How do I force a response to a text entry question if certain responses in a matrix table are selected within the page? For example, I have a matrix with five scale points and eight statements. If the respondent selects a 1 or a 2, for any of the eight statements, I want their response to the next text entry question to be required/forced. The responses of 3, 4 or 5 for the eight statement enable the respondent to progress without forcing a response to the text entry question.

There's no need to write JS. You can use the custom validation feature built into qualtrics. Let's assume that the matrix is Q1 and the open end is Q2. Then your validation is:IF Q2 is not emptyAND Q1 1 (Count) is greater than or equal to 1new logic set ORQ2 is not emptyAND Q1 2 (count) is greater than or equal to 1new logic setORQ2 is emptyAnd Q1 1 (count) is equal to zeroAnd Q1 2 (count) is equal to zeronew logic setORQ2 is not emptyAnd Q1 1 (count) is equal to zeroAnd Q1 2 (count) is equal to zeroI added a screen cap of the test I ran on this. In that example Q44=Q2 and Q40=Q1!

Thank you @bstrahin for that lovely answer. It helped me out with the same issue.
