Hi All - looking for some help

I am trying to create a matrix table with free text answers.

Is there a way I can repeat the headers on all statements but be able to custom each rows header to be different ?

At the moment each header is repeated exactly the same. Any suggestions welcomed, thanks so much !

Hello @Pea,

As per my knowledge, you can't make each row's header different when repeating headers in a matrix table. The headers stay the same to keep the scale points consistent.

Let me know if this helps.

Hi @Pea ,

As alternative, you can try creating multiple (1 statement) matrix questions with the first one having the text and diagram and leave the subsequence blank. Then, amend the various question’s heading.

 

Note:

This alternative will likely create some white spaces in between compared to just 1 matrix question with multiple statements. 

Also, when the number of scale points increase beyond a certain point, some of the scale points may not fit and will require respondents to scroll to the right.

Example
