Hi Everyone, 

Wondering if anyone can help please?

 

I have a question in my survey ‘How many children do you have?’ 

Based on their response I want all future questions to have the option for a response on how many children do you have?

So if the first question was does your child like carrots?

Child 1 - Y/N

Child 2 - Y/N

but if someone has 5 children, I would like it automatically give the option of answer the questions for 5 children.

 

Hi @BeckyBakr ,

 

You can create a Matrix Table where you can add rows till 10-15 (the maximum number you can expect). Then add display logic to each row:- 

For child 2 - Add display logic if Q1 is greater than 1 (Q1 is your open end to get the counts)

For child 3 - Add display logic if Q1 is greater than 2

.

.

For child 15 - Add display logic if Q1 is greater than 14

 

Hope this helps :)

Regards,

PD


Thanks PD, 

 

I will have a look at this. Will I need to apply this to every question? or just the initial how many children do you have?

 

Thanks

loop and merge would be good option, create a question where you ask how many children they have, based on number entered here you can ask question in loop and merge.


If the below questions type is same, you can simply copy the first question, the display logic will be there (as it is dependent on the same Q1 - How many children(s) do you have). Do thorough testing.

Thanks, and where do I find loop and merge option?

Best wishes

Its better to use loop & merge in your case and create questions based on number of child(s).


@BeckyBakr,

You can find the loop and merge option by clicking on the “block” (on the left frame):
