Tag or categorise questions? was created by Armitage2k
Please help us help you and fill where relevant:
Your LimeSurvey version: LimeSurvey Community Edition Version 6.5.11+240605

Own server or LimeSurvey hosting: Own Server
Survey theme/template: fruity 23
==================

I would like to know if its possible to categorise questions by assigning each questions to one or more categories, which later could be used to sort question output.

A specific example is my survey of 100 questions, of which 3 are general questions, 25 are related to service experience, 50 related to hardware experience, and 25 are related to Others. All questions are Yes / No, I would like to be able to calculate a compliance score across each category (eg. Service: 40%, Hardware: 90%, Others: 78%), before calculating the overall score (eg. 89% Compliance).

Is this possible natively or perhaps with a plugin?

Thank you

Really easy.
Did you read the manual about "implemented functions'"?

Best you send the lss export

I do not see any relevant manual entry to "implemented functions", unless you are referring to a 2018 article about upcoming features that are planned to be implemented, which does not include anything about categorization.

I understand a similar question like mine was asked in 2018 and was back then answered with a hard "no". Has anything changed? Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks

But as before: send a lss export of the survey or a sample.

Sorry, I feel like we are going in circles.

I understand functions and understand that technically I can sum and divide questions with certain answers, but this is not what I am asking to achieve.

I want to know whether it is possible to add a category to each question (eg. “service”), and once the survey is completed utilize this classification for further calculations like count(service_questions == YES).

Happy to provide a LSS export once I know whether what I want to do is actually possible.

count(service_questions == YES).

If these are separate questions : NO (if you use an array - YES)

But you can either use (let's assume service questions are coded "S1", "S2", ..., and hardware questions are coded "H1", "H2",...)
countifop("Y", S1.NAOK,S2.NAOK,S3.NAOK,S4.NAOK,...)}

or (with assessment values: Yes (1), No (0))
sum(S1.valueNAOK,S2.valueNAOK,S3.valueNAOK,S4.valueNAOK,...)}
