====== getValueText() ======

''string **getValueText**(string //variable//, int //answercode//, [string //format//]))''

The function ''getValueText()'' returns the verbal response (label) to an answer code. For a selection question, this is the text of the corresponding selection option (also determined with ''[[:en:create:functions:getitemtext|getItemtext()]]''). For a scale, the label (verbal anchorage) of the corresponding point on the scale is returned. 

  * //variable//\\ ID of the variable for which the label shall be generated.
  * //answercode//\\ (Numeric) answer code, whose verbal equivalent shall be generated.
  * //format// (optional)
    * ''%%'text'%%'' (standard) The label is returned as it appears in the questionnaire, placeholders are replaced.
    * ''%%'label'%%'' The label is returned as saved in the list of questions.

If no label exists for the //answercode// (e.g. for the intermediate value in a scale where only the extremes are labeled), the answer code is returned. 

**Tip:** The function ''[[:en:create:functions:value|value()]]'' returns the verbal representation of a response, if you specified '''text''' as the second parameter.
