Hi @Melkiory
all you need is make that question Relevant, https://docs.getodk.org/form-logic/#relevants if one of previous answers was empty. If the docs I linked is not enough you should be able to find a lot similar problems on this forum.

I have got the code from certain thread around the forum

Test for empty questions with ${var} = ''.
code by @yanokwa but they are not working at all

If it doesn't work that means you made a mistake somewhere. You can attach your form because otherwise it;s difficult to tell what's wrong.

The expression you use in relevant is wrong: ${Q11}=". it's one double quote and dot? It should be like ${Q11}="".

So still you have a dot after the expression ${Q11}=" ". and redundant space between "", please get rid of it and try again.

Still because of a dot you have at the end of the expression it's visible even in the screenshot you attached.
