使用R解析Surveymonkey csv文件

标签: r parsing csv surveymonkey

我正在尝试分析使用surveymonkey创建的大型调查,该调查在CSV文件中有数百列,并且输出格式难以使用,因为标题会在两行上运行。

  • 有没有人找到一种简单的方法来管理CSV文件中的标题,以便分析是可管理的?
  • 其他人如何分析Surveymonkey的结果?

谢谢!

您可以使用方便的格式从Surveymonkey导出R,请参阅“高级电子表格格式”中的下载回复

我最后做的是使用标有V1,V2等的libreoffice打印出标题然后我只是在文件中读取

 m1 <- read.csv('Sheet1.csv', header=FALSE, skip=1)

然后只对m1 $ V10,m1 $ V23等进行了分析......

为了解决多列的混乱,我使用了以下小函数

# function to merge columns into one with a space separator and then
# remove multiple spaces
mcols <- function(df, cols) {
    # e.g. mcols(df, c(14:18))
        exp <- paste('df[,', cols, ']', sep='', collapse=',' )
        # this creates something like...
        # "df[,14],df[,15],df[,16],df[,17],df[,18]"
        # now we just want to do a paste of this expression...
        nexp <- paste(" paste(", exp, ", sep=' ')")
        # so now nexp looks something like...
        # " paste( df[,14],df[,15],df[,16],df[,17],df[,18] , sep='')"
        # now we just need to parse this text... and eval() it...
        newcol <- eval(parse(text=nexp))
        newcol <- gsub('  *', ' ', newcol) # replace duplicate spaces by a single one
        newcol <- gsub('^ *', '', newcol) # remove leading spaces
        gsub(' *$', '', newcol) # remove trailing spaces
}
# mcols(df, c(14:18))

毫无疑问,有人能够清理它!

整理我使用过的Likert式音阶:

# function to tidy c('Strongly Agree', 'Agree', 'Disagree', 'Strongly Disagree')
tidylik4 <- function(x) {
  xlevels <- c('Strongly Disagree', 'Disagree', 'Agree', 'Strongly Agree')
  y <- ifelse(x == '', NA, x)
  ordered(y, levels=xlevels)
}

for (i in 44:52) {
  m2[,i] <- tidylik4(m2[,i])
}

随意评论,毫无疑问,这将再次出现!

截至2013年11月,网页布局似乎已发生变化。选择Analyze results > Export All > All Responses Data > Original View > XLS+ (Open in advanced statistical and analytical software)。然后转到导出并下载文件。您将获得原始数据作为第一行=问题标题/每个行= 1响应,如果您有许多响应/问题,可能在多个文件之间拆分。

我必须经常处理这个问题,并且将标题放在两列上会有些痛苦。此功能解决了该问题,因此您只需要处理1行标题。它还加入了多打孔问题,因此您具有top:bottom样式命名。

#' @param x The path to a surveymonkey csv file
fix_names <- function(x) {
  rs <- read.csv(
    x,
    nrows = 2,
    stringsAsFactors = FALSE,
    header = FALSE,
    check.names = FALSE, 
    na.strings = "",
    encoding = "UTF-8"
  )

  rs[rs == ""] <- NA
  rs[rs == "NA"] <- "Not applicable"
  rs[rs == "Response"] <- NA
  rs[rs == "Open-Ended Response"] <- NA

  nms <- c()

  for(i in 1:ncol(rs)) {

    current_top <- rs[1,i]
    current_bottom <- rs[2,i]

    if(i + 1 < ncol(rs)) {
      coming_top <- rs[1, i+1]
      coming_bottom <- rs[2, i+1]
    }

    if(is.na(coming_top) & !is.na(current_top) & (!is.na(current_bottom) | grepl("^Other", coming_bottom)))
      pre <- current_top

    if((is.na(current_top) & !is.na(current_bottom)) | (!is.na(current_top) & !is.na(current_bottom)))
      nms[i] <- paste0(c(pre, current_bottom), collapse = " - ")

    if(!is.na(current_top) & is.na(current_bottom))
      nms[i] <- current_top

  }


  nms
}

如果您注意,它将仅返回名称。我通常只使用...,skip=2, header = FALSE读取.csv,保存到变量并覆盖变量名称。它还有助于ALOT设置您的na.stringsstringsAsFactor = FALSE

nms = fix_names("path/to/csv")
d = read.csv("path/to/csv", skip = 2, header = FALSE)
names(d) = nms

迟到参加聚会,但这仍然是一个问题,我发现最好的解决方法是使用一个函数,基于重复的值将列名和子列名粘贴在一起。

例如,如果导出到.csv,则在RStudio中,重复的列名将自动替换为X。如果导出到.xlsx,则重复的值将是...

这是一个base R解决方案:

sm_header_function <- function(x, rep_val){
  
  orig <- x
  
  sv <- x
  sv <- sv[1,]
  sv <- sv[, sapply(sv, Negate(anyNA)), drop = FALSE]
  sv <- t(sv)
  sv <- cbind(rownames(sv), data.frame(sv, row.names = NULL))
  names(sv)[1] <- "name"
  names(sv)[2] <- "value"
  sv$grp <- with(sv, ave(name, FUN = function(x) cumsum(!startsWith(name, rep_val))))
  sv$new_value <- with(sv, ave(name, grp, FUN = function(x) head(x, 1)))
  sv$new_value <- paste0(sv$new_value, " ", sv$value)
  new_names <- as.character(sv$new_value)
  colnames(orig)[which(colnames(orig) %in% sv$name)] <- sv$new_value
  orig <- orig[-c(1),]
  return(orig)
}

sm_header_function(df, "X")
sm_header_function(df, "...")

对于一些示例数据,列名的更改如下所示:

从SurveyMonkey原始导出:

> colnames(sample)
 [1] "Respondent ID"                                 "Please provide your contact information:"      "...11"                                        
 [4] "...12"                                         "...13"                                         "...14"                                        
 [7] "...15"                                         "...16"                                         "...17"                                        
[10] "...18"                                         "...19"                                         "I wish it would have snowed more this winter."

从SurveyMonkey清除的导出:

> colnames(sample_clean)
 [1] "Respondent ID"                                            "Please provide your contact information: Name"           
 [3] "Please provide your contact information: Company"         "Please provide your contact information: Address"        
 [5] "Please provide your contact information: Address 2"       "Please provide your contact information: City/Town"      
 [7] "Please provide your contact information: State/Province"  "Please provide your contact information: ZIP/Postal Code"
 [9] "Please provide your contact information: Country"         "Please provide your contact information: Email Address"  
[11] "Please provide your contact information: Phone Number"    "I wish it would have snowed more this winter. Response"

答案 5 :(得分:0)

以下内容:将read.csv()header=FALSE一起使用。制作两个数组,一个包含两行标题,另一个包含调查答案。然后paste()两行/句子在一起。最后,使用colnames()

答案 6 :(得分:0)

标题的问题是,“select all that apply”的列将有一个空白的顶行,列标题将是下面的行。对于这些类型的问题,这只是一个问题。

考虑到这一点,我编写了一个循环来遍历所有列,如果列名为空 - 其字符长度为1,则使用第二行中的值替换列名。

然后,您可以终止数据的第二行并拥有整洁的数据框。

for(i in 1:ncol(df)){
newname <- colnames(df)[i]
if(nchar(newname) < 2){
colnames(df)[i] <- df[1,i]
} 

df <- df[-1,]
