How to Export Your Survey Responses

Your survey responses can be exported in order to run reports outside of Checkbox or import the results into another system or database. Responses can be exported as a .csv file, which can be opened in Excel, or as a .sav file, which is used by SPSS and other statistical reporting software.

1. Choose the Export Responses option

• From the main survey list or from within the survey editor, go to the Responses tab for your survey
• Click the export icon, then Export Responses

2. Choose your Export Options

• Export Mode: Choose between Standard CSV (can be opened in Excel), SPSS Compatible CSV, or SPSS Native Format. Max Diff CSV will be required only if you included a Max Diff question in your survey.
