📥 Read Your Data

Before you can reshape or analyze your conjoint survey data, you first need to import it into R. In projoint, use the read_Qualtrics() function to quickly read properly formatted Qualtrics files.


🚀 Quick Workflow

1. Export your survey responses from Qualtrics

When exporting from Qualtrics:

  • Click “Download Data”.
  • Choose CSV format.
  • Critically, select “Use choice text” rather than coded values.
⚡ If you skip selecting “Use choice text,” your conjoint data may fail to load properly!
2. Load essential packages
3. Read your CSV file into R using read_Qualtrics()
# Example: If your file is located in a "data" folder
data <- read_Qualtrics("data/your_file.csv")

Or, if using an example bundled with projoint:

# Inspect the imported data:
