Variable substitutions (case 8030)

[Cory]

Yes, a multiple response item. I have "write as text" checked, which I thought would do it, but it doesn't seem to.

Hi Cory,

You can't directly display the choices from a multiple response item in the wording of subsequent questions; that only works for scale or fill-in-the-blank items (as you found out). If you wanted to use participants' choices from a multiple response item, you could try using a resonses.xls file. That way, you can create a calculate variable that would use the input from the relevant choices of the multiple response items to display the kind of response you would like. Take a look at the Advanced Features section of the MediaLab manual for information about how to use the responses.xls file and let me know if you have any questions.
