We use Math operation in this scenario. Assuming all your questions included in calculation are force response you can use selected choice code in the formula. Once all the segment value is calculated use the method mentioned in the post you have mentioned in the question.
Also, similarly we can also use JS in this scenario, like capturing all selected choice code in variable and then doing calculations on it. The results are stored in embedded data.

Hi!!

i have done this with math operations in the embedded data, with this i assign a result for each of the segments. and then i create multiple branches to give a value to the final segment.

The branch would say: if segment 1 is greater than the piped text for sgement 2

final segment= segment 1

Unfortunately they're not all force response, but if one particular field is missing, I'd just want the segment to be NA.
Thank you both for your responses!

https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/comment/24809#Comment_24809Hi again ana_velez_voce - I've assigned each of my segments, and now I'm struggling a bit with the second part. Are you able to compare two objects like that? When I select if segment1 is greater than, the comparison it gives me has to be typed in - not sure how to compare it to another object
