Preparing and
importing survey data
for NVivo (Windows)
• The questions are in the column headings in row 1. Make sure that they are brief. If you want them to appear in
NVivo in a particular order, number them as 01, 02 etc. Otherwise, the order will be alphanumeric in NVivo.
• Only the first row should contain column or field names, (e.g. ID, Gender, Age, Question 1).
• Make sure that one column contains a unique identifier (e.g. an ID number for each survey respondent).
It’s helpful to place this column first.
• When there is no response for a closed ended question, leave the cell blank.
• Make sure that the answers to closed ended questions are brief.
