Types multiple responses within the matrix question | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hi

I am trying to create a matrix question with 8 scale points (1-8 columns) and say 8 rows. I need to segregate this matrix (1-3 columns), then (4-6) and finally (7-8) columns. I want radio button selection for first section (column 1-3) and then multiple selection option for remaining two sections (column 4-8). 
How can I do that ? I am really in need of urgent help. 

Hi @FALali This may be possible with Javascript code but within Qualtrics it can be done with custom validation.
 

Lets imagine this is your matrix 8x8 question.
For statement 1 you will need to create 4 such logic condition sets and then repeat this for remaining 7 statements.
It can prove to be lengthy but it is easy to understand!​​​​​

END!

For remaining 7 statements do I need to start with “AND IF” or “OR IF” condition?

I tried setting up these statements but it is still not working. it is allowing users to select multiple options for first three columns. I want that respondents should be able to select only one choice from first 3 columns and then he should be able to select multiple choices from column 4 to 8. 

 

 

@FALali it will allow them to select but not able to move forward and throw an error message. you can customize the error message saying ‘please select any one value out of first 3 columns’, or anything that is suitable for your use case.

it is not even throwing any error message once I move forward. 

@FALali please send screenshots of your whole validation setup.

I split the question into 3 sub questions and then put the display logic in question 2 and 3

@FALali,

What you described can be done with a side-by-side question with three columns.
