==================
Hello,
I think I did not understand how quotas work.
I will simplify here my requirement: we will use LimeSurvey to register people to a party we are going to have. People are asked whether they will come AND whether they will take somebody with them. However, we have limited seats so we must set a quota to stop bookings when there are no seats left.
I enclose a sample survey with a limit of three, just to simplify testing.
In the example I put only two Yes/no questions: will you come? and Will you take somebody with you?
In the quotasetting.png file I show how I set the quota.

However, to do the testing I posted two responses, one from somebody who comes with a friend and one with somebody comining alone. See responses.png. The quota is still at 1. A third person could book his seat despite having none left.
Where am I mistaking?

Kind regards
Rita  

 

P.S.: I understand the quote I set is triggered only when the participant chooses to come AND to take a partner with him. Is there a way to count all people coming, instead? 

Hi, 
I'd use an equation to count the guests of one party, like {countif("Y",YouCome,WithPartner)}
then in a next equation the function statCount to count the total guests, like "if(statCountif(...)>3,0,1)"
Now you can set the quota on this last equation on outcome "0".

Due to a lack of time only a rough idea.

BTW:
Wouldn't it be better to use simple "bootstrap-buttons" with
0: I will not come
1: I come alone
2: I come with partner

Here you only have to count this single question.

Hello,
thank you for your kind answer. In my case the questionnaire will be more extended, so I think I'd keep the two questions apart, however the idea of a "triple state" button is rather good and I wouldn't have thought about that.
Could you help me with the expression? I'm a bit lost since LimeSurvey complains about an undefined function if I use statCountIf...

Hi,
"StatFunctions" is implemented by default.
But probably you have to activate it
 

Here my idea with your "two questions"
 
Later I will send another one, which should be easier.

Hello, thank you a lot. Unfortunately, StatFunctions aren't available in my Limesurvey but now I know this is due to a plugin not being activated. I'll see if the admins will allow for that!
