Adding variables via CSV | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hi all, I have a survey which has a respondent ID (RESPID) for each case, and all associated data for each respondent.
Am I able to import a new variable (for each existing respondent) via CSV file, and match to the survey using RESPID?
I.e. my CSV file to import has 2 columns:

  • RESPID (one for each respondent in the survey)

  • NEWVAR

All I want is NEWVAR added as a new variable after I merge the data - data should be matched using RESPID.
Thanks, Mike.

You can do this via API. (https://api.qualtrics.com/daed82306b1ea-update-response).
If you direct import your variables the data would not merge and would create additional responses.
Hope it helps!

Hi Deepak ,
Thanks for your response! Unfortunately that seems a little out of my skill set at present, haha!
I actually have no idea what an API is...
How do I use it?

thanks, Mike.

Unfortunately if you're not aware of it you wouldn't be able to do it. On other hand the other way is you can export all responses delete them include a additional variable as needed and import the responses.
Qualtrics does have support pages on API to learn more.
Hope it helps!

Deepak - thank you mate, much appreciated!
