Dear community,

I have collected data using a graphic slider question (Q1), but for the sake of improved data analysis and user interaction, I need to switch this to a standard slider question (Q2).

The direct approach would be to simply change the question type within Qualtrics, but I understand that doing so would result in losing the already collected data for Q1. In an ideal world, I would create the new question (Q2) and then do a simple integration of Q1's data with Q2 by appending the old data (form Q1) to the new question format in Q2. This process seems straightforward in Excel, where it's a matter of copying and pasting data from one column to another. However, I'm unsure how, or even if, this can be replicated within the Qualtrics platform.

Does anyone have experience with this type of situation or know if Qualtrics offers a functionality that could facilitate this data migration without compromising the integrity of the collected responses?

Thanks.
