Creating Embedded Data calculations for Multi-Select Question

Hello @Nogstai!

You can call with piped text each individual value from the matrix with a simple adjustment. 

For example if you want to obtain let’s say the selections from “Associate / Front-Line Employee)”, Qualtrics gives you the piped text ${q://QID23/SelectedAnswerRecode/1} and if the user selected “Access/View” (5) and “Change” (2), it’ll  return “5,2”.

Now, in the piped text you could add an index for each option. Something like ${q://QID23/SelectedAnswerRecode/1/1}.

That second index calls each one of the options in order. So: 

${q://QID23/SelectedAnswerRecode/1/1} would bring 0 (none)

${q://QID23/SelectedAnswerRecode/1/1} would bring 5 (access/view)

${q://QID23/SelectedAnswerRecode/1/1} would bring 2 (change)

And so on…

In this scenario you would end up with 50 embedded data (10 statements x 5 scale points)

And then you could use math operations to make the sum.

Hope this helps!

Hi @Nogstai ,

I recommend utilizing Qualtrics' "score" feature to achieve your desired result. Please refer to the following link for more information on how to use the score functionality.

Scoring In Qualtrics

To implement this for your question, you can follow these steps:

Simply create separate score variables for each option, and Qualtrics will automatically calculate the score based on the selected options. You can then use the score thus calculated by piping it anywhere you need within the survey as below :
 

Hope this resolves your query😊!
