I have a matrix table with 5 scale points as standard, however I’d like to add in an additional scale point (NA) for just 1 of the statements in the matrix table. Could someone please advise on how to do so?

Display scale point for only 1 statement in matrix table

Making the assumptions:
- You are not using simple layout
- The last scale point is NA
- The one statement with the NA scale point is last
Then:
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() {
var na = jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" td.last");
na.each(function(i) { if(i<(na.length-1)) jQuery(this).find("*").hide(); });
});
+1Hey!
you have 2 ways to do that:
1- on the left hand side, you can click on the + sign under “Scale points” to add an additional scale point
2- click on the last scale point and click enter, an additional scale point will be added.
+1Thanks for responding. The issue is that I only want this scale point added to 1 of the statements in my matrix table, not applied to all of them - so I need to either hide this as an option for the other statements, or disable the ability to choose this scale point for all bar 1 statement.
+1oh, got your question. Qualtrics doesn’t have this by default. A workaroud would be adding the statement in another question.

You would have to add the NA scale point to the question, then use JS to hide and/or disable NA for the statements that shouldn’t have it.
+1Thanks Tom - would you happen to have the JS that I’d need to include to do that? I’m not well versed with JS at all unfortunately!
