Data export format

Hi!

While exporting data from my survey, I realized that those data from per alter form will be showing as TRUE or FALSE for categorical and boolean questions. I was wondering if there is any way to program such questions that the data will be showing the assigned values, such as 1,2,3,4, that are corresponding to the labels?

Thanks,
Jenny

Hi Jenny!

This is expected behaviour, because categorical variables can have multiple values, and there is no canonical way to encode multiple values in CSV. The column names contain the assigned value, so it is fairly easy to recode the data into whatever format you need. Our tutorial on working with the data in R covers this.
