A typical session follows one straight path:

1. Import a response export (for example, a Google Forms spreadsheet).

2. Clean and reshape the data with point-and-click processing steps.

3. Analyse it — descriptives, correlations, group comparisons, regression, reliability, factor analysis, and more.

4. Copy or export the results straight into a Word document or a report file.

This guide walks through each of those stages. If you are new, start with Getting started and then follow the Worked example: from a Google Form to a report.
