Discussions

NVivo or Excel for qualitative data analysis?
I hate QDA software, namely because my qualitative analysis is always inductive, interpretive, and about theory-building. If it’s for theory-testing, QDA software like NVivo is great; you just code stuff deductively and categorize it all and count it. You aren’t theory-testing much if you’re doing phenomenology, imo. QDA software won’t be much help. I would worry less about the tools and more about the sense you’re making of data. I’d write memos first, then see what emerges that’s interesting and follow that. Once you have a decent idea of what you’re looking for, I would then think about the unit of analysis that lets me gain insight into that. There are a lot of ways to chunk/segment data, so be intentional. THEN you can code - at which point you can ask what tool might help you do that. Personally, I do all my coding on Google Sheets or Google Docs (if coding is even a core analytic activity I engage in at all; oftentimes it’s not). I like those tools bc they’re flexible and easy to import or export data or segments. NVivo and MaxQDA and Atlas.TI are such a pain to me. (Again, useful for deductive coding and generating counts but not for emergent theory-building work.) So, I’d start with some sense making and memoing and see what feels right afterwards.

Looking for the best resource for NVivo data analysis
NVivo is definitely a niche product to a large degree. I’ve only met one other person who uses it. That said, it’s commercial so it has a decent user guide. I found their getting started guide really helpful: https://www.qsrinternational.com/nvivo/free-nvivo-resources/getting-started . More on reddit.com

I'm looking for qualitative data coding software. I have heard NVIVO is very effective. Can anyone give me some advice or suggestions for other types of software?
How many interviews is a "series"? "Coding" qualitative material is helpful to not get lost in ridiculous amounts of data but for only a little material I don't see the benefit. I always strongly advise hermeneutic approaches but that's not what you asked for. So I will throw "MaxQDA" oder "atlas.ti" your way. I believe they have trial versions. And perhaps ask your institution whether they have licenses for any product. More on reddit.com

The Implication of Using NVivo Software in Qualitative Data Analysis: Evidence-Based Reflections - PMC
In this paper, the author reflects on his experience of interacting with one of the popular CAQDAS (NVivo) in order to provide evidence-based implications of using the software. The key message is that unlike statistical software, the main function of CAQDAS is not to analyse data but rather to aid the analysis process, which the researcher must always remain in control of.

r/academia on Reddit: NVivo or Excel for qualitative data analysis?
May 29, 2025 -

Hi all. I am at a height of frustration with NVivo right now. I'm watching video after video and cannot, for the life of me, understand how to use the software.

Has anyone used just Excel for analyzing a small dataset qualitative data? For reference, I have 6 participants in my life history / phenomenological dissertation study. My data are interview audios, transcriptions of the interviews, and 1-2 journal entries for each participant. I plan on inductive and deductive coding.

TIA

To be frank I do qualitative coding in word with colors and comments and then print key passages and cut them out. I hand manipulate them and write various codes on notecards and move them around. Later I more formally write this up but to work with the raw data I need a tactile and embodied way to work with it. A more empiricist or post positivist qualitative scholar would smirk at this. So really it all depends on how you can defend it from the literature and who your examiners will be.
