Can I reverse code some items in a matrix table?

Hi everyone,
I've searched the forums and the FAQ, and still feel none the wiser.
I have a matrix table with 15 statements, and scales from 1("strongly agree") to 4 ( ("strongly agree"). For some of the statements, the scale works fine. But for some items, I need to reverse code them, so that 1 is 4 and 2 is 3 etc.
How can I reverse code just some of the statements in the matric table?

Any help would be very much appreciated.
😀

    I don't believe there is any built-in way to reverse the codes in a matrix. They would have to be part of a separate matrix or MC question to change the code.

      https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/42329#Comment_42329Thanks for that. That's a real pain. I don't want to have to create a separate matrix. I guess I just have to re-code them manually once I've got the data output/report?
