Why Organizing Survey Response Data Matters
Organizing survey response data is essential because raw survey data is rarely analysis-ready. Before you can generate useful reports, you often need to tidy up, hide irrelevant fields, and focus on what really matters.
Managing raw survey data can be overwhelming, especially with complex surveys that generate dozens of columns filled with system fields, participant information, and custom categories. Endless columns can make analysis slow and frustrating, especially if you need to find something specific quick.
