in moving the results to spss. In fact, she's actually printed out the surveys and recoded everything into spss. It has been fairly labour intensive.
I haven't done this myself, so I'm only going on her experience, but I thought I'd pass it along.
Cheers,
Karen

"Denise N. Rall" <denrall@yahoo.com> 07/04/06 12:18 pm >>> Dear Aoir-ers -
We are currently evaluating Opinio (used to be SurveyMonkey) for our university.
So far it seems to have that 'easy interface' but a few glitches moving the results to Excel and then to SPSS/PC - which is what we use for survey evaluation.
Ok, any stories good and Especially Bad would be appreciated.
Cheers, Denise
