Congratulations on your first post @jedsilver! We're glad you're here. When you get a chance, please consider also [introducing yourself on this forum thread](https://forum.getodk.org/t/-/6671). I'd also encourage you to add a picture as your avatar because it helps build community!

I thought about your question for a while and can't think of a way to make it happen. The function you're asking about isn't one of the available form operators and functions, and not part of [searching and matching strings](https://docs.getodk.org/form-operators-functions/#searching-and-matching-strings).

Can you provide any more details about the specific questions and option sets you're working with? Maybe someone has a clever suggestion for redesigning the questions to get the same information a different way?
