Hi,
there are really many, many examples here how to do this.
Like this. In the provided sample survey you find several examples
[url] forums.limesurvey.org/forum/can-i-do-thi...a-array-texts#189538 [/url]
Now, doing it like this you have to validate that there are no double "Elementos de despesa"
So in my opinion it is better to split the question
1. "multiple" question to select the elements
2. Either "multiple numerical input" or "array(text)" to enter the valores, using the array filter to only display the selected elementos
Here both options. In the array you have the built-in option to show the sum.
The question is: What for do you need the sum?
Only to display it?
Or to use in in following questions to compare or limit some inputs?
Anyway: Use ExpressionManager to sum your values.
And you should send a lss export of these questions, that we can imagine better, what you want to achieve.

Hi,
at first
If we write
We do not want to go through hundreds of questions to find the place of your problem.
Second:
I do not understand what is so difficult to adapt the script of question Q1a in the sample survey.
This contains everything you would like to have.
You see this in the script (the only part you have to adapt)
You can imagine that X001 and X004 refer to the y-axis subquestion codes - as you see in the screenshot.
So just enter
for all cells X1, X3, X5 and X7
And as you see you run out of space.
So you could additionally set different column widths
with a second script and some css
which would result in
Well, as it is not necessary that all 4 elements have to be chosen, you have to validate that
there are not double elements
there is an input in "valor" if an element is selected and viceversa no input in valor if the element is not selected.
Therefore in my opinion the other solution is better.
Really easy to display the sum (you still did not explain what for you need it)
No check for doubles.
No check for "Both values (elemento & valor) have to be answered.
No javascript.
To finish
Use ExpressionManager. Much easier, mightier and more flexible.
This condition builder was implemented long before Expression Manager was implemented, about version 1.92.
With Condition Builder you only can create simple conditions.
Read the manual here
[url] manual.limesurvey.org/ExpressionScript_-...ons_and_Relevance.3F [/url]
Conditions : Condition Builder
Relevance: ExpressionManager (since version 5.0 called ExpressionScript)
Please, explain better how to set the conditions in your group.
Next:
You see that the display of question G4P2 with 8 columns is totally broken. Use less columns (6).
You imported an already existing group. You see that the question codes of Ativ 02 are a random sequence of characters now.
Meaning: You can't do this (or change all question codes afterwards)
Though each of your activities have 14 questions you shouldn't display the whole group on one page.
It is really cimbersome for the respondent to scroll and scroll.
A rule for online surveys is "One question per page".
You really should revise your layout.
But to repeat:
explain what means:

Not as long as you use this "outdated" condition builder.Would you know how to set a "group question" condition ??What about a "couple question condition"?

Does it mean: If one of the questions is not true (what is TRUE) the respondent is screened out?if I have around 14 questions in a group but, at least, 10th, 12th and 14th has to be true.

Here you get two solutions,
1. multiple numerical input with two different ways to display the sum.
2. Array(text)
As said before, send the lss export.
