Complicated skip sequences

Support
1

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for a way to do a complicated skip sequence in XLSForm.

The skip sequence (in boolean form) would be something like this:
(${q1}="yes" AND ${sex}="male") OR (${q1}="no" AND ${sex}="female})

Any thoughts on how I could do this?

Thank you.
Nicholai

That should work, just add the missing quotation mark, and take out the
extra curly bracket near the end of the statement:

(${q1}="yes" AND ${sex}="male") OR (${q1}="no" AND ${sex}="female"})

Sorry to bother again, but I keep getting an "Invalid XPath Expression" error for my skip sequence.

I tried typing this boolean expression into the relevant column:

(${h5a}="mainmale" AND ${sgender}="female") OR (${h5a}="mainfem" AND ${sgender}="male") OR ${h5a}="joint" OR ${h5a}="else" OR ${h5a}="jointelse" OR ${h5a}="jointother" OR ${h5a}="other"

I know it's a bit complicated...
Do I need to use different syntax? Or edit the xml file directly?

Thank you for the help.

Use the following syntax:

selected(${h5a}, "mainmale") AND selected(${sgender}, "female") ....

Add parentheses to ensure proper operator precedence and readability.

Thank you--- your suggestion worked.... but it also required using lower-case "and" and "or" expressions.

Best,
Nicholai
