Question
How to use external data in question text, randomise it and reuse it.
As a Qualtics novice with a deadline, I'm hoping this might be a simple problem (although searching support, community and Google doesn't seem to have helped);
1. I'm trying to pull in a list of external names (can do this from a file, or a string of data), and display one of these names randomly in the question text.
2. I then need to display that same name in further questions.
Any help would be much appreciated.
+11What I would do for this is create a randomizer in your survey flow. At the beginning, declare an EmbeddedData field. For this example, we'll call it RandName
Then, under the randomizer, nest a branch for each of your names. Use your logic block to say something that is always true (like Question 1 is displayed) and under it, set the embedded data to a name.
For example, if Q1 is displayed, then RandName = Joe Smith.
Use the embedded data field RandName as Piped Text wherever you want the random name to appear.
Good luck and holler if you need more help!
