Hi Nana,
In case you are still looking for the answer to your question: The error you mentioned is because you were referring to a question that is being repeated, so it’s not possible to just refer to it as ${some_question}. You would need to specify which of the potentially multiple repeated instances you’re referring to, using a formula such as indexed-repeat(). See this article for details: http://support.kobotoolbox.org/customer/en/portal/articles/1652664-grouping-questions-and-repeating-groups#include

Best,

Tino
