==================
Hi all,

I have a multiple text entry question with six boxes (not mandatory)

I then have a ranking question with a list of pre-defined options. I would like to add the responses to the six text box questions if they are filled. 

I am currently using this code in the answer options of the ranking list to hide or show the answer from the multiple short text. E.g. to pull text box 1 into the ranking I'm adding an answer option:

{(if(OtherBMetrics_Other1 != "",OtherBMetrics_Other1.shown))}

This works fine to pull through the text, but if nothing is entered into the multiple short text box, I'm getting blank options in the ranking list. How do I hide the ranking option if the corresponding multiple short is blank?

Thanks In advance,
Kathryn

I also tried
{(if(OtherBMetrics_Other1.NAOK != "",OtherBMetrics_Other1.shown))}

Hi,
it's always the same procedure.
Use a (hidden) multiple question and a (hidden) equation.
Preset the multiple question by the equation and use it as array filter for the ranking.

Many thanks Joffm, this worked perfectly.

I don't understand the need for a hidden multiple-choice here. Can you not simply place an array-filter in the ranking dependant on the multi-text?

@tpartner,
to be honest, this seems to be due to an age-related stubbornness.
You get stuck on certain things 

You are absolutely right.
