Frequently asked questions
Will this work for every survey export format?+
It transposes the CSV as-is. If the export has metadata rows above the header, clean those out with the CSV Cleaner first.
Do I lose any response data when transposing?+
No. All cell values are preserved — only the row/column orientation changes.
Can I transpose a file with hundreds of respondents?+
Yes, within the 2 MB / 2,000 row free limit. Pro handles larger files.
