Hi, I would like to ask your help about the following.

I built an “Array (texts)” question with subquestions to enter financial data.
Say it’s a table with rows:
• Subquest-x-1
• Subquest-x-2
• Subquest-x-3
and columns:
• Subquest-y-1
• Subquest-y-2
• Subquest-y-3.

I just want to set to “not relevant” the cells:
• “Subquest-x-1” – “Subquest-y-2”
• “Subquest-x-1” – “Subquest-y-3”
that is I don’t want the participant to fill in those cells.
How can I make it? I see there’s the possibility to set a “Relevance equation” on the subquestions,
but I can’t figure out how to write this particular one.

Another question: is the “Array (texts)” the best way to build a table of numbers?
Actually I don’t see tables with columns in the examples of “Multiple numerical input”.
Thanks in advance

Well, my first idea was to use an "array (numbers)", if I want to enter numbers.

But Array (numbers) gives only the possibility of entering numbers with dropdown boxes; I don't need that, I need to enter "free" numbers...

You can use JavaScript to remove those inputs but that doesn't help if the question is mandatory.

In that case, the only solution I see is to break the question up into several multiple numerical input questions.

Hi, mperiello,
of course you can add numbers.

Please set in "advanced settings" "text input": ON

As described in the manual: www.limesurvey.org/manual/Question_type_-_Array_(Numbers)

Text inputs (input_boxes)

Description

Show a text input and not a dropdown. Step is not used , minimum and maximum value is used.

Your main problem:
Only if the question is not mandatory:
In "Question validation equation:" set something like:
(is_empty(self.sq_SQ001_A1)) AND (is_empty(self.sq_SQ003_A2)) ... (first cell, first row and second cell, third row)

To fake the mandatory style you can add that all other cells must be filled, e.g. "AND (!is_empty(self.sq_SQ001_A2))..."
