Copying responses into a different survey (using tokens)
- Create new survey, add a dummy response, export the response file, open in Excel. This creates the format for the new import file.
- Export the responses from the old survey, including tokens, open in Excel.
- Use this data to create an Excel worksheet for the standard token file import (eg. Firstname, Lastname, Token, Email address, Email status (OK), Language (En)). Save as .csv and import tokens to the new survey in LimeSurvey.
- In Excel, copy the response fields from the old survey responses that you want in the new survey (including token) into the appropriate Excel column of the new survey format.
- Save as .txt file.
- Use VVImport to import the new data into the new survey.
- Possible import errors include date format - some system date fields do not allow a NULL value, some do. If the date looks okay but gives an error, use the Excel cell format "2009-12-01".
