Constant Sum settings

Hi, I thought of using Constant Sum for allowing my respondents to distribute 100 points among 5 categories in a way that grades their preferences. Is there a way to prevent them from giving the same number of points to 2 or more categories? If not, I would appreciate any other suggestions. I need each category to have a different rating since I'm interested in the respondents hierarchic preferences. The rating has to derive from a 100 points distribution task. Thanks.

Hi @Talia_Goren82 , You can use custom validation with all possible combination of checking duplicates. Like choice one text entry compared to 2, 3, 4, 5; then 2 is compared to 3, 4, 5 similarly for 3 and 4. You can also validate must total to 100 in custom validation using math operation.
