XLSform filler data

A commandline tool for creating dummy/test data from XLSform surveys.

Installation

pip install xlsform-filler-data

Usage

To create a dummy dataset, with a default number of rows(100) from a XLSform source: xlsform-filler-data <source-file-path>/<filename.xlsx>

To specify the number of rows to create, use the -r flag. Example: xlsform-filler-data <source-file-path>/<filename.xlsx> -r 200

To specify the output path and filename, pass the -o flag. Example: xlsform-filler-data <source-file-path>/<filename.xlsx> -o <./myfile.xlsx>

Roadmap

As of version 0.1.1 the tool does not properly randomise multiple choice questions; omits some variables such as 'start' and 'end'; does not maintain the order of the variables; and does not incorporate constraints or cascading choice lists. These limitations will be adddressed in future releases.
