Well, is there anything I can do about merging my exisitng data into one
column? Is there a way I can do that without going the long way
(copy/paste).

It's been a year or two since I investigated using Survey Monkey. As I
recall, , for subsequent analysis using Excel's pivot table features, the
generally best file type was Survey Monkey's "condensed.csv," not
"expanded.csv." I don't know if these Survey Monkey file types are currently
available. And I don't know about using the "Multiple Choice with Multiple
Answers" options.

I've been having an issue when I analyze results (Survey Monkey) and
download
into Excel. When I set up the type of question, I used Multiple Choice
with
Multiple Answers but when I receive the spreadsheet, there is a separate
column for each response. For example, we are starting a support group
for
military families and we offered a list of possible interests (support
group
meetings, coping tips, resource articles, etc.). I want all of the
choices
selected in one column. When I try to combine the cells by merging, I
receive an error message: "The selection contains multiple data values.."
And it wipes out all the information with the exception of the "upper left
most data". Please tell me there's an easy way to fix this.

I appreciate you,
