I am working on a qualitative project with focus group data. Each file in my project thus contains responses from multiple participants (e.g., the file "FG1" contains responses from 4 unique participants who participated in the first focus group). I created a case for each participant, and added a number of attributes (e.g., age, gender, level of education) for each participant. I then coded all participants' quotes to their relevant case (e.g., all of the times Annie spoke are coded to the case "Annie".) Then, I created analytical nodes (e.g., "trauma") and coded into these nodes directly from my cases. However, when I export my analytical nodes, none of the case names or attributes appear in my coding. Instead, every quote is simply tagged with the filename it's from. For example, a quote from Annie, who spoke in Focus group 1, appears in the exported node simply as "<Files\\Focus Group Transcripts\\Transcript, FG1>". This is not helpful, since I need to know which participant is saying what. Does anyone know how to export nodes with case names and case attributes attached to each unique quote from a focus group participant? Thank you!

Hi, I have free answers to 8 questions from 35 participants. I have added and coded each question as a source with the participant number next to each answer in every spreadsheet. What I want to do now is to export the nodes for each participant to spss. When I try to run the matrix code I get the matrix coded for all the participant in each source, but what I need to do is to compare participants between the questions, if that makes sense. Essentially a quantification of the stripes that appear in NVIVO in an SPSS or Exel format. Is this possible? Thank you in advance
