While I'm at it, I'll share another improvement suggestion that we
briefly discussed earlier via email, and perhaps get some input from
others:

In some circumstances one may want to use onasurveys primarily for
data gathering / import into SPSS, rather than doing network analysis
- e.g. when not able to use real names b.c.o. privacy concerns, but
still wanting info about different types of relations. Then it would
be extremely helpful to be able to download all data on one sheet,
i.e. all replies belonging to one respondent on one line including
answers per alter.

Thus far I've had to manually cut & paste the alter info from each
"from node" on the relations sheet to the corresponding node on the
node sheet (adding P1-, P2- etc. in front of the variable name of each
alter), which takes way too much time even with decent excel skills.
I'm sure an excel macro could be created for larger / more data sets
(which is not my forté), but it seems more sensible to have such
functionality in place centrally - saving the user hours of
tediousness :)
