Hi all,
I am running my first study and prepared a survey. However, I realised that there are 4 matrix questions which have not been answered fully and I would like to edit the answer choices of the questions and omit some of the options (they are of no use to the study). I am aware that if I edit a question I would lose the existing data. Do you think saving the current results and report and then editing these questions may be a good idea to keep the data and achieve the desired change? Would it be hard to combine two different data sets? I have never done this before and I find it so hard to collect data and get my head around this. Please help! Thanks.

If you are looking to delete the option, i would not recommend it as you will lose the data. Instead hide that option via a choice based display logic something which will never come true, e.g. response=false
But if you're looking to edit the option you can do it and you wouldn't loose the data.
Hope it helps!
