longstring enhancement

[awmeade]

Hi guys. A colleague reached out to me with an issue he's having. He had Qualtrics administer his survey in random order to each respondent. Qualtrics then helpfully puts the data in typical database order. However, that makes computing longstring problematic as the data order does not reflect the administration order. He's asked me to build a function that will put the data into the order of administration so that he can compute longstring (he isn't an R user so isn't using this package). I plan on writing something for him.... would it be useful to include something like this in this package? If so, I'm happy to share the function for you to add to the code base. --Adam

I have some function code ready to go that has been tested and is working. I also have a sample dataset to illustrate that came from qualitrics. Just let me know if this would be useful.
