Raw data exports

Data may be exported to CSV (Comma Separated Value) format, suitable for import into Open Office, MS Excel or other spreadsheet application.

Tip: If you have re-labeled any of the fields, the CSV output will contain the default field name. This will be fixed in a future release

How to use exported data

The data is exported in CSV (comma separated values) format, which can be easily imported into MS Excel, Open Office and other spreadsheet programs. Once imported, you can delete unused fields, change the field order, extract e-mail addresses, create graphs & charts, etc. You can then use the data to create quick lists/counts of specific records. For example: “How many readers who are 10 years old & attended Coyote Ridge school completed level 2?” For MS Excel (2000 & 2003) & Open Office (2.x):

  • From the menu bar, select Data → Filter → AutoFilter.
  • Click the age_desc drop-down & select “10”.
  • Click the school_desc drop-down & select “Coyote Ridge”.
  • Click the level_desc drop-down & select “Level 2”.
  • Only matching records are shown.
  • A count of matching records is shown in the lower-left corner (MS Excel only).
