Understanding Export Spreadsheets

Understanding Export Spreadsheets

The data export will contain a column for each question in the DAISEY form (image below).

Rows 1-7 provide guidance on how to interpret the form:

  • Row 1 displays the text “Data for” followed by the name of the form which was exported.
  • Row 2 displays the question ID for each column.
  • Row 3 displays the question text.
  • Row 4 indicates the data type.
  • Row 5 indicates the format type.
  • Row 6 specifies the current allowable responses for questions that appear as drop-down boxes in DAISEY.
    • For coded answers (e.g. “1,Yes|0,No”) only the number will appear in the answer cells below (e.g. “1”).
  • Row 7 indicates whether this question is a mandatory field.
Note: If a question has changed between when a form was entered into DAISEY and when the form was exported, some answers may not match current allowable responses or some answers may be missing from newly-mandatory questions.

The last column of profile or activity data will always contain the “Date & Time Last Modified”. If exporting activity data with profile data, the profile data will come after this column (See Exporting Activities with Profile Data).
