Can I do a two scale array with numeric input ? was created by MaloF

I would like to create a question that has only numeric input cell as answers, and to be able to group column with a "subtitle".

I believe this can be seen as a two scale array with numeric values ?

Please see the attachment to fully get my point. In this case, I have two "subtitles" ( France/USA) , each having two column ( NB , ETP )

Is this possible ?

Thanks

Hello, MaloF,

as far as I see, there is only a normal array(numbers), but with the additional headers.

I am sure somebody will be able to show how you can insert them.

Best regards

Well, you could insert those extra headers with JavaScript but it would not work on mobile devices. Probably better to combine the countries with the existing headers or use 2 separate questions.

Thanks Tony,

Could you show me how to do it via Javascript (or to point me to a similar answer with javascript code) ? Because I do not need mobile device compatibility and I can't combine the countries with the header as I need to do more complex table as the attached table .

Many thanks

Well, instead of wasting too much time with these headers, why not just do it like this?
IMO you're always in a hurry when developing surveys.

That's easy, quickly implemented.

The same with your second table. Use different colors for cadres, ETAM, etc.

Thanks Joffm,

Your answer is OK to me . However I would like to proceed to a small adjustment in order to improve readability: I would like to insert a vertical line between each group ( so in your example between column 2 and 3).

I found this post : www.limesurvey.org/forum/can-i-do-this-w...or-an-array-question , but the proposed javascript code doesn't work for Array(Number).

Could you help me with this ?
Thanks

Something like this will insert a vertical bar between columns 2 and 3.

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">	
 
	$(document).ready(function() {
 
		var newColPosition = 3;
 
		// Identify this question
		var thisQuestion = $('#question{QID}');
 
		// Insert a new column
		$('table.subquestion-list col:eq('+(newColPosition-1)+')', thisQuestion).after('<col class="inserted-column" />');
		$('table.subquestion-list thead th:eq('+(newColPosition-1)+')', thisQuestion).after('<th class="inserted-column" />');
		$('tr.subquestion-list', thisQuestion).each(function(i) {
			$('.question-item:eq('+(newColPosition-2)+')', this).after('<td class="inserted-column" />');
		});
		
		// Some styling
		$('.inserted-column', thisQuestion).css({
			'width': '1%',
			'background': '#233140',
			'padding': '0'
		});
	});
 
</script>
