Well, way I see it answer is already here. Someone just need put these 2 codes(Export Excel and Display responses) working together and then we have it

How about sponsoring the feature? As I said, I don't see that anyone will take this over any time soon.

What do you mean by sponsoring?
I am going to by premium package 12 months if I get this working somehow.
Someone said I could do plugin myself.

Well, I don't know what the premium package includes (this is from the Limesurvey GmbH), but from what I know it is the comfort update at the moment, which is well worth its money.

The rest is based on Limesurey's current features. If you require different features there are a few options:

• - Make a feature request (which I think you already did) and wait for its implementation. However, just like with other software this might happen, or not. Even if you spend thousands of dollars/euros on commercial survey packages this is not guaranteed. Back in the day when we used a very expensive survey tool we had tons of feature requests, some made it in the package, others didn't.
• Sponsoring: Find a developer that will implement this into Limesurvey, if possible. Of course they probably won't do this for free.
• Implement it as a plugin (if possible).

I thank you for explaining to me these options. I have to think about them.

Hi, teksur,
I know this topic may be outdated.
But I just want to explain a in my opinion short and easy way to transfer the database format "YYYY-MM-DD" to an EXCEL format (days since 1.1.1900 or whatever).

1. Export your data as SPSS file (you only need the data file)
2. Open this in EXCEL (delimiter is komma)
3. Add a column after the date column (the date will look like '17-06-2016 00:00:00', maybe because of my German EXCEL)
4. In the new column enter the formula "=RIGHT(LEFT(B1;11);10)*1"
5. You will get the value 42528, the EXCEL representation of the date.
6. This you can format to your need with the EXCEL functionality.

Kind regards
Joffm

Hello, emilyjohn,

why do you very frequently reply to absolutely outdated topics? And mostly insubstantial.

Here you just quoted a part of holch's answer 1 year 4 months ago.

What is the reason for that?

Hi there,

This is an outdated topic but the associated Mantis likewise : bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=11293

That's not a big deal, I don't understand why there is so few consideration about this question.

Maybe on this script (LimeSurvey/application/helpers/export_helper.php) :

Thanks in advance for your reply,

Hi tomy,

LimeSurvey is OpenSource, so if you're a PHP coder and you found a fix for a bug, feel free to submit a pull request to the gitHub repository:

github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

PS : for excel, since we use github.com/mk-j/PHP_XLSXWriter , best is to set the column type to datetime format.
After : excel see really datetime, and user can set his own format easily.

Same can be done with numeric item, but i don't know if we can use #0.#
