Hi guys,

I apologize in advance if this question has been asked. I tried to look but could not find it.

I am designing a questionaire and in a matrix-question I want certain answer options only to pop up if a specific answer was given in a previous matrix-question.

I have been able to programm the matrix-qeustion so that the option pops up if the previous matrix-question was answered generally, but I only want it to pop up if a specific answer was chosen.

Let me illustrate:

Previous question:

How cool are cats? very cool cool not so cool


I want an answer-option in the following matrix-question to pop up only if "very cool" or "cool" was chosen, but not if "not so cool" was chosen.

So far I have this: "(( ! is_empty(118367X4X102SQ020)))" but, as mentioned, this lets the answer option in the following matrix-question pop up regardless of which option was chosen.

Can anyone help me out?

Hi picknicker,
could you please provide your LS version?

Generally: this is a common problem that was reported and discussed several times, but is still unresolved (also in the upcoming version 4).

Fortunately there are some javascript solutions and a plugin from DenisChenu as far as I know (but this depends on the LS version you are using).

Simplest way for you is to use the js plugin if yout LS version fits, if not I am using a js-script I will post if plugin does not fit.

You can use sub-question relevance but we cannot give an example without knowing the question/sub-question codes.

Thanks guys,

I am using Version 2.73.1

The question codes for the Previous questions are: question code - D3; subquestion code - SQ002; answeroptioncodes - A2 and A3

Main bugreport ID?

Found it: you will find the solution from Denis here:
extensions.sondages.pro/questions-updati...ing/hideemptycolumn/

But I don't know if its working with 2.73

Thanks for the link.
But it isn't a long time span for the LimeSurvey project

picknicker, are you trying to hide/show columns or rows of the array?

I am trying to hide rows

For rows you should be able to use the subquestion relevance box without a problem.

Please provide a LSS file with only the two questions that are relevant, so we can give you an example that works.

D3; subquestion code - SQ002; answeroptioncodes - A2 and A3

To hide a subquestion (NOT Answer option!!) in the following question you can use something like this:

If you would use 1,2 and 3 as answer options instead of the standard A1, A2, A3 it would be even easier:

So you want to get this


It's sufficient to set the relevance equation of the second question to the "good" condition:



You see that I used the codes "1", "2", ... instead of "A1, "A2",...
This way you could write "Q1_SQ001<3"; or if the 1st question is mandatory "Q1_SQ001!".

P.S. You confused the people by saying "answer options", but thinking of subquestions.
