Conitional Logic on a select1 Question

Dear all,
I am creating a household survey which then has a sub-survey (read question
grouping) which is only relevant to female members within the household if
they are under the age of 49. My thinking was to create a "eligible" flag
against each household member which would be a select1 type question, but
it should be read-only and should default to 'yes' if the person is female
and below the age of 49 or default to 'no' if the person is not female or
above the age of 49. Then the number/count of these 'eligible' individuals
will be the basis for the jr:count value which defines how many times the
group of questions that are meant for women under the age of 49 within the
household should be repeated (i.e if there are 2 eligible women, then the
repeat group for questions for eligible women should loop twice).

I have attempted to do it with this binding below:

  <bind calculate="if(/xls_form_test/members/age &lt; 49 and 

/xls_form_test/members/gender='f'),'yes','no')"
nodeset="/xls_form_test/members/eligible" type="select1"/>

but on putting this through Validate, I get the error:

Invalid XPath expression [if(/xls_form_test/members/age < 49 and
/xls_form_test/members/gender='f'),'yes','no')]!

Could anyone let me know what I could be doing wrong? Would also be great
if I could know how this could be implemented via xlsforms. Am attaching

It's not compiling because you are missing an open parenthesis.

You wrote:

It should be:

Hello Yaw,
Thanks, that did the trick! I do have another add-on question though... As
mentioned earlier, I want to go into a household and

  1. Register all the household members
  2. Then for each *eligible *member ( 14 < age < 49 and gender = FEMALE), I
    want to ask a series of related questions.

Is it possible within the loop to display the name (or any other attribute)
of the eligible person as captured during step 1, the registration phase?

Thanks in advance,
Tumaini

Yes. You can refer to items inside a repeat. See indexed-repeat at

Hello Yaw, I have had a read, but I am not sure whether it will do what I
need. Quoted below from the link you sent:

References the field of the n-th repeat of a group. Groups and indices for
1 to 3 nested repeats can be specified. For example, the XLSForm calculate
expression "indexed-repeat(${name}, ${names}, 1)" will return the value of
the first "name" field inside a repeat group named "names".

However, following the above analogy, What I would like is the first
*name *inside
a repeat group called *names *where the attribute *eligible *= 'yes'.

The Usage column in the reference table on the webpage of the link you sent
to me shows:

indexed-repeat(field,group,index, subgroup,subidx, ssgrp,ssidx,...)

implying that the function can take more parameters than just the
field,group and index, as used in the first red-highlighted text above. But
without seeing an example of how I could use the function to pull the first
name from a group called names where the eligible attribute = yes, the
usage example shown in the second highlighted text is not helping me much
to achieve my goal so far? Not sure how clearly I have explained my
intention, but hope you can help.

Thanks in advance,
Tumaini

Hello Yaw,
Thanks, that did the trick! I do have another add-on question though...
As
mentioned earlier, I want to go into a household and

  1. Register all the household members
  2. Then for each eligible member ( 14 < age < 49 and gender = FEMALE), I
    want to ask a series of related questions.

Is it possible within the loop to display the name (or any other

of the eligible person as captured during step 1, the registration
phase?

Thanks in advance,

Tumaini,

I don't think you need more than the three parameters. What if you add
relevance on that node to make it relevant only when eligible is yes.
Wouldn't that work?
