I’ve seen in some older forum post that note it is not possible, however I still want to ask in case there has been an update to the platform….
Is there any way to reverse code SOME items in a matrix table? I have about 10 items ranging on a Likert scale of 1 to 6. However, some of these items need to be reverse coded. Is there a function that allows me to do so?
Or do we have to manually reverse code after exporting the data?

Update: I’ve figured it out. You have to go into ‘survey options’ → ‘scoring’ → and then you are able to change the coding of each particular item in the matrix table!
+41You can create two separate questions on one page for first question for 1 to 6 rating scale items and second question from 6 to 1 rating scale items.
Else, you can create embedded field in for reverse rating options and can apply the branch logic and punch the value in embedded field if 6 is selected for first reverse rating option you can punch 1 in the back end. for 5 punch 2 and so on.
3rd option is to update the data. which you have already mentioned in you question.
+20Hi,
Above mentioned option will do the work. Else you refer to below post

Hello! I also tried this way, but I found that the recorded data failed to reverse scoring according to the settings in scoring.
+1Hi all,
whilst I can reverse score within the matrix in Qualtrics, when I export the preview data thereafter to excel, the reverse scoring does not translate over.
Is there a way to fix this?
