Using Embedded Data from a scored question in javascript

Question

Hi there,

I'm having some trouble getting my js code to work. I have used qualtrics' scoring feature to score some questions, and now want to use js to pull those scores to make some calculations. See the beginning of the code below:

var C2A;
	var C2;
	var C3;
	var C4;
	var C5;
	var C7;
	var C2A_troubleA;
	var asleep_bed;
	var PSQI_score; 
	var C1;
	var min_fall;
	var C6;
	var trouble_A;
	var hours_sleep;
	var hours_bed;
	var trouble_bj;
	var awake_enthus; 
	
	Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.getEmbeddedData("C1") ;
	Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.getEmbeddedData("min_fall") ;
	Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.getEmbeddedData("C6") ;
	Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.getEmbeddedData("trouble_A") ;
	Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.getEmbeddedData("hours_sleep") ;
	Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.getEmbeddedData("hours_bed") ;
	Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.getEmbeddedData("trouble_bj") ;
	Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.getEmbeddedData("awake_enthus") ;
	
	min_fall = parseFloat(min_fall) ;
	hours_sleep = parseFloat(hours_sleep) ;
	hours_bed = parseFloat(hours_bed) ;
	C1 = parseInt(C1)
	C6 = parseInt(C6)
	trouble_A = parseInt(trouble_A)
	trouble_bj = parseInt(trouble_bj)
	awake_enthus = parseInt(awake_enthus)
	
Where C1, min_fall, C6, trouble_A, hours_sleep, hours_bed, trouble_bj, awake_enthus have already been set in embedded data from question scores or text entry

However, for questions that were scored, I am having trouble. The score values do not seem to transfer over to the js code.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Hi @awall650 , did you try piping the scoing scores into an embedded data and then using `Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.getEmbeddedData("") ;` to get the value in that embedded data ?
