Hello,

I am trying to do a cell-based weighting distribution based on respondent’s state location state. I imported the state location and programmed it into the survey as embedded data. I’m able to populate this embedded data everywhere except the weighting tab in Qualtrics for some reason. I tried playing around with the variable setting and converting the data type of this variable into numbers, categories, recoded the values to run numeric calculations, and none have worked. Please advise! Thanks in advance!

According to this support article, infinite values are not able to be used to apply weighting, so if you have the embedded field set as a text entry field, it will not work. However, if you set it to a text set type, you should be able to apply weights.
