I have a ranking question that has 6 options. Two of which are: Not sure and No preference.
If either of these are included the ranking, then no other options should be allowed to be ranked.
I've attached my question file. I found another post that talked about exclusive options in a ranking question, so I copied the suggested validation logic. But when you look at the question, pretty obvious it doesn't work -- just not so obvious to be me how to make it work.
Please attach survey exports (.lss files) containing only the relevant question(s). Question/group exports force us to do more work trying to help you.

Given that the question code is Q51, the exclusive answer codes are 5 and 6 and there are maximum 3 answers, this should be the question validation equation.
Code:
(Q51_1 == '5' AND is_empty(Q51_2) AND is_empty(Q51_3))
OR
(Q51_1 == '6' AND is_empty(Q51_2) AND is_empty(Q51_3))
OR
(Q51_1 != '5' AND Q51_2 != '5' AND Q51_3 != '5' AND Q51_1 != '6' AND Q51_2 != '6' AND Q51_3 != '6')
Having said that, it may be an idea to insert a previous question asking whether they want to rank and use relevance to hide/show the ranking question. (I find it odd to rank an option "Unsure" or "No preference")
