Hello guys,

First of all, sorry for my English.
I'm making my first survey using LimeSurvey. Right now, I am stuck with logical statements. For better understanding, follow some explanations.

1) I have one multiple choice question with 25 items.


2) Each five of these items have a category. Let's say: Category A (Items 1-5), B (Items 6-10), C (Items 11-15), D (Items 16-20) and E (Items 21-25).

3) Depending on the user's choice, I want the user answers questions related with the category. So, I have questions (array) for A, B, C, D and E.
So, when the user selects only items from A, they will answer the a next question related with A.
But when the user select questions for both category A, B and E. I want the next question shows questions from these three categories.


4) Follows my logic (that I believe it's wrong).
SB = sub-question

Ex: Questions only for category A:
((SB01.NAOK == "Y")) or ((SB02.NAOK == "Y")) or ((SB03.NAOK == "Y")) or ((SB04.NAOK == "Y")) or ((SB05.NAOK == "Y")) and ((( ! SB06.NAOK == "Y")) or (( ! SB07.NAOK == "Y")) or (( ! SB08.NAOK == "Y")) or (( ! SB09.NAOK == "Y")) or (( ! SB10.NAOK == "Y")) and ((( ! SB11.NAOK == "Y")) or (( ! SB12.NAOK == "Y")) or (( ! SB13.NAOK == "Y")) or (( ! SB14.NAOK == "Y")) or (( ! SB15.NAOK == "Y"))) and ((( ! SB16.NAOK == "Y")) or (( ! SB17.NAOK == "Y")) or (( ! SB18.NAOK == "Y")) or (( ! SB19.NAOK == "Y")) or (( ! SB20.NAOK == "Y"))) and ((( ! SB21.NAOK == "Y")) or (( ! SB22.NAOK == "Y")) or (( ! SB23.NAOK == "Y")) or (( ! SB24.NAOK == "Y")) or (( ! SB25.NAOK == "Y")))


Ex: Questions for category A, B and E:
((SB01.NAOK == "Y")) or ((SB02.NAOK == "Y")) or ((SB03.NAOK == "Y")) or ((SB04.NAOK == "Y")) or ((SB05.NAOK == "Y")) and (((SB06.NAOK == "Y")) or ((SB07.NAOK == "Y")) or ((SB08.NAOK == "Y")) or ((SB09.NAOK == "Y")) or ((SB10.NAOK == "Y")) and ((( ! SB11.NAOK == "Y")) or (( ! SB12.NAOK == "Y")) or (( ! SB13.NAOK == "Y")) or (( ! SB14.NAOK == "Y")) or (( ! SB15.NAOK == "Y"))) and ((( ! SB16.NAOK == "Y")) or (( ! SB17.NAOK == "Y")) or (( ! SB18.NAOK == "Y")) or (( ! SB19.NAOK == "Y")) or (( ! SB20.NAOK == "Y"))) and (((SB21.NAOK == "Y")) or ((SB22.NAOK == "Y")) or ((SB23.NAOK == "Y")) or ((SB24.NAOK == "Y")) or ((SB25.NAOK == "Y")))


When I select items for both categories A, B and E. The next group show questions A, for B. Then, repeat questions for A, B and then show questions for E. :blink:

Someone can help me how solve this issue?

Thanks a lot!

Not sure why you include the "NOT" part (that you have marked in red.

So, in the relevance equation for the questions from the category A you would put something like this.
I am not quite sure if you need the "((". But something like this statement would show the question only, if one of those subquestions from SB01 to SB05 was marked. One is suficient. But from what I understood, this is actually what you want.

Similar things you do for the other categories.

Code:

SB01.NAOK == "Y" OR SB02.NAOK == "Y" OR SB03.NAOK == "Y" OR SB04.NAOK == "Y" OR SB05.NAOK == "Y"

I will try without the parenthesis.
About the ! (not), the reason is because I am trying to avoid the repeated questions.

Got it ! Finally.
The answer was easier than I thought. I only need of 5 questions, each one matching the criteria of a category.

The !(not) is not necessary as you pointed @holch. I kept the parenthesis anyway, I think is better to organize.
