Hi,

Using EM, how can I identify a specific answer in a matrix question?
Please see attachment: I have 3 questions (Q1, Q2, and Q3) with 4 possible answers (A1, A2, A3 and A4): which would be the identification of the twelve possible answers?

Thanks!

No attachement.

But to see how a question is setup and what the answeroptions look like, you would go for the "survey logic file", which will show you how a question is setup, which options it offers, etc.

In your case i assum that the subquestions are Q1, Q2 and Q3 or are this actual matrix questions?

As this is not clear, we will create an example here. Let us assume we have a matrix question "MQ1" with the subquestions A1, A2, A3. The scale is from 1-5.

So to get to the responses to subquestion A1, you will have to access the following: MQ1_A1.

Hi holch,

Thank you for your answer.



I would like to identify exactly each of the possible answers. With "MQ1_A1", in the equation {if(!is_empty(MQ1_A1),"True","False")} for any answer of the A1 row I have "True". How to get "True" only when the second column (Regular) is selected?

Regards,

True/false only works for multiple answer questions.

In your case the result of MQ1_A1 would be (depending on the code of the scale) probably 1,2,3 or 4 (depending on the code of the scale).

Let's assume "Insatsifactorio" is code 1, "regular" is code 2, etc.

So if you want to know if people answered "Regular" you need to do something like {if MQ1_A1 == 1}.

You can check what the outcome of this question is, when you look at the survey logic file. You can also add a text output question type and put the code MQ1_A1 in. You will see what happens when someone answers "regular" for this question. I do this when I am not sure what the outcome would be.

Thanks holch!
