Can you use logic to determine number of statements in a matrix table?

Question

I'm creating a question in which I ask respondents to give me a numeric response to a question (How many [x] do you have?). Based on the number they select, I'd like to populate that same number of statements in a matrix table where the respondent can provide further detail about each individual [x].

I've yet to figure out a way to do this. My workaround currently is that if a user selects 1-5 for [x], they'll see a matrix with up to 5 statements. If they select 6-10 for [x], they'll see a matrix with up to 10 statements...

Hopefully that makes sense. If anyone has any insight that would be great!

Here's a good article in Qualtrics help that can explain more concisely and clearly. https://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/survey-module/question-options/display-logic/I would set up your first question as a a Text Entry type and use the right hand menu to add the following validations: * Force Response* Content Validation* Content Type = Number* Numeric format -> Minimum = 0, Maximum = 0, Max Decimals =0Then your matrix table would have 20 rows. You would add the question display logic (#1 in the link) and row display logic (section #2 in the link) as I had described in my first answer.

If you are setting a limit in the first question this should be programmable. I would think there is javascript involved if you want the first number to be infinite. But say you use a text box for the first question (Q1) and let them enter 0-10 as a valid range.Then for your matrix question you would do the following:1. Question display logic -> Q1 > 02. Row logic      Row 1 -> display logic Q1 >= 1      Row 2 -> display logic Q1 >=2      ....      Row 9 -> display logic Q1 >=9      Row 10 -> display logic Q1=10
