Calculated variables are commonly used in CAPI questionnaires to implement complex checks or indicate to the interviewer some derived information. For example, one may create a variable that calculates the number of children in the household,

numChildren = Persons.Count(person => person.age < 18)

and use this variable in subsequent questions to check if the number of children in a household  exceeds a specific threshold.

Starting with version 5.24 of Survey Solutions these variables will be automatically included in the export data. This is especially useful when the variables are dependent on random sequence of values generated by Survey Solutions, such as in the cases of random selection of respondents in households or enterprises. No special actions are required on the user side. After the upgrade the new data downloads will contain the calculated variables as part of the exported data. The variables are exported in the order they appear in the questionnaire.
