How can I count the different values on one embedded data ?

Hello all,
To explain my question, I will take a small example:
Let' s say that in my survey, I collect one embedded data through the link which would be an animal specy.
For instance, I collect 5 answers:
Answer 1: Cat
Answer 2: Cat
Answer 3: Lion
Answer 4: Tiger
Answer 5: Tiger
What I would need is to create a data "Feline" that would automatically count the different type of species I collected. So in my case, Feline = 3 (Cat + Lion + Tiger).
Does anyone know if it's doable on Qualtrics ?

Thanks in advance

yes you can do this.

in the survey flow by using branches
countFeline = 0
if q1 selected choices == cat then countFeline =countFeline +1
if q1 selected choices == lion then countFeline =countFeline +1

if q1 selected choices == tiger then countFeline=countFeline +1

And can I generalize it ? Like increment the Feline value automatically everytime a new value (that I can't predict) appears on the embedded data ?

Hi there,

haven't had this requirement myself so far. But this is what I would try:
Use Text iQ in the survey flow and categorize possible inputs by topics
Text iQ-Powered Survey Flows
Then I would go for using these topics for the branches to increase the respective counters.
Hope this helps,
Best regards

Rudi

In the answer proposed here, will it not mark the embedded field as 1 everytime cat appears. It means if I use this field in dashboard, I would still get the count as 5 and not 3 right ?
