Welcome to the LimeSurvey Community Forum

Hi,
why didn't you answer the questions at the beginning?

Without further explanation from your side I'd say this is a simple "array(text)"

Maybe you want to have some predefined answers and want to use drop-downs.
If so, there are "hundreds" of examples in the forum.
Like here (lss with several examples)
[url] forums.limesurvey.org/forum/can-i-do-thi...a-array-texts#189538 [/url]

and here (with a multiple option)
[url] forums.limesurvey.org/index.php/forum/ca...list-in-array#239339 [/url]

But it is a bit useless to guess what you are really trying to achieve.
Please, explain more detailled.

Joffm


 

So, you want something like this
 

Please, see here
[url] forums.limesurvey.org/index.php/forum/ca...down-box-within-text [/url]

But to be honest: I do not understand your question.
There is only one dropdown, but this gives many senseless phrases, like
"What how your job?"
"What New York your job?"

Please, explain more detailled what you expect the participants to do?

==================
Hello everyone,
Is someone knows what can I do this table form with limesurvey ?
Thanks for your help.

There's one more thing I wanted to ask. Can I restrict user from adding more rows after a certain number. Like, let's say they entered 5 total number of employees. Can I do something so that after entering name of 5 members they cannot add any using the add row button?

That works perfectly. !
I'm quite new to this and my survey wasn't active yet so I only realized that the textbox won't work after you pointed that out. I should've known.
Using the array text with dropdown is an excellent approach, I'm gonna use this one instead.
Thank you so much!

Here a screenshot of my last proposal.

Array(text) with dopdown cells, dynamic insertion of rows and customized column widths





 

Joffm

Hi
This script is meant for array(text).

So stay to your solution to show the next row when one row is completed. (or adapt the script)

But as I asked before, how do you insert the text inputs.
As you do it now it will never work. How do you store the input?
But there is another example in the forum
[url] forums.limesurvey.org/index.php/forum/ca...ith-radiolist#223422 [/url]

Another idea:
Use an array(text)
First column you enter the text
Second column you display a dropdown with the options.

There are many exampüles in the forum how to insert dropdowns in an array(texct)


And:
Do NOT change {QID}
This is a Limesurvey variable that always contains the actual question ID.
What you entered is the question CODE, quite different

​​​​Thank you for the very quick reply !
This is the code you provided.


$(document).ready(function() {
    // A function to add or remove rows of an Array (Multi Flexible)(Text) question
    function varLengthArray(qID) {
      if ($('#question'+qID+'').length > 0) {
        // The HTML content of the Add/Remove elements - modify as you wish
        var addContent = '[+] add row';
        var removeContent = '[-] remove row';
        // Create the Add and Remove elements & insert them
        var el1 = document.createElement('div');
        el1.setAttribute('id','addButton'+qID);
        el1.setAttribute('class','btn btn-primary');
        document.body.appendChild(el1);
        var el2 = document.createElement('div');
        el2.setAttribute('id','removeButton'+qID);
        el2.setAttribute('class','btn btn-primary');
        document.body.appendChild(el2);
        // Move them to after the array
        $( 'div#addButton'+qID ).appendTo($( '#question' + qID + ' table.ls-answers' ).parent());
        $( 'div#removeButton'+qID ).appendTo($( '#question' + qID + ' table.ls-answers' ).parent());
        // Insert their HTML
        $( 'div#addButton'+qID ).html( addContent );
        $( 'div#removeButton'+qID ).html( removeContent );
        // Style the elements - you can modify here if you wish
        $( 'div#addButton'+qID ).css({

          $( arrayRow + '[name="hidden"]:first' ).attr('name', 'visible').show();
          $( 'div#removeButton'+qID ).show();
          if ( $( arrayRow + ':eq(' + rowCount + ')' ).attr('name') == 'visible' )  {
            $( 'div#addButton'+qID ).hide();
          }
        }
        // Function to remove a row, also clears the contents of the removed row,

        // Just some initialization stuff

        var rowCount = '';
        // Initially hide all except first row or any rows with populated inputs
        $( arrayRow ).each(function(i) {
          if ( i > 0 ) {
            // We also need to give the hidden rows a name cause IE doesn't
            // recognize jQuery :visible selector consistently
            $( this ).attr('name', 'hidden').hide();
            $('input[type=text]', this).each(function(i) {
              if ($(this).attr('value') != '') {

                $( 'div#removeButton'+qID ).show();
              }
            });
            rowCount = i;
          }
        });
      }
    }
    // Call the function with a question ID
    varLengthArray({QID});
  });
</script>


I tried the code you provided in that link and also added the relevance equation and these are the issues.

1. The relevance equation separately work fine, when one subquestion's radio button is clicked another question automatically appears.
2. When I paste the code exactly. the buttons do appear. When add button is clicked the remove button appears as well. However, it does not actually add or remove any subquestions and the subquestions are just displaying the behavior I mentioned in first point. They are appearing when one subquestion is not empty due to the relevance eq and not the buttons themselves.
3. when I change this line [varLengthArray({QID});] and add my question's id which is G04Q17, the buttons disappear as well.

You have introduced me to an even bigger problem by asking this question below, because after your response I made a sample survey and made another question in similar format, activated it and discovered that the textbox does not actually return any responses. I had only added this line [ <input type="textbox"> ] in my subquestion. That's why I didn't think I needed to add the code. I have attached a sample.

But you did not show us which script you used to insert the text boxes.

      

Hi,
maybe this is helpful
[url] forums.limesurvey.org/index.php/forum/de...o-add-new-answer-row [/url]

But you did not show us which script you used to insert the text boxes.

In such cases it is always the best to create a small sample of your work and send the lss export,
This helps us to understand better what you intend and what you did so far.

Hello, 
I'm using an array question type where I have made the subquestion for entering name of a group of people while they can select their qualification from the radio buttons in the Answer Options. I'll attach a picture so you can get the idea of what I'm talking about. 
Now, since I want to add name and qualification of people in the survey, I want that the subquestion could be added at the time of survey like we add tasks in a to do list where we can add new task or delete it. Similarly, I want that the user can add names and qualification of all staff members.
If this cannot be implemented,
The number of entries to be added actually depends on a previous question where I am asking the number of staff members.
There is a maximum number of members. 

Even if I add subquestion with textbox for lets say 20 people but the entry done at the time of survey of staff members is only 10 then I want the other 10 extra subquestions to be hidden from user when they get to that part of survey. It should be according to the answer of the previous question asking the number of staff members.
Can any of this be done with Limesurvey. Is there a feature or add on that I can refer to ?
I'm using a self-hosted limesurvey that is offline.
This is my version : LimeSurvey Community Edition Version 6.1.5+230626
Please tell me if you need any other information.

 

There must be something more to it,

No, it is not.
.
Here a multiple numerical question to enter same values
 
and the result
 

But how do you expect us to help, if you only say "without success" or "the graph does not load"?
Show us what you are doing.
Send a lss export of the relevant questions.
 

It worked flawlessly Joffm! Huge thanks!

Hi,
read the manual about implemented functions
[url] manual.limesurvey.org/ExpressionScript_-...mplemented_functions [/url]
where you find the functions "count()" and  "countif()"

Now your equation will count each of your 5 answer options, like
countif("1",that.G01Q02.NAOK)
countif("2",that.G01Q02.NAOK)
...

If one of these counts is equal to  5, or more general (that it matches each number of subquestions) to "count(that.G01Q02)" you set the result to 1, else to 0.
And set your quota on this equation.

So:
{if(countif("1",that.G01Q02.NAOK)==count(that.G01Q02.NAOK) or countif("2",that.G01Q02.NAOK)==count(that.G01Q02.NAOK) or countif("3",that.G01Q02.NAOK)==count(that.G01Q02.NAOK) or countif("4",that.G01Q02.NAOK)==count(that.G01Q02.NAOK) or countif("5",that.G01Q02.NAOK)==count(that.G01Q02.NAOK),1,0)} 

Of course, you should use numerical codes- as I did. In your analysis you usually want to calculate some statistical measures, like mean, std.deviation, etc and also run some tests, like t-Test or ANOVA.
And really: the mean of "AO01" and "AO04" is not "AO02.5".
