Please take a look at this formula i'm trying to implement.

{if(Q1 == 0, "you answered Q1.shown and this is wrong","you answered Q1.shown and this is correct")}


If the answer has value 0 the answer is wrong and i want to show some text containing the variable Q1 so that the selected answer is displayed.

Problem is, i can't find a way to make the EM understand Q1 is a variable when i put it inside the "quotes"



I found very long workarounds, so i'm asking if any of you knows how to keep variables alive inside of columns, when using formulas.

Hi Tgrecu,
I always use
{if(Q1 == 0, join("you answered ",Q1.shown," and this is wrong"),
join("you answered", Q1.shown," and this is correct"))}

but sprintf (see www.limesurvey.org/manual/Expression_Manager ) or implode(' ',.....) should also work.

Succes
Frans
