Hi @pmBristol 

You can create a new variable in qualtrics that indicates the order in which the participants saw the questions. For example, you can create a variable named "Order" and assign it a value of 1 for the group of participants who answered the questions in block A first, and a value of 2 for the group of participants who answered the questions in block B first.

Then you can use this variable to filter the results/analysis in qualtrics.

thanks a ton, I did not know that I could create variables - however I had a look, and it seems like there is no way for me to build a formula based on the order in which participants saw the blocks, unless I do this manually for each  participants by looking at each entry, which of course defeats the purpose.

In other words, there seems to be no field corresponding to the order in which the questions/blocks were seen by respondents (though I can download that information when exporting the dataset), so I cannot create the variable: or am I missing something? 

Many thanks for your help!

The randomizer should look something like below and then we can use ‘Order’ embedded data to filter the respondent.

thanks very much - is the “set embedded data” part something I can add now (the survey has closed already)?

Thanks!

Sorry I misunderstood, I assumed the survey has not yet launched. But since we have aalready collected the data, the above approach won’t work.

In this scenario the only way to get the randomization order of the respondent is by checking option ‘Export viewing order data for randomized surveys’ while downloading the data.  This will provide an extra column in the export file to identify the order.

ok, thanks a ton, we live and learn - now I can at least put this into my next survey (I am running a series of them). I’ll go the “long” way around then, and thanks again!
