Begin by logging into your SurveyMonkey account. Navigate to the survey you wish to export data from. Go to the "Analyze Results" section and select the "Export" option. Choose the desired format for your export, such as CSV or Excel, which are easy to handle and compatible with Databricks. Download the export file to your local machine.
Ensure your local environment is set up with the necessary tools to handle data files. This typically includes software like Python or a simple spreadsheet editor for basic data checks. Verify the integrity and structure of the downloaded file, ensuring there are no missing headers or malformed data entries.
Access your Databricks account and create a new workspace if necessary. Set up a suitable cluster if one is not already running. Ensure your cluster has access to the necessary libraries to handle data ingestion and transformation, such as pandas and pyspark for Python.
Navigate to the "Data" tab in your Databricks workspace. Choose "Upload File" to add the exported SurveyMonkey data file to DBFS. Select the file from your local machine and upload it. This makes the data accessible for processing within Databricks.
Create a new notebook in your Databricks workspace. Use PySpark or Pandas to read the data into a DataFrame. For example, with PySpark, use:
```python
df = spark.read.csv('/dbfs/FileStore/tables/your_surveymonkey_data.csv', header=True, inferSchema=True)
```
This command reads the CSV file from DBFS into a Spark DataFrame, including headers and inferring data types.
Use Spark DataFrame operations to clean and transform the data as required. This might involve handling missing values, changing data types, or filtering unnecessary entries. For instance:
```python
df_cleaned = df.dropna() # Example operation to remove any rows with missing data
df_transformed = df_cleaned.withColumn('new_column', df_cleaned['existing_column'] * 2) # Example transformation
```
Once the data is cleaned and transformed, write it to your Databricks Lakehouse. Choose a suitable format such as Delta, Parquet, or another supported format for efficient storage and querying. For example, save as Delta Lake:
```python
df_transformed.write.format('delta').save('/mnt/lakehouse/your_transformed_data')
```
This command saves the DataFrame to the Lakehouse, making it ready for analysis and further processing.
By following these steps, you can manually transfer and prepare your SurveyMonkey data for analysis in Databricks Lakehouse without relying on third-party connectors or integrations.
FAQs
What is ETL?
ETL, an acronym for Extract, Transform, Load, is a vital data integration process. It involves extracting data from diverse sources, transforming it into a usable format, and loading it into a database, data warehouse or data lake. This process enables meaningful data analysis, enhancing business intelligence.
Survey Monkey uses the power of the web to enable individuals and companies to reach unprecedented numbers of respondents to gain insights into almost anything. An experience management company, Momentive Inc. (formerly SurveyMonkey Inc.) uses a cloud-based software to provide service solutions for businesses and individuals needing brand or market insights, information regarding consumers’ product experiences, employee and customer experiences—information of any kind for which surveys can provide useful information to improve products, events, experiences.
SurveyMonkey's API provides access to a wide range of data related to surveys and responses. The following are the categories of data that can be accessed through SurveyMonkey's API:
1. Survey data: This includes information about the survey itself, such as the survey title, description, and questions.
2. Response data: This includes information about the responses to the survey, such as the respondent's answers to each question.
3. User data: This includes information about the users who created the survey, such as their name, email address, and account type.
4. Team data: This includes information about the teams that the user belongs to, such as the team name and members.
5. Template data: This includes information about the survey templates available on SurveyMonkey, such as the template name and description.
6. Collector data: This includes information about the collectors used to distribute the survey, such as the collector type and status.
7. Analytic data: This includes information about the survey results, such as the response rate, completion time, and average score.
Overall, SurveyMonkey's API provides access to a comprehensive set of data related to surveys and responses, which can be used to gain insights and make data-driven decisions.
What is ELT?
ELT, standing for Extract, Load, Transform, is a modern take on the traditional ETL data integration process. In ELT, data is first extracted from various sources, loaded directly into a data warehouse, and then transformed. This approach enhances data processing speed, analytical flexibility and autonomy.
Difference between ETL and ELT?
ETL and ELT are critical data integration strategies with key differences. ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) transforms data before loading, ideal for structured data. In contrast, ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) loads data before transformation, perfect for processing large, diverse data sets in modern data warehouses. ELT is becoming the new standard as it offers a lot more flexibility and autonomy to data analysts.
