The export keeps the choices together, so the commas between them don't split the answer across columns.
Reports, Exports, APIIn the JSON Lines fileReports, Exports, APIEvery value in the column is a whole number, so it's written as a number, not text, and sorts and sums like one.
9In the JSON Lines file9 (number)The column has leading zeros, so it's written as text.
02139In the JSON Lines file02139 (text)An answer typed on two lines stays in one field, so the next response never starts halfway through a row. The line break becomes a space.

Frequently asked questions
Which survey tools' exports work?
Any file with questions in the header row, including Google Forms, Typeform, and Jotform CSVs, or Microsoft Forms Excel files. For SurveyMonkey or Qualtrics, remove extra sub-header rows before upload.
Will long or multi-line answers break my rows?
No. Every answer stays in its own field, commas and quotes included. A line break inside an answer becomes a space.
Do ZIP codes and IDs keep their leading zeros?
Yes. Fields with leading zeros stay formatted as text, while rating columns convert to numbers ready for calculation and charting.
Can I combine several exports into one file?
Yes. Use Merge Data to stack responses by matching column headers. Use Rename Columns if question wording changed between surveys.
