Using the features in Excel to add descriptor data can save you a great deal of time in your mixed methods or qualitative data analysis. Rather than adding a field and manually going through each case to add or edit information, you can make edits and editions via Excel and then re-import your data quickly and easily back into Dedoose…all without disturbing the links to media you have already established. For more information check out our article here.
