I have a multiple-choice query, I assigned a value to each answer but it is not possible to assigning the same value to different answers and neither making a sum of single values assigned, even when those values are completely different one from another.
For example:
Answer a: value 0 (incorrect)
Answer b: value 1 (correct)
Answer c: value 3 (correct)
If the person chooses the two correct answers, he/she will have a total score of 4. But I do not know how to make that sum and it seems it is possible to have only a single value.
In addition, if I have the following:
Answer a: value 0 (incorrect)
Answer b: value 2 (correct at the same degree of answer c)
Answer c: value 2 (correct at the same degree of answer b)
Is seems that it is not possible to assign the same value to different answers.
Much appreciated any help for the two issues.

This is not possible as the name from the choices tab should be unique for that variable else you will see an error message. For more details, you could also have a look at the post discussed previously:
thank you very much for your support.
However, I tried to solve my first issue following your instructions but when I import the file the error message attached appears
There is a typo error with the use of coalesce. I could observe that you have used coalesce-at instead of coalesce.
Issue 2:
As said previously the name from the choices tab should be unique for that variable. Here i still see 2 being repeated twice as shown in the image below:
thanks a lot. I solved all issues, including that of assigning the same value to different answers which was my need because one answer of the test might be correct at the same degree of another one. Please, have a look at the file attached. MASTER_DEF_DEF.xlsx (26.6 KB)
My advise would be, please validate your results with some dummy entry before you start your real data collection (especially with the duplicate choices that you have managed forcefully with the allow_choice_duplicates settings yes under the settings tab).
yes, I did some dummy entry and it seems fine.
Would you advice not to do that?
In such a way I might have the following:
total score for correct answering: 4
for some questions, it is needed to select two correct answers (score: 2+2) to reach the total positive score of 4.
as far as now, it seems that it can be selected two options and reach the score of 4.
Not sure I well explained myself.
Thanks a lot, Natascia
Hi Stephane,
that Is a single choice query and It does work. Also for multiple choice queries It works with items with the same value by summing up the values and giving the Total score reached.
Do you think Is not correct my process?
Thank you
