Grouping "Other" text entries as new variables

Question

For a lot of our questions, we ask them to select all the medications they currently take and then provide them with an "Other" option that allows for them to enter text. We would like to then the most commonly entered other options as additional variables grouped with our provided options. I've tried to create variables, I've also looked at text IQ and stats IQ, I've looked at the support site and the community. I can't seem to find an answer and I'm not even entirely sure how to search for the answer for this.Thanks in advance.

Hi trelarosa ,If I understand your question, you're looking for a way in Qualtrics to add write-in responses automatically to the multiple choice options of a question when you report out the results? I have questions like that in my surveys from time to time, and have not found a way to combine the MC options with the write-ins in Qualtrics. I end up exporting the data from Qualtrics and using a tool like Excel to do something like that.
