I see.

Joffm is there any chance you could send me the export of the survey as a question or question group?

For some reason, the version of LS I am using through my university does not give me the ability to import lss files, but I am able to import lsg or lsq files for question groups or individual questions. If you could send me that question as its own question file that would be super appreciated!

Thank you for those changes as well. I agree with the seperate questions for currency! Thanks again joffm.

Here I attach the question.


It is the same that you sent in your export.

Dear Mr. Joffm,

I have a question regarding the Discrete choice experiment script that you wrote to do Discrete choice experiments in Lime survey. I was able to program the survey to have the DCE in Lime survey. However, now that I am going to send out the survey and receive responses for it I also need to be able te analyse the survey. I prefer to do this in SPSS or in SAS JMP software. Unfortunaly, I receive an error code in SPSS when trying to convert the survey, because he doesn't understand the codes of the DCE questions. Is there any solution to fix this problem, or do you have other suggestions to fix it?

I would be very grateful for a response.
Kind regards,
Celine Massop

Unfortunaly, I receive an error code in SPSS when trying to convert the survey, because he doesn't understand the codes of the DCE questions.

Before Joffm will answer, you might explain what "convert the survey" means? You normally import responses into SPSS, not the survey. So what are you actually doing and what is the error SPSS is showing?
 

Yess, I want to import the answers to my survey questions in SPSS. Maybe converting was not the right formulation.

The survey: questions.socsci.ru.nl/index.php/survey/...519/gid/3356/lang/en


The error code that I receive is this.

SPSS cannot open the file, cause it cannot find the file.
The path is not set correctly.

You need to modify this line and set a complete path (depends on you OS how the systax is).
/FILE='download\survey_797519_SPSS_data_file.dat'
You can create a shortcut to the downloaded file to get the complete path.
 

I see what I did wrong here! Thank you

I now have imported the data, however it show no data only the variables.
Any idea's how to fix this?

Here is the Data from SPSS

Hi,
so, please check:
1. Are there data in the *.dat file?
2. Do they correspond with the data in the answer table of LimeSurvey?

3. Which messages did you get in the SPSS Output Window (don't know how it is called in English).

Last you may send your syntax file and the first three lines of the data file.
You will have to zip these; otherwise you are not able to attach them.

Here is my syntax file, I believe that it is also possible to communicate in Dutch. So therefore, Ik heb mijn Survey nogmaals bekeken en ik zie dat ik de antwoord mogelijkheden bij de choiceset niet heb beschreven, dit zou ik dus nog kunnen doen. Echter is het natuurlijk de bedoeling om de kenmerken in elke 'choiceset' los te kunnen evalueren zodat het duidelijk word welke kenmerken het meest worden gekozen. Heeft u hier nog tips voor om deze uit te splitsen? 

Daarnaast, denkt u dat deze problemen achteraf op te lossen zijn. Dit is namelijk de data van mijn pilot survey. Dan kan ik namelijk mijn echte survey alvast gaan verspreiden ondertussen dat ik deze problemen oplos.

Hi,

I believe that it is also possible to communicate in Dutch

Yes, but not in the English part of the forum.

Well, I took your zip file, unzipped and removed the "(3)" from the filename.
Then I ran the syntax with the folder of the *.dat file
 /FILE='C:\Users\lime\Desktop\Limesurvey_forum\survey_797519_SPSS_data_file.dat'

and
 

As you see, the VARIABLE LABELS of your experiment are too long.
They are usually too long if you enter a lot of explanation and especially the HTML table in the question text.
And they usually contain text, that you do not want to have in your analysis.
Edit these texts.

And the missing VALUE LABELS. No problem.
Add them: Now or later in the SPSS Data View

I added in the synatx file
*Define Value labels.
VALUE LABELS  V6
 "A1" "my new label"
 "A2" "the second option"
 "A3" "what is this".
VALUE LABELS  V7

and here we are
 

So there shouldn't be an issue.

Now another solution if you still get problems to read the data this way.

Import the *.dat file directly
 
 

​​​​​​​To get the labels and the 
Here you may use your syntax file, remove the "GET DATA" part.
*$Rev: 121017 $ all 2.
SET UNICODE=ON.
SHOW LOCALE.
PRESERVE LOCALE.
SET LOCALE='en_UK'.

*Define Variable Properties.
VARIABLE LABELS V1 "id".
VARIABLE LABELS V2 "submitdate".
VARIABLE LABELS V3 "lastpage".
VARIABLE LABELS V4 "startlanguage".
VARIABLE LABELS V5 "Seed".
VARIABLE LABELS V6 "
...

and run it
