Setting constraints to a matrix

[sof]

Hi,

I have two questions:
Would it be possible to set a constraint to the responses returned in a matrix?

For example, I have the following 5 statements and I would like to gather the opinions of an individual towards a statement

Rows:

1. I like apples but I rarely consume them
2. I believe that apples keep the doctor away
3. Apples have a lot of pesticides but I still consume store-bought apples
4. I only consume organic apples
5. I buy apples because of the health benefits it has.

Column:

1. Agree
2. Neutral
3. Disagree

Out of the 5 statements, would it be possible to limit the selection of “neutral” opinions to just 2 and return a constraint message of “sorry, more than 2 neutral statements were selected”?

Also, would it be possible to sieve out statements from the matrix which the respondent agreed to in a seperate question?

Thank you!

Hi @Kal_Lam thank you for your prompt reply.

I was wondering if it’s possible to get respondents to fill up their opinions based on this format

1. i like apples
2. i like orange
3. I like apple and orange
4. i dont eat fruits
5. i only eat oragnes when someone peels them for me
6. i only eat cut apples
7. i dont like fruits but i eat because i know it’s good for me
   8 i am too lazy to buy them
8. i have recently started to eat fruits out of peer pressure

thanks

It should be possible. As you only have to mark No Opinion as Neutral where you did it before.
