==================
Dear Lime Community,
I am currently working on designing a conjoint table with two profiles. Respondents are asked to choose between one of the two profiles. The table is based on radomized variables. Because there is only a total of 18 profile options, there is a rather high likelihood that respondents will see two identical profiles. This is a situation, we want to avoid, because it does not make much sense to ask people about which option they prefer if the provided options are identical.
Is there a way in which we can "redraw" the random variables, when this happens? I am imagining a if-condition that specifies a condition in which all of the two randomization variables for each row of the table are equal. When this condition is met, all randomization variables should be drawn again, until the two options are different (i.e. there is at least one row, where the randomization variables are not equal to one another).
Below you'll find the table code. Apologies, if this issue has been adressed elsewhere already. This is my first forum post. If that is the case, please point me in the right direction. Thanks heaps!!
