Hi All,


I would like to import a data that i have gathered externally into Limesurvey.


As a first step i have created a survey, then I did a VV export from an active survey (with the Latest VV version option), added the external data and then tried to re-import. The import failed with the messages:



Success

File upload succeeded.

Error

Import failed: No answers could be mapped.



Then, I created a copy of the survey and tried again with no success whatsoever.


I have also attempted the following:


I thought the problem might be caused by some particular question, or perhaps some particular record. So, I eliminated all but one records from the VV file, and then went through the exercise of eliminating the questions from the survey one by one, until I only had a single question left --a short text-- and I was still getting the error messages when trying to import.



My aim is to import more than 10000 respondents into this survey. The survey itself is not large only 22 questions resulting in total of 160 columns (I have attached the file that i'm trying to import).


FYI The survey is in Bulgarian and the labels in the first row which contains the question labels are corrupted.


Please advise how to proceed?


Best regards
Daniel

For starting : just not adding data, import VV untouched

And VV file MUST be TSV file : Tab Separated Value , your is a CSV (Coma Separated Value)
