Hello,
I'm sure this question was asked before but I couldn't find it, so please either show me where to find it or answer my question, it would help a lot!
I'm working on a questionnaire that has some exclusion criteria and I used Quotas with a limit of 0 to end the questionnaire for those who ticked a certain answer. My problem is, that in some questions the exclusion criteria is when the participant ticks the "other" option, which is not possible to select in Quotas. I then thought to use a Text Entry Question and call it others, but its not selectable in Quotas aswell. Now, is there a solution to my problem?
Thanks a lot, Lasse

Hi, Lasse,
in this case you have to create equations like
{if(Q1=='-oth-',1,0)}
or
{if(!is_empty(Q1_other),1,0)}

Well, depends on the type of question. The best - as always - activate the survey, enter some data to see how the "Other" options are coded.
​​​​​​​
Then you set the quota on this equation.

Hi Joffm,
thanks a lot for your quick reply.
I'm note sure where to use the codes you told me, I pasted them into the Condition field in the questions Settings. But when I do so and acitvate the survey, the whole question is not shown.
To find out how the question is coded I checked html code but as far as I know it is right if I use the term "andere" right?
Thanks, Lasse

You need to read what Joffm is writing.

in this case you have to create equations like

So you create equation type questions and make your calculations for the screenout in these equation type questions. Then you set the zero quota on this equation type question and not on the actual question.

Hi,
as I said before, you have to create a question of type "equation" to generate a variable which you can use in your quota.

If you activate the survey, enter some data, you will see how the answer "Others" looks like.




Now you know the code that is stored in case of "Others"  ('-oth-') and you can use what I showed before.
Your quota now refers to this question of type "equation" and the value you used to defined as "screenout" value.
 

BTW:
In "condition" you enter logical terms that handle the display of questions/groups. If TRUE, the question is displayed, if FALSE it is not displayed.
Please, read the manual about "question types"
[url] www.limesurvey.org/manual/Question_types/en [/url]
and especially this about ExpressionScript that covers your question

Or the shoert remark in my "Tutorial 4: Gleichungen, Zufall,...", Chapter. 1.3.1.
In the German part, page 11, 12, or so.

P.S. Hättest Du auf Deutsch gefragt, wäre alles viel einfacher.

 

Thanks for your patients and the 2nd round of explaining it to me, now it worked fine.
Best regards, Lasse

P.S. Ja das stimmt, ich dachte, ich erreiche im englischen Forum vielleicht mehr Menschen als im Deutschen... Aber du hast Recht, wäre wahrscheinlich einfacher auf deutsch gewesen.
