Transforming different Likert scales to a common scale

Troubleshooting


Problem

I have data from a questionnaire which used a 5-point Likert scale last year. But, although the questions are the same, this year the answers were recorded using a 7-point Likert scale. I want to analyze the combined data from both years. How can I transform the data to a common scale?
