How to carry forward multiple answers from one question | XM Community
Skip to main content

Question 1 asks respondents to rate multiple items on a 5 point scale from "Not important" to "Very important" using a matrix.
For question 2, I want to only display the items that were rated "4. important" or "5. very important." Respondents will then be asked to rank those items from most to least important.
For example question 1 might say "Please use the scale below (1-5) to rate how you value each item when considering a job offer"
Options:

  • Salary - 4

  • Vacation time - 4

  • Benefits/health insurance - 2

  • Location - 5

  • Company culture - 4


I would want any item that was rated "4. important" or "5. very important" to display on question 2, so everything except benefits in this case.
I'm having trouble setting up carry forward using multiple options (e.g. "select statements for scale point "4. important" AND "5. very important"). Is there a way to do this or a workaround?

Thanks in advance

I believe you'd have to use OR instead of AND when you set up the Carry Forward logic. If you use AND, the responder would have to select Important AND Very Important for a single answer, so none of the answers would carry forward.

msilver - You can't specify more than one scale point to carry forward statements from a matrix. An alternative is to repeat all your statements in the ranking question and add display logic to each one.
