If you wanted just one item, then you could use ${q://QID6/ChoiceGroup/ChoiceWithLowestValue} to get the item that was ranked as #1. But I don't think you can get the top 2 items with piped text.
Instead, you could use the "Carry Forward Form Fields" feature. Click on settings to edit your text entry form question, and then click "Carry Forward Form Fields." If you set the logic to carry forward the items less than 3 from your rank question, then it will display only the items ranked #1 and #2 in your rank question. Will that work for you?

My problem is actually reverse of this. From a multi-choice question to rank order piping
Q1 is a MCQ (Last option is "Any Other" ___________)
Q2 is rank order
If they choose more than 2 responses in Q1 then show them Q2 to rank them. I want to pipe just the text in Q2 from the "Any Other" option in Q1

---

Leon24 So if your Q1 is a (multi-select) multiple choice question, and your Q2 is a rank order...
You could use "carry forward" still. I believe specifying "Selected Choices - Entered Text" instead of just "Selected Choices" should ensure that the text the respondent typed into the text entry box in Q1 is displayed in Q2.

Alternatively, you could use piped text and display logic for each item in Q2.
Your piped text would look something like this for each item except the text entry:

${q://QID13/ChoiceDescription/1}

(note that QID13 is the internal id numbering for my question - it'll probably be different for yours).
And the piped text for the text entry field would look something like this (again, the QID13 part will probably be different for you):

${q://QID13/ChoiceTextEntryValue/4}

Here's a screenshot of what the piped text would look like in the question. Each individual item should have display logic (beyond the overall display logic that shows/hides Q2).

Your display logic would look like this for every item except the text entry:

The display logic for the text entry choice would look like this (specifying "is not empty" rather than "is selected" would make sure that response choice only displays if the respondent actually typed something into the text entry box):

-----
And to be thorough... as you said in your original comment, Q2 should only display if somebody selected more than 1 response in Q1.... so where the selected count is greater than or equal to 2, as shown in the screenshot below.

Hope that does what you want!

lizb311 Thank you very much. This definitely works.

lizb311 Fundamentally the solution is working. However, when I am using rank order question you can see that I am not getting an option to code the responses individually like ${q://QID13/ChoiceTextEntryValue/4}, they are coming in as piped. Also, I cannot use the display logic for the text entry choice.

---

Leon24 Yeah, the carry forward doesn't work with display logic for individual response choice items. But you shouldn't need it. The piped text & display logic option I gave you was just a different way of doing the same thing that the carry forward does. You don't need to do both. I would keep the carry forward as you have it set up now. Is it working properly in the Survey Preview?

lizb311 Thanks, I tried and it works.
