I was wondering if anyone could give any hints about how to achieve this:
I'm trying to set up a phone screen with two questions, one a numeric
value, and one a select-one option as an error code:
The screen looks a bit like this:
···
***
How much did you spend on petrol in the last 7 days?
[Decimal input]
If not answered...
[]refused to answer
[]does not know
My problem is that I'd like to make it a requirement that the interviewer
give a result to ONE of the questions - so they must EITHER give a number
input for how much was spent on petrol, OR give an error code, and the
phone won't let the interview continue until one of these answers is
completed.
I've set up the survey now so the phone won't accept answers to both
questions, but I can't work out how to ensure that one of these questions
is answered.
Thanks for the suggestions! I've switched to having 'doesn't know' on a
separate screen and making that conditional. It works great. Thanks.

To expand: first answer is something like "has an answer " followed by the two others. Then a new question, relevant only if the respondent has an answer, collects the actual amount.
The dependent question cannot be on the same screen as the first question.

Another approach would have one question collect all these responses and use a place holder value like -99.0 or something like that to be entered when not applicable and make the question required and on the relevant you would make it accept this value or the proper positive range .you would also put these instructions as a hint and through training address how to complete this. I used to handle questions the way you said in MS Access forms so switching to ODK that's what we are doing now without problems
