# Using Calc with data not collected through Collect / Collect Mobile

Asked by collector on 2022-11-18

I have collected data using a different software from Collect Mobile but I would like to use Open Foris Calc to analyze it.

Is there a way for me to import this data into Calc??

Thanks!

Unfortunately there is no methods to use Calc with other than Collect data.

Just to complete, here is a post in the forum on how to create a Collect survey by importing the data you already have as a CSV file, in case you want to go the route of generating the Collect survey with your current data and then using Calc with the data export!
