Skip to questionnaires

[jdill]

Thank you for your help with regard to the skip patterns. I also have some questions about calculated scores. I'm trying to have Medialab automatically choose the highest rated thought automatically during a particular condition, and then present that thought as stimuli at a later on. I've looked at the manual but can't quite figure it out.
Additionally, how would you apply a sound to indicate the presentation of a new instruction screen, is that possible?
Again, thank you. I appreciate all of the help.

The sound could be accomplished using a backsound (see user's guide or online here: http://www.empirisoft.com/medialab/h...ebacksound.htm).

As for determining the highest rated thought that, again, would have to be accomplished using Excel's conditional logic. Are you having any luck with that? Excel has some pretty good documentation on it (just search for if, then, etc. in Excel's help).

It's actually been a while since I've been able to work on this project. I did make some progress will excel's logic, but I had another question that maybe you could help me address. In my experiement I have five different sets of instructions all within one file, out of the first ten scale responses, the odd numbers will dictate which of these sets of instructions the participant skips to. I was able to have excel determine the variable with the highest rating by using a helper table.
I was wondering if there was a way to assign the variable names numeric values that are indepdent of the ratings the participants endorse during the experiment. In other words, when I look at the variables "respon3, respon5, respon7, respon9, respon11" and excel figures out that respon7 is the highest, is there a way to have those responses assigned numeric values 1-5 so that I can use a logic formula similar to this one:
=IF(B13=1,"Q1",IF(B13=2,"Q2",IF(B13=3,"Q3",IF(B13= 4,"Q4",IF(B13=5,"Q5")))))
