Good afternoon.For my master thesis, I want school teachers to answer my survey. In my country every school has a specific identification number, e.g. 48593745 or AX4586FG4.I want to know which teachers come from the same school (so they should enter their school identification number) so that I can analyze their data together, as a package. Now, for data protection purposes and to make sure the respondents stay anonymous, I am not allowed to see their school identification number, because that could identify special individuals. E.g. if somebody states he is principal, and obviously every school only has one principal, and I see the school ID, then I could look up who exactly the response came from. Thus, I want qualtrics to generate another number, when the school ID is entered and replace it with the original school ID.Everybody from the same school should be assigned the same generated number by qualtrics. At the same time, no teachers from different schools, are allowed to be assigned the same number.E.g. let's say 2 people state they come from school with the ID 48593745; and 10 people state they come from school AX4586FG4; and 5 people state they come from school PBZGHJTFD.Then I want qualtrics to do the following in my variable "school ID":Instead of showing me 2 times the number 48593745, it should show me 2 times the number "1"Instead of showing me 10 times the number AX4586FG4, it should show me 10 times the number "2"Instead of showing me 5 times the number PBZGHJTFD, it should show me 5 times the number "3"On the qualtrics support page on randomizing ID's, I only found how to randomnly assign every single individual with a random ID. But obviously that is not what I want. I want every GROUP/school to have the same ID.If you know a way I would be thankful. Maybe there is a simple solution embedded into qualtrics already, and I just haven't found it yet. I don't have any coding knowlege, so if you have a suggestion that involves complicated coding, I'm afraid that wouldn't work for me. Thank you and best wishes.

It appears that you are trying to achieve a one to one mapping, but just want to change the value of the identifier. How does let the response be anonymous? Say you map abc to 1 and xyz to 2 and so one. Now instead of principal for abc, you'll see principal for 1, and because it's fixed, anyone could just reverse it. If you're the only one with access to the data and survey, then just make the changes after you've downloaded the data set.
