Setting up Loop & Merge in Qualtrics based on Displayed Choices in hidden question


I have around 100 items from which I want each participant to rate a random subset of 5 with the same set of questions, without getting messy data files with many blank cells at the end of the study.

This is my first time using Loop & Merge and I did manage to put in all my items using Field 1 and then the piped text etc., but I realised this cannot evenly present items, so I came across this solution about creating a hidden question first – but I don’t understand how/ where to update my loop to loop based on the Displayed Choices in my hidden question.

Other links and ChatGPT give replies based on the old interface so I am a little lost.

Could anyone please help with that?


Solution

  • You do it in the Loop & Merge setup: Loop and Merge based on displayed choices in a previous question
