Multiple response variables, also called multi-punch questions or MRVs, are questions for which respondents can select more than one answer. Many dataset formats represent the original options as individual variables instead of the "select all that apply" format in which the question was presented. In MarketSight, the multiple response user defined variable allows you to group these related variables together. Multiple response sets can also serve as the basis for grid questions in crosstabs.
The original underlying ("predecessor") variables cannot be deleted, as they provide the data for the Multiple Response variable to count. SPSS users should note that if they have Multiple Response Sets defined in their .sav file at the time of upload, those sets will be preserved within MarketSight and do not need to be recreated.
Count only values equal to [specify number]
In this scenario, the original multiple response variable was coded as a series of yes/no questions. We need to count the yes responses.
Count all values
In this scenario, the original question was coded as a series of options. We're interested in counting all respondents regardless of the values they selected.
