Hello,

For my survey I had 6 conditions where I wanted to show a different image to each group so I randomly assigned the participants to the 6 conditions. I created the equation {rand(1,6)} and then for each image, in the relevance equation box I assigned a number from 1 to 6 writing ((random==1)).

The survey was working perfectly fine but when I did a test-run, I saw that the numbers are not matching. For example, if I see the image numbered 3 in the survey, it should be written 3 in the answers when I export it. However, for the same image 3, sometimes it's written 4 and sometimes 6 in the answers section for {rand(1,6)}.

How can I know which participant saw which image if the numbers are not matching? Is there a solution for make them match?

Hi,
if you do not show us your logic we can not help.

But I suppose you display "group by group" and create the random number in the group where you use it.

As in EXCEL the random number is changed each time the page is loaded.

So.
1. Create your random number(s) outside the group where it is used.
2. Instead of the plain {rand(x,y)} use the construct
{if(is_empty(randomnumber),rand(x,y),randomnumber)}
Meaning: If the random number is still empty, create one, else leave it as it is.
