Tip

For Multiple Choice questions that allow respondents to select multiple answers, you can choose to have specific conditions. Let’s say you have a Multiple Choice question with options A, B, C, and D. Following are the conditions that you can apply,

Exact: The exact choices selected will be considered for the function. For example, assume you set the choices A and B for this condition. The function will consider only the responses that have exactly A and B selected.

All: All the choices selected will be considered for the function. For example, assume you set the choices A and B for this condition. The function will consider all responses that have A and B selected. 

Any: Any one choice if selected will be considered for the function. For example, assume you set the choices A and B for this condition. The function will consider responses that have either A or B selected.
