Surveys often record multiple response questions in delimited lists where
each respondent's selections are separated by a delimiter like ;
or |
.
This function breaks the delimited responses into subvariables, uploads those
subvariables to Crunch, and finally creates a multiple response variable from
them.
makeMRFromText(
var,
delim,
name,
selected = "selected",
not_selected = "not_selected",
unanswered = NA,
...
)
