I would like to use the following questions in my survey. Could you please let me how to design such kind of questions?

Do you have input fields in first column as well(a....,b... etc) ?
if no
array number --> advance settings [Text inputs = Yes]
if Yes
Need some javascript .

Thank you very much! YES, I need to input in the first column(CURRENTLY) and in the second column(5-7 YEARS AGO)

You can add a question of type "multiple short text" before that question and ask something like "Please enter details about XYZ" to let the user enter the open texts there.

Then use array filter feature at the follow up "Array Numbers" question to only show rows for which a text exists. You can display the text of the previous question using placeholders. If the multiple short question uses question code "q22" and the sub-questions are numbered 1 to X use:
{q22_1.NAOK}
{q22_2.NAOK}
{q22_x.NAOK}

The respondents should input 10 number, 5 for the first column and 5 for the second column. Numbers input in the first column should add up to 100%, so the second.

Did you already try to create a sample survey using a multiple short text + Array numbers question?

Please do so and attach the LSS file.

Thank you very much for your kindness. I tried to use array(numbers). It seems work well me. However, I don't how to validate whether the sum of first column or the second column add up to 100 or not? Can I use "Question validation equation" to validate it? If so, how to do it ? Thanks.

Attachment please find my question.

Given your x-scale codes of "curr" and "ago", the question validation equation would be:

Code:

sum(self.sq_curr) == 100 OR sum(self.sq_ago) == 100

Thank you very much! Another question, even this question is not mandatory, if the respondent doesn't respond to this question, he can not go ahead with other questions. How should I do with this? thanks again!

I don't understand. You said "validate whether the sum of first column or the second column add up to 100". In that case, the respondent is not supposed to be allowed to proceed unless that requirement is met.

Can the respondent leave the question blank and go ahead with afterward questions?
