Hi
thanks a lot for jumping in!
Yes, I knew the cited article. (We generally search/read first, before posting.)
The requirement seems “normal”:
- We do a Household Roster (first repeat group)
- After this is finished, the enumerator will do Individual questions, ie. per HH member (2nd repeat). We create a person counter to link (together with a HH-ID), e.g. in SPSS, the persons to the HH. To make sure that the right person is enumerated, we also show the name. again.
With simple example attached you can see that the calculation code works behaving differently depending if you use a calculation TYPE or a text type. We were surprised and just want to understand why.
In the before attached example we copied both types and a filter to switch. This was just for easy demonstration of the different behaviour (instead of 2 xls).
Let me take the chance, please, to say that our optimistic requirements would even go further (and we would highly appreciate your advice, please): I post them in an additional topic… See Structure and navigation for KoBoCollect (HH Roster, Individual questionnaires, etc.).
Hopefully waiting for your feedback…
Kind regards
