Limit answers in a dual Array was created by danzone
Dear all, I'm setting up a survey and I need to setup a dual array question (with just an answer for each column), with a contraint: limiting the number of answers to three.
Would I use a simple array, no problem: I could use a validation equation as follow:
Code:
countifop("==", "A1", OpzioniStrategiche_SQ001, OpzioniStrategiche_SQ002, OpzioniStrategiche_SQ003, OpzioniStrategiche_SQ004, OpzioniStrategiche_SQ005, OpzioniStrategiche_SQ006, OpzioniStrategiche_SQ007, OpzioniStrategiche_SQ008, OpzioniStrategiche_SQ009) <= 3 &amp;&amp; countifop("==", "A2", OpzioniStrategiche_SQ001, OpzioniStrategiche_SQ002, OpzioniStrategiche_SQ003, OpzioniStrategiche_SQ004, OpzioniStrategiche_SQ005, OpzioniStrategiche_SQ006, OpzioniStrategiche_SQ007, OpzioniStrategiche_SQ008, OpzioniStrategiche_SQ009)) <= 3

But the dual array seems not to have the possibility to specify a validation equation, so maybe the only possible solution is to write some Javascript code.

The kind of question I need to implement is drafted in the attachment.

Should I select another solution/question type?

How about array-by-column?

Well actually my needs are to have two columns, and possible answers in each column shouldn't be no more than three. It is a "forecast" question: "what do you expect in the next 5 years" and "what do you expect in the next 10 years". I have to admit that I am a Limesurvey newbie :) Attached a new layout for my question (I realized that the one I posted yesterday doesn't represent my needs correctly).

But maybe I found the way: an Array Number with the checkbox option. I'm going to try this, and I will be back to report whether I succeded or not.

OK, solved it. Array Numbers, with the checkbox option did the job. Attached you can find my solution, in case it would be useful for others.

The validation equation, at sub-question level, is:
Code:
countifop("==", "1", OpzStrategInnovaz_SQY001_SQX001, OpzStrategInnovaz_SQY002_SQX001, OpzStrategInnovaz_SQY003_SQX001,  OpzStrategInnovaz_SQY004_SQX001,  OpzStrategInnovaz_SQY005_SQX001,  OpzStrategInnovaz_SQY006_SQX001,  OpzStrategInnovaz_SQY007_SQX001,  OpzStrategInnovaz_SQY008_SQX001, OpzStrategInnovaz_SQY009_SQX001) <= 3 &amp;&amp; countifop("==", "1", OpzStrategInnovaz_SQY001_SQX002,  OpzStrategInnovaz_SQY002_SQX002, OpzStrategInnovaz_SQY003_SQX002, OpzStrategInnovaz_SQY004_SQX002,  OpzStrategInnovaz_SQY005_SQX002,  OpzStrategInnovaz_SQY006_SQX002, OpzStrategInnovaz_SQY007_SQX002, OpzStrategInnovaz_SQY008_SQX002,  OpzStrategInnovaz_SQY009_SQX002) <= 3
