Can you show us a screen shot?
Recoded values are just that- re-coded so that when you download them you get the new coded value, not the value they are presented as. As such, these don't embed, they are just a new way of looking at the same answer/variable.
However, if you are having problem seeing them in your worksheets, know that it may be how you download your data. To see all available embedded data, ensure you are using the legacy exporter. I've often wondered where my embedded data is on my spreadsheets only to find I downloaded the wrong version.
hello
@csmit141 ,
Recode values for option are different from embedded data.
Recode values are for ease of analysis using different numeric or text other than shown in option for eg if a user selects 'yes' option it will be stored as '1' in data.
Embedded Data is any extra information you would like recorded in addition to the question responses. It can be used to store information such as the social media site a respondent has come from, the condition a respondent was assigned to in a research study, previously gathered information from a contact list so that data will be available for analysis.
Thanks Kate. I have been trying to use the Quatrics analysis interface as if it was something like Stata or R. I see now that there are constraints on what the system "sees" and it isn't possible to load or recode or compute new values for analysis in the Qualtrics analysis interface without meeting some very strict conditions (that are not particularly clear in the docs). I am probably trying to push the envelope. I have no trouble using the data I export - the problems arise when I want to do some things that the system is not designed to do.
