Hi

This can be done by Nesstar Publisher. As part of the process, the software 
will also calculate frequencies and descriptive statistics and add to the 
metadata (optional).

The Nesstar Publisher can serve as general data/metadata entry, 
transformation and editing tool, independently of it's role in the overall 
Nesstar system.

I have added a power-point series describing the latest version.

Regards,
Jostein Ryssevik
