(Array Numbers – Text input) How to skip columns not checked in previous question?

Dear community and Support team! I really appreciate Limesurvey and think it’s one of the best survey online survey tools.
Could you help me with skipping columns not checked in previous question?
Example
Q1. Could you tell us in which classes you wrote papers last year? (Multiple choice, 22 options)
Q2. What kind of papers did you prepare for each class? (Array Numbers with Checkboxes)
(Axis X) Essay, Research paper, Coursework , Case study, Article review, Another type
Axis Y (List of classes from Q1)
Q3 Could you tell us the average time it took you to write your papers in your school? Please, indicate in day (Array Numbers with Text Inputs)
(Axis X) Essay, Research paper, Coursework , Case study, Article review, Another type
Axis Y (List of classes from Q2)
It’s Ok to show a list of Classes from Q2, but in Q3 Axis X there are always same options never mind the person ticked only one or two options for work type Essay or Case study in Q2 etc.
How to skip columns in Q3 which are not checked in previous question (Q2 or Q1)?

Hello, Artwork,
there are several posts about this.
Though in the subquestion editor there is a field to enter relevance in x-axis, it doesn't work.

But have a look at the plugin "hideemptycolumn". That will do it.

extensions.sondages.pro/hideemptycolumn-...y/documentation.html

Download the *.lss, import it into your LS installation and study how it works.

See the two screenshots:
1. The selection of columns and rows
columns 1,3,4
rows 3,4

2. the result

Attached the plugin

Hello Joffm,

thank you for your help! Should I insert any js code to question code after plugin upload? And does it work with Text/Number Inputs?

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate your help!

Hello, Artwork,
if you had imported the example (link in previous post) you would have seen that there is no JS code.

And also that it works with array(number) and array(text) as well.

Hello Joffm,

I have done so, and here is the results
www.advancedwriters.com/survey/index.php...x&sid=655577&lang=en

In my case there are some empty columns if I do not check some options
Look at the screenshot joxi.ru/brRKK5vhQ69ZRm

Thanks,

Did you activate the plugin?

Joffm

Yes, I did.

In test survey it works fine. But in mine survey it's not (. If in the previous question I choose only two options it shows me all 5 columns in the target question (look at the screenshot here joxi.ru/Y2LQQYvHnqZWMA )

I do not get why it doesn't work. Could you look through my survey file in attached file (the target questions are Q7 and Q8)? Thanks a lot!

Hello,

I think your question depends on " Could you tell us in which classes you wrote papers last year?"
and this one

So, what do you expect in question "Could you tell us the average time it took you to write your papers in"?
"Essay, coursework,case study and review"

To follow the way the plugin works IMO you have to fill a hidden multiple question with all checked types.
This question you can use in the plugin.

Furthermore I did not see anything like



What I'd recommend, is the easy way:
For each of the classes insert a question which you show by relevance.
In these question with multi numerical input ask the average time for each kind of paper (relevance according Q5)

sample attached (only for the first three classes)
