Question
Can I create a single embedded data variable using answers to diff questions for diff respondents?
I have a survey of students whereby I ask questions to find out which group they best belong in. Then, each group sees the question wording to determine their major that makes the most sense for those students. Therefore I have five questions capturing basically the same info (major), but each respondent only sees and answers one of them. I want to create an embedded data variable called major that draws on different questions depending on the person. So let's say, for a simple example:
Group / Question capturing major
1 / Q2
2 / Q3
3 / Q4
So I can easily set 3 embedded data variables such as major1, major2, major3 that is their answers to Q2, 3, and 4 respectively. But what I want to do is create an embedded data variable called major that is the answer to Q2 if you're in group 1, the answer to Q3 if you are in group 2, etc. That way I can pipe their major into subsequent questions by using that one single variable. (E.G. why did you choose to major in PIPE ANSWER?)
Alternatively, it would also work if I create various embedded data variables, but can pipe in either major1, major2, major3 to a single question later on.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thank you.
