The Excel sheet export also benefits our research by performing various types of data analysis on top of the coded segments. This makes it easy for us to show a client coded quotations about sales practices, product pain point, or any other area of interest. You can even isolate specific segments of categories to export.

Within the program, it’s simple to export coded segments to Excel or text file where they remain neatly arranged in a categorical hierarchy. MAXQDA also allows for several key formats in exporting coded segments. Opportunities to extract quantitative data from qualitative research.While many factors influenced our decision, here are some of the reasons that MAXQDA topped our list: All except MAXQDA lacked something we needed: the ability to easily edit text while coding. Looking to implement a standard coding and categorization tool, we investigated a number of solutions. Unfortunately, those approaches or workflows just aren’t that applicable to a B2B market research firm.

We’ve found that many qual focused software packages are designed for an academic audience. That’s not always the case for qualitative coding software, especially when it comes to B2B. We were lucky to find MAXQDA because it does just that.
MAXQDA NOT MULTIPLE USERS AT ONCE MANUAL
Like many firms, when we first started, we relied on manual means of coding and analysis for processing our qualitative findings. It’s a time-consuming task, so we were always on the lookout for any software or tool that could speed up the process.
