Using hidden equation question to autofill an answer was created by SurveyDennis
Hi,

I am using the below instruction from the manual - Using hidden equation question to autofill an answer

Limesurvey Autofill

All working fine, except in my exmample it will always autofill the last option.
Even if I have selected a different answer then > 44.

I assume I just have a wrong typo somewhere or using the && wrong. But I don't see it, anyone that can help?
Code:
{DummyAge=if(Demographie2.NAOK < 16, DummyAge="A", if(Demographie2.NAOK > 15 &amp;&amp; Demographie2.NAOK < 30, DummyAge="B", if(Demographie2.NAOK > 29 &amp;&amp; Demographie2.NAOK < 45, DummyAge="C", if(Demographie2.NAOK > 44, DummyAge="D" ))))}

Hi,

Seems to have an error in the manual ....
Doing
Code:
{if(1,QCODE="A",QCOE="B")}
don't work.
Code:
{QCODE=if(1,"A","B")}
work.

Then :
Code:
{DummyAge=if(Demographie2.NAOK < 16, "A", if(Demographie2.NAOK > 15 &amp;&amp; Demographie2.NAOK < 30, "B", if(Demographie2.NAOK > 29 &amp;&amp; Demographie2.NAOK < 45, "C", if(Demographie2.NAOK > 44, "D" ))))}
does the trick.

[strike]If you have some time to update the manual after testing[/strike]. It can be great :).
Done, but if you can improve it ;)

Sorry very late response, thank you for looking into this, need to test it later this week.

I used a different way to make it working, but your solution is better ofcourse:

Hi guys, i'm kind of newbie on programming serious on LS.

I'm been trying to perform the same trick than SurveyDennis, i've already consult the link he provided.

Also tried to follow Denis Chenu recomendation, but i'm doing something wrong. :(

This is my equation:

{ QF2= if(QF1.NAOK<18, "1" if(QF1.NAOK>17 && QF1.NAOK<24, "2" if(QF1.NAOK>23 && QF1.NAOK<30, "3" if(QF1.NAOK>29 && QF1.NAOK<36, "4" if(QF1.NAOK>35 && QF1.NAOK<43, "5" if(QF1.NAOK>42 && QF1.NAOK<50, "6" if(QF1.NAOK>49 && QF1.NAOK<58, "7" if(QF1.NAOK>57 && QF1.NAOK<65, "8" if(QF1.NAOK>64, "9"))))))))) }

where QF1-> ask for age. then i need to generate 9 different categories.

Could you guide me on what i'm doing wrong. If you can provide a file with example, i will be in great debt with you.

Thanks in advance and best regards from mexico.

Hi,
At first glance there are commas (,) missing before successive "if" commands.

Good catch Elissa...

I think it could be something like:
Code:
{ QF2 =
  if (QF1.NAOK < 18, "1",
           if (QF1.NAOK > 17 &amp;&amp; QF1.NAOK < 24, "2",
              if (QF1.NAOK > 23 &amp;&amp; QF1.NAOK < 30, "3",
                  if (QF1.NAOK > 29 &amp;&amp; QF1.NAOK < 36, "4",
                      if (QF1.NAOK > 35 &amp;&amp; QF1.NAOK < 43, "5",
                          if (QF1.NAOK > 42 &amp;&amp; QF1.NAOK < 50, "6",
                              if (QF1.NAOK > 49 &amp;&amp; QF1.NAOK < 58, "7",
                                  if (QF1.NAOK > 57 &amp;&amp; QF1.NAOK < 65, "8", "9"))))))))
}
