Dropdown within a multiple choice question? | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hi there!

I’m trying to add in a dropdown into a multiple choice response but not quite sure how to go about it. Below is the question and responses:

Q: “how many of each vehicle do you currently own?”

Multiple choice responses:

  • Petrol or diesel car (drop down options:1-5)
  • Hybrid car (drop down options:1-5)
  • Electric car (drop down options:1-5)
  • Motorbike (drop down options:1-5)
  • etc...

When I try to chance the format to ‘dropdown’ it just puts petrol car, hybrid car, electric car etc… into the drop down, rather than allowing me to do a drop down for just the number of those vehicles.

The only other thing I can think of is doing a text entry for each option so respondents can type in the number of those vehicles that they have? 

Does anyone know how to do a drop down within a multiple choice question?

Thanks in advance,

Sara 

Hello ​@Sara8J2,

you can use the Side by Side question type to list each vehicle type in a row, with a dropdown to choose how many are owned. Add a Side by Side question in your survey and set the rows as ‘Petrol or diesel car’, ‘Hybrid car’, ‘Electric car’ and ‘Motorbike’. Change the column type to Drop Down List and enter the numbers you want, such as 1–5.

Let me know if this helps.
 

Thanks ​@Sachin Nandikol, that worked but I also found out that you can use matrix tables and then change the answer type to dropdown list, which also works as well! 👍
