Issues with transform function

[Lknowles95]

Hoping for some advice with an error message using the transform function for my uni module.

Using Jamovi in cloud.

When using transform and using ‘add recode condition’ for if/ else…. If I input a word after ‘use’ I get an error message:
Either-
1) ‘word’ does not exist in data set - if using single word
Or
2) ‘word example’ the formula is misspecified- if using 2 words

I am using the word in ‘…’ as above
The function seems to work if I use a number but not words.
I have attached some examples if this helps!

hi,

if you want a recoded variable to take on a text value, you specify the text value with quotation marks; i.e. "word" or 'word'

if you want to refer to another variable, you surround them with backticks, i.e. `another variable`

if your case, you're using backticks rather than quotation marks.

cheers
