rank options

[gap1981]

i have a question where you have to rank your first three conrcens
about a subject. So you have three select one list questions. But my
problem is that i have in the second question to block the selected
option in the first (except selected is "other") and in the third
question i have to block the selected options in the first two
questions, is that posible?
thanks again.

Hi, I have put an example at http://formhub.org/prabhasp/forms/rank_example (under the XLSForm heading on the page, click on "Excel" to download the XLSform), which does most of what you need. To handle the "other" situation, you'll need to put more constraints on rank3, but I am hoping you can follow the rank2 example to do that.

cheers,

Prabhas

Guillermo, because in your options list, you have numerical values under the "name" column, the values of your variables are actually numbers rather than strings (which are represented as '16', while numbers are represented simply as 16).

Anyways, I have attached a version of your form that has the right behavior for the second question, I believe. Do have a look at both the constraint and the relevant column, as I changed both for p6.1 and p6.2

Hope this helps more.

Also, a quick note, we have revised the xlsform language to make it simpler and less verbose. Check out the formhub blog ( http://blog.formhub.org/ ) for a recent post about this, and review the http://formhub.org/syntax/ to look at updated syntax.
