Hi community,
 
I’m facing an issue with scoring for one of my survey questions:
 
  • Assume the question has answer options A, B, C and Other (survey-taker can choose more than 1 of these options).
  • Ideally, I want them to be scored 1 point for each of the options they choose (including Other)
  • Currently, I’m not able to score Other unless I ascribe a condition to the response itself (e.g. response must contain “big” to be scored)

Bottomline: Is there a way to score the Other option as long as it’s selected? For instance, Excel recognizes “” as all-encompassing and includes all text.

@Roger Sharp - from a user here … who is staying up too late again trying to solve these types of challenges lol

i set up a quick test form here.. to try this out

it seems to work for me with the Other set to Contains (see image below) and you actually click the check mark beside the entry.. (i put in ‘my answer’ as the response to the other in the test that is shown in the results tab and it downloads the entries into a csv format (see image) .. 

 

hope that helps somewhat.. ??
