Hi

My first post to the forum.

We have been using Limesurvey for some months to create our surveys, but we reached a point where we might need some help. We have a question designed as an Array (text) with 12 subquestions (Y range) and 7 options (X range). in this question the user has to select at least one of the 7 options on each subquestion.

What would be the best way to validate at least one selection per option? Or is there a better way to design the question by changing its type?

Any help is appreciated.

This should be doable by using the expression manager and using the COUNT() statement.

Thanks, it clarifies a bit, but I am struggling to find the right syntax and location:

- I am using
count(lte_A_1, lte_A_2, lte_A_3, lte_A_4, lte_A_5, lte_A_6, lte_A_7) >= 1

where lte_A is one of the subquestions (Y scale) on the array and 1-7 are the text boxes on the X scale. I tried only for the first subquestion and it accepted an empty input when the I put this validation rule on the Question validation.

- when I use the same rule in the subquestion validation box the survey is not submitted even with more than one options selected.

BTW, we are intending to use X and the text entered in the array boxes.

Thanks a lot

I was missing the question id before the Y scale IDs. That solved and the counts are working fine now.

Thanks a lot
