What's in the Menti Live Excel export?

The Menti Live Excel export contains a Voters tab, followed by one tab for each session: Session 1, Session 2, and so on.

  • Voters: Each participant is assigned a number. The Voters tab shows how each numbered participant answered each question in your Menti Live.

  • Session 1, Session 2, and so on: Each session tab shows the results of each question for that session, such as the number of votes each option received.

A new session starts each time you clear the results of your Menti Live. The Menti Live Excel export includes the results of all previous sessions, not only the latest one.

For example, if you present the same Menti Live to three groups and clear the results between each group, the Excel export contains the Voters tab, and a tab for each session you've presented, numbered, Session 1, Session 2 and Session 3.

In the spreadsheet, you can find different sheets:

The first sheet lets you follow the individual voters, as they are assigned a number. You can see what they have answered on each question.

The second sheet presents the voting results per question. In this example, an Image Choice question, you can see how many votes the options have gotten.

The third sheet shows the same information as the second one, but is different per voting session. The export to Excel will also include results from previous sessions.

Limiting Excel exports across your workspace

Workspace owners and admins can limit what Excel exports contain, and when Excel export is available, to better protect participant anonymity. The Limited results export setting is available on the Enterprise plan.
