importQualtrics

Character string with file name of a CSV or XLSX file
from Qualtrics.

file

Default 1, the information to be used as column
names (the HEADER information in R's read.table function)

namerow

Number of rows to omit because they are not data

skip

Row number to be treated as the questions in the
survey. Usually 2. Default is NULL, meaning questions are not
imported.

questrow

Default TRUE, columns ending in "_TEXT" are
omitted.

dropTEXT

Default FALSE, same meaning as R's
read.csv. Does not affect importation of Excel files.

stringsAsFactors

Defaults are based on most common format received from Qualtrics
downloads to CSV or XLSX (MS Excel) formats. We assume that the
file has the column names in row 1 and that 3 rows are skipped
before the real data begins. If the parameter questrow is used, it
designates a row that is interpreted as the survey questions
themselves. Often, this is in row 2.

Tools for data importation, recoding, and inspection that
are used at the University of Kansas Center for Research Methods
and Data Analysis. There are functions to create new project
folders, R code templates, create uniquely named output
directories, and to quickly obtain a visual summary for each
variable in a data frame.  The main feature here is the systematic
implementation of the "variable key" framework for data
importation and recoding.  We are eager to have community feedback
about the variable key and the vignette about it.
