==================

Hello!

We created some questions in lime survey (type multiple choice, type array, type list). After export of the data set/answers, I noticed that the variables storing the answers are of type string or byte. I would prefer type integer for nummerical analysis. Is there any quick option to change the variable/dta type in limesurvey to integer before exporting?

Or maybe choose an alternative question type (for multiple choice, array, list)?

Thank you.
Best Silke B.
