How to hide statements in Matrix Table based on choices made on a previous question | XM Community
Skip to main content

Dear community,
I am currently trying to solve the following problem: I have a Matrix Table question that asks for the importance of different criteria (rows) on a 7-point scale (columns; 1 = 'not at all important' to 7 = 'extremely important'). On the next question, I want to show another Matrix Table that only pulls in the criteria (rows) that the respondent considered as somewhat important, i.e., chose importance of 4,5,6, or 7 in the question before. Any idea how this can work?
Unfortunately there is no way to do this with carry forward and add display logic. I think it might be easiest to add a function to hide statements (rows) if the answer on the previous question was 1,2, or 3. Not sure how to do this though.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

We can do this with display logic on both - question 2 and statements of question 2. On question 2 add display logic if any of the row has selection 4,5,6 or 7. On statements of question 2, add display logic if respective statement in previous question has 4,5,6 or 7 scale point selected.


rondev Thank you very much, it worked. You can actually also use a single display logic: Once you make sure that the answer choices in the first question are recoded to numbers (e.g., 1-7), you can select a display logic to only show if value is 'greater or equal to' 4.

Again, thank you!
