LIVE Follow Along: Create an XLSForm from Scratch with me!

[@rakibaahmed]

This is an excellent live class! Could you please share the XLSForm that you created during this tutorial?

An awesome presentation in deed. At 1:14' you mention you prefer using selected for relevance over the equals operator. Any reason for this?

[@HumanitarianDataSolutions]

Sure! Great question! The main reason I prefer this is that sometimes, when you have colleagues or reviewers going through your questionnaire, they might say "I want this 'select_one' question to actually be a 'select_multiple'. If you use an 'equals' operator in your relevance relating to a select_one question, then that's fine, but if the select_one changes to a select_multiple, then the relevance won't capture it correctly using an 'equals' operator, unless they only choose one choice. In order to prevent having to update the relevances when changing select_ones to select_multiples, then I prefer just using the 'selected()' function from the start, as it works well for both cases. Does that make sense?

@@HumanitarianDataSolutions yeah makes a lot of sense. never thought of it in that angle.

Great demonstration of XLSForm authoring and best practices. We also learned about excel formulas and chatGPT.

can i have the xls file please

[@HumanitarianDataSolutions]

Thanks for the question! I haven't made this XLSForm available, but if it becomes a future resource in a training video, I'll link to it here!
