How to recode the values of non-numbers? | XM Community
Skip to main content

In qualtrics, I know how to recode if the values are numbers. But currently I have a question: what state are you live in the U.S.? So there are 50 states. And what I want recode is AL, AK, AZ,... These are letters not numbers. I don't know how to do.

In the Data & Analysis tab, you can use the Field Editor to create a new field in your data. Set the new field to equal the abbreviation for each state found in the original field.

It will create a new variable in your dataset with state abbreviation.


I didn't figure it out. This is my attempt. But this doesn't work.

Can you provide a little more detail about the result? What do the data in your new state abbreviation field look like?
