Description

Issue/Introduction
This article details how to set up a conditional input in Statistica's Web Data Entry (WDE)
Resolution
Yes. However, in order to achieve this, you would need to use a Label. This is due to the fact that data entry is numeric in nature, and therefore cannot return an alphanumeric, or string. The Label object is defined as alphanumeric and will allow both reference numeric values and "N/A" values.
