Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my question.

I have a question which asks users to pick a choice from a drop down list with 21 answers.
Depending on the answer, I want to give a score between 1 and 3. (score to be saved in DB)


I think it's possible to do this with a long 'if' statement, something like this (I have only put in the first 2 of 21 answers here):

1. Is there a better way of doing this than a long if statement?
2. The code above doesn't work - I have tried with and without the '
3. Rather than using the answer text in the Expression, is it possible to use the Answer code?

Many thanks for any help on this

Hi,
of course, you have to use the code.
And with only three different scores, it is something like:

{if(Q8==1 or Q8= or Q8==13,1,if(Q8==2 or Q8==4 or Q8==12,2,3))}

Best regards

Yes , you can www.limesurvey.org/manual/Expression_Man...onditional_Equations (see www.limesurvey.org/manual/images/1/1f/Tailoring9.jpg )

But with a lot of if, you can do someting like this :
