Zahra,
There's no easy way around this. Skipped questions are, in
XForms-speak, not relevant and so that data is not sent to the
server.One workaround to this problem is to make questions required and have
your users enter whatever null value (e.g., 999) you'd like. With this
method, if an answer is blank, then it was skipped. If it's 999, then
the user chose not to answer.Yaw

I have an XLS where i have a a skipped question i was wondering if there is an ODK syntax to auto fill an automatically skipped question with a code like 999? to differentiate between a skipped question and a question that i have chosen not to answer (missing data).
i tried using a default value for skipped questions but default value disappears when i skip and unskip the question it replaces the default value to an empty string
For data analysis purposes i need that differentiation between the two scenarios
Can anyone help me with this?
i have attached the XLS that i am working with for your referral

Sorry for hijacking this thread, I have a similar question. I have a calculation that calculates a score (Simple addition of a few non required fields)
By adding a default value to these questions which may be skipped, will the calculation still work? I do not need to data/default values for these items to be sent to the server but i do however need to be able to calculate the score and send the value to the server.
