I would like to know how to enforce a single answer in matrix likert type?

Question

I am trying to custom validation for a matrix where only one answer in possible in the table, but I cannot find a solution for it.In my example attached you can see that there possible to give several answers. But only one combination is possible, not five as displayed. I am attaching the format that I am using. I am also flexible to try other options. Thank you in advanced for your ideas.

In that case, I just remembered that you can arrange multiple choice single answer questions in columns, so I think this might be your best option:

Hi @Millie,Just to make sure I follow, you want the respondent to select one (and only one) of the 25 bubble choices in that Matrix grid?If that's the case, you could set up Custom Validation like the example below. However, it's possible that many respondents will click more than one choice (on a different row from their first choice) and have no way of deselecting their unwanted response.A better option would be either to add a "Not applicable" column that the respondent would select for the rows that do not apply, or use a drop-down question instead and merge the row and column options together so you have 25 options: "Situational: less than 20%", "Situational: 20-40%", etc.
