Uploading and Managing Datasets

What Can You Upload?

Chisquares supports the upload of:

• CSV (.csv)
• Excel (.xls, .xlsx)
• Public datasets (cleaned and curated)
• Survey data collected using the platform itself

Each uploaded dataset becomes part of the current project and can be used for immediate analysis.

When to Upload a Dataset

Upload a dataset when:

1. You begin a new analysis
2. You want to use public data stored by Chisquares
3. You’ve collected survey responses through the platform
4. You’re replacing an old dataset with a newer version

How to Upload

1. Go to the Project.

2. Click on Upload Dataset.

3. Choose a source:

   • Your Device: Upload CSV or Excel
   • Your Storage: Use previously uploaded files
   • Public Repository: Browse and select from preloaded government/public datasets
   • Collected Surveys: Use data gathered through the Chisquares survey engine

4. Validate file:

   • The platform checks file type, structure, and size
   • File is converted into a secure and efficient format for internal use

5. Review metadata:

   • Dataset name and label
   • Number of rows/columns, missing values, date imported

Where to Access Uploaded Data

• Go to the Dataset Codebook (automatically loaded post-upload)

Who Can Upload or View Datasets?
