This export routine was created to facilitate rapid analysis of data collected with LimeSurvey. It creates an XML-file in Stata's proprietary format. This format offers several advantages over importing plain CSV files:

  • Data sets are fully labelled including variable labels (question, subquestion) and value labels (answers, if applicable).
  • Dates are already transformed to Stata's internal date format and thus can directly be used to calculate differences between days etc.
  • Variable names are, if necessary, converted to a Stata compatible format.
  • Data formats of variables (string, integer, float, etc.) are already set according to the underlying data (no more numbers encoded as strings!).
