Generate a random number using a previously generated random number?
Hey there! I am trying to generate a set of random numbers in a survey. I am using the embedded data so that I can store the random numbers because I will need them for analysis. I generate the first one as follows:
Number1 = ${rand://float/0:50}
And I am embedding this number into a question. Then I want to ask a question that calls a random number in the range of 0 to Number1. Something like this:
Number2 = ${rand://float/0:${e://Field/Number1}}
but all I get out when I call Number2 is '}'
Any thoughts? Thanks!

@jasonmaier,
You can't nest piped text, which means you can't make a Qualtrics rand pipe dynamic. You'll probably have to calculate Number2 in JavaScript.

Tom,
Thanks for replying. I figure out a way to do it. You can use piped text in Qualtrics web services as a query parameter. Seems a little long form, but a satisfactory work around. Thanks again.
