Using insertans within if commands

Using insertans within if commands was created by joebloggs1987
I am just wondering how to display an answer by using an if command.

E.g....
if(a == 1, "insertans", "")

Is there a way of doing this in Limesurvey?

Thanks.

Of course:

Without knowing exactly, what "a==1" is, well, just any comparison.
Something like: {if(a==1,Q01_SQ001.NAOK,"alternative text")}

Hi Joffm,

I'm trying to do the same but when I'm using the following statement in my question:

{if(Q4.NAOK == 'A1','alternative text')}

I get syntax errors:



Would appreciate any help as I can't find any troubleshooting on the manual

The issue is in the Question Q4 itself. The variable Q4 contains more data than needed.
What is Q4. If it is a Equation question it might contain HTML code somewhere, which pollutes the variable Q4.

Your IF statement is incomplete. You need to include both the result if true and the result if untrue.

Code:
{if(Q4.NAOK == 'A1', 'Result if true', 'Result if untrue')}

Else : i think there are a bad copy/paste of code looking at www.limesurvey.org/media/kunena/attachments/195537/Capture.PNG screenshot.

I my opinion : you must check HTML source of question

Thank you all, you've been very helpful.

I can confirm that the field of the untrue case does not need to be completed if not necessary.

Issue resolved after checking the HTML source.

It seems that somehow some options/tags were added on the background in the HTML source after pasting from word and changing fonts. Just removing the extra added options/tags resolved the issue.

Couldn't reproduce the issue for potentially filling a bug report.
