Good Morning to everyone,

as subject, i'm trying to validate subquestions, by an answer gived before in an array. These subquestions have

relevance based on the same cells where i need the validation.

What i'm trying to do is to validate the subquestion only if the inserted number is >= (ge) than the one inserted in the

array.

i've reached the point with this validation equation:

CatRig20ta_SQ001 ge Trst4_SY1_SQ001 or
CatRig20ta_SQ003 ge Trst4_SY1_SQ002 or
CatRig20ta_SQ005 ge Trst4_SY1_SQ003 or
CatRig20ta_SQ007 ge Trst4_SY1_SQ004 or
CatRig20ta_SQ009 ge Trst4_SY1_SQ005 or
CatRig20ta_SQ011 ge Trst4_SY1_SQ006 or
CatRig20ta_SQ013 ge Trst4_SY1_SQ007

the problem is that survey don't let me go ahed if I let some cells of the array empty..

I've tried to solve that in many ways (file attached named TESTS) but never be able to, by putting the equation in

"question validation" or in "subquestions validation"..

i'll attach lss file of the survey..

version is 3.17.7+190627

Where i'm wrong? What i'm missing?

Thank you so much for your help..

Something like this ?

Ill'try

To explain:
If the cell is empty, the value is not defined.
So you cannot compare this to another value, nor can you sum up or calculate a mean.
Therefore LS uses the NAOK (Not Applicable is OK)

More is_empty functuion usage here , no ?

Tried with this.. nothing still not validate if i put just one value in the array..

is_empty(Trst4_SY1_SQ001.NAOK) or
is_empty(Trst4_SY1_SQ002.NAOK) or
is_empty(Trst4_SY1_SQ003.NAOK) or
is_empty(Trst4_SY1_SQ004.NAOK) or
is_empty(Trst4_SY1_SQ005.NAOK) or
is_empty(Trst4_SY1_SQ006.NAOK) or
is_empty(Trst4_SY1_SQ007.NAOK) AND
(CatRig20ta_SQ001 ge Trst4_SY1_SQ001) or
(CatRig20ta_SQ003 ge Trst4_SY1_SQ002) or
(CatRig20ta_SQ005 ge Trst4_SY1_SQ003) or
(CatRig20ta_SQ007 ge Trst4_SY1_SQ004) or
(CatRig20ta_SQ009 ge Trst4_SY1_SQ005) or
(CatRig20ta_SQ011 ge Trst4_SY1_SQ006) or
(CatRig20ta_SQ013 ge Trst4_SY1_SQ007)

Good Morning Joffm,
i'm sorry, I do not understand if what i'm trying to do is possible or not..

my last try..

i'm sure i'm missing something.. maybe i can't do what i'm planning too..(?)

is_empty(Trst4_SY1_SQ001.NAOK) or
is_empty(Trst4_SY1_SQ002.NAOK) or
is_empty(Trst4_SY1_SQ003.NAOK) or
is_empty(Trst4_SY1_SQ004.NAOK) or
is_empty(Trst4_SY1_SQ005.NAOK) or
is_empty(Trst4_SY1_SQ006.NAOK) or
is_empty(Trst4_SY1_SQ007.NAOK) AND
(CatRig20ta_SQ001.NAOK ge Trst4_SY1_SQ001.NAOK) or
(CatRig20ta_SQ003.NAOK ge Trst4_SY1_SQ002.NAOK) or
(CatRig20ta_SQ005.NAOK ge Trst4_SY1_SQ003.NAOK) or

Review your parenthesis and the logiu,

Here you just need one empty value and it's validated.

And : it's totally different then my proposition .....

IT WORKED!!!! thank you Denis!! I didn't get you're suggestion before!!!

Thank you so much

Hi,
your expression is really easy, straightforward, even if it looks long.
But check the level of operators
www.limesurvey.org/manual/ExpressionScri...esentation#Operators

"AND" and "OR" and structure by parenthesis.
