Hello - I'm trying to whittle down the amount of extraneous data which populates in my survey exports - I don't want all the extra meta data (location, time stamps etc), simply the response to my survey. Is there a way to pick specific columns/data which are exported? Thanks in advance -

@ garethg, Yes, this is possible. Below are the steps you need to follow:

1. You need to select choose columns options available in tools menu in Data and Analysis section.
2. By this way, you can select the specific questions you want to export.
3. Click on Export and uncheck the option 'Download All fields' option.
4. You will get export of only selected columns.
5. Please also refer the screenshot below for your reference.

Thank you, Eesh!
Very helpful Eesh, thank you. Any ideas how to still download as choice text instead of numerical values when not downloading all fields?

Hi jw2071, Thansk. By default the export will come out as a choice text. I have tried exporting the data and though I am not able to download in numeric format but I can still export the data as choice text.
