Hi there, I do have a question regarding the text analysis tool and reporting options in the RC. We want to use the text analysis tool to code open answers and it works super well. I also noticed that I can display the shares in the reporting section. However, I was wondering if it is possible to convert the "topics" into numeric values to use it for further analysis/ in the crosstabs section etc. I tried to create a new variable by bucketing the recoded values into a new variable. Unfortunately, even though I have just numbers in there, it's still a string variable. Is there any option/workaround to tackle this? Looking forward to your feedback.

You can try creating an embedded data by using custom field creation and assign a numeric value to it based on the topic variable and i hope you can use that embedded data in the crosstab. Here is the documentation:https://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/data-and-analysis-module/data/add-new-fields/manual-variables/

Generally when we do OE verbatims coding we provides numeric values or codes to responses and than we group to give them NETs.It is not possible to convert topics to numeric codes as they are like NET only and are textual.
