We have set up a matrix question. In order to make it mobile friendly, the likert scale is designed as drop-down and the scale values have been coded as numbers (1-5). After we collected some test responses, it is impossible to calculate means in Stats iQ, even by changing the variable settings. Can anyone support?

I think I'm having this same problem. Are your variables showing up as Categorical in Stats iQ? That's what mine are doing, and I get an error message after trying to switch variable settings to numeric. The workaround I'm currently using is to utilize the "create or clean variable" option to go in and physically recode each variable as numeric 1-5. Then I can use these recoded variables in the tool to get means. However, this is a tedious and - I would imagine - error-prone process, so would love to hear from others as well.
Is there a less tedious way to make the change? All of my ratings are showing as categorical. 'Cleaning' all of them would be A LOT of clicking.
