If I have this question on Likert scale but I recoded the values and I want to make a variable embedding the data, I did this $e{ 50 + 10 * ((q://stress24/ChoiceRecodeValue + q://piling24/ChoiceRecodeValue + q://unable24/ChoiceRecodeValue + q://overwh24/ChoiceRecodeValue - 12.5740) / 4.73907)} but it did not correctly pull out the numbers.
for context its all in one question
Hi
QID doesn’t work that way, the export tag is just for exporting,
The correct way to use is “q://QID1/ChoiceRecodeValue” where the QID is Qualtrics set and shouldn’t be changed. I suggest you use the piped-text UI to cite the field exactly
Be aware of the space between each component in the math operation, it can cause trouble, it should be for example:
$e{ 50 + 10 * ( ( q://QID1/ChoiceRecodeValue + q://QID2/ChoiceRecodeValue + q://QID3/ChoiceRecodeValue + q://QID4/ChoiceRecodeValue - 12.5740 ) / 4.73907) }
The QID have to change to yours.
If you stumble into any problem, you can check the troubleshooting here: https://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/survey-module/editing-questions/piped-text/math-operations/#TroubleshootingMathOperations
