Code List - NARI Goat Farmer Survey 2001

Prepared by Trevor Wilson ACNARS Economist October 2001

Instructions:

1. Enter data into a blank Excel spreadsheet. 2. The code list requires that only numbers be entered (as opposed to words). 3. Data are entered in columns directly from the questionnaires. This code list uses columns from A to EK, that is, 141 columns. Each row represents the data from one questionnaire. 4. Suggest entering all the data from the first questionnaire, then from the second etc. 5. Once the person (s) doing the data entry is (are) familiar with the code list, each questionnaire is likely to take 15-20 minutes. 6. Suggest using the Freeze Panes procedure (look in Window) so that the row being worked on can be adjacent the Column heading. This makes it easier to check that data are being entered in the correct columns. 7. Once all data are entered, the spreadsheet can be transferred to a data analysis package, eg Statistix1, so the data can be analysed. The columns will become the variables that are analysed. Prior to analysis, the names of the individual variables (Variable labels) and of the values within each variable (Value labels) will be inserted into the program. This is necessary so that the output can be easily interpreted and incorporated into tables for the project report.
