# Recoding variables based on two questions

Hi all,
I was wondering if there's a way to automate several small tasks in my data analysis.
Let me give you an example:
In the surveys I normally run, one of the demographics we regularly monitor for is digital exclusion. But we can't ask people outright "are you digitally excluded?" so instead we ask two separate questions:

1. Do you have access to any of the following at home? (Desktop computer/ laptop/ tablet/ smartphone/ Internet at home (wi-fi, broadband)/ Internet on your phone)
2. How confident do you feel using the internet to access services?

So a person is digitally excluded if they have no device, or no internet, or they're not confident in accessing services. Normally I recode it in Excel using a formula (with AND and OR nested in IF) but I was wondering if there was a way to build this recoding into the setting up of the questions themselves. 

Do you have any ideas?

Hey! I don't think Alchemer has the answer logic capabilities for this yet. This is something I recently asked about in my onboarding call (as it's something I could achieve on FormAssembly). They let me know that an update was coming in August to introduce some of this functionality!
