Choice filter on specific option selection

Support

1. What is the problem? Be very detailed.
I have a question with 10 statement with select_one option 1 to 5
and
second question is top 3 ranking

Statement A 1 2 3 4 5
Statement B 1 2 3 4 5
Statement C 1 2 3 4 5
Statement D 1 2 3 4 5
Statement E 1 2 3 4 5
Statement F 1 2 3 4 5
Statement G 1 2 3 4 5
Statement H 1 2 3 4 5
Statement I 1 2 3 4 5
Statement J 1 2 3 4 5

if i select option 4 or 5 in any statment then this statment should shown as option in next question. i.e i select 4/5 in statement A, B, E, J

then these statement should be shown as option in next question for ranking

how could i achieve this...

Hello @noman.s2325 ,

Not sure if it's just me... but i find the illustration of the problem hard to understanding. i.e.: ranking would use select_multple instead of select_one, etc...

It would more helpful if you share a draft of your xlsform for a better understanding of the questions layout, and only then one might be able to best guide how the filters can be established

Best,
Jules R

Try something like this:

  • Have a calculate field that contains all statements where 4 or 5 have been selected. You could use a formula like:

    concat(
  if(${StatementA} >= 4, "StatementA", ""),
  "|",
  if(${StatementB} >= 4, "StatementB", ""),
  ...
)

    That calculate field will contain a pipe-separated list of all applicable answers, for example it could be StatementA||||||StatementG|||StatementJ.

  • In your top 3 ranking question, use a choice_filter that says something like:

    contains(${ApplicableAnswers}, name)

You could use three separate questions for the top 3 (first choice, second choice, third choice), and have a validation that checks whether they are different. And a relevant clause that hides a question if a user selected fewer than one/two/three values.

I haven't tested this answer, but I hope it will be enough to get you started.
