Data preparation: How to categorize user Text answers | XM Community
Skip to main content
One of the questions in our survey gave the user multiple choice answers, aswell as an extra text based answer possiblility.

Now for the data evaluation I would like to add some of the user text answers to the existing multiple choice answers (ex. What is your highest educaiton. Multiple choice option:"Master". Answer given by user:"2 Masters") or create new one (Answer given by user:"PHD". I would like to add this as a category).

Is this possible in qualtics?
Hi!



i have always taken this as 2 different things. I use a widget for the multiple choice options and then a different widget for the other options categorized and in a word clod. I think there is no way to combine both. You can always create a embedded data field from the answer and record the selected option, and if the option is other create some rules to categorize the possible answers, but i think this can get really messy and many answers can scape the categorization
