I am currently using MaxQDA for my research projects. I currently use other software like R, and local AI-agents like Llama models to execute tasks that help me in the coding process (e.g., segmenting transcripts according to some criteria). My issue is the following:
- MaxQDA allows to export full project data in Excel format ("Export Project COmponents as Excel File" in Reports menu). Notably, it allows to export retrieved coded segments with document, code, beginning, end of the codes assignment, segment of text assigned to the code and other information. All this information is very useful if one wants to work on it with other software. - However, the problem comes in when one wants to re-import back to MaxQDA such an Excel format project file after modifying some of this coded data with other software. How can one re-import back into MaxQDA this type of Project Component file? Why is it possible to export this data in Excel format, but one cannot import data in a similar format back to MaxQDA? Is there a way to go around this problem?
Solving this problem would be very useful for people that would want to use other software, or even local AI-agents (key for reproducibility) to execute some repetitive coding tasks, and have them imported back into MaxQDA. Thanks for your help!
