Add repeats to a column instead of a row using custom report templates

Question

Hi - I'm trying to develop a custom form which will add repeats from our survey into a new column. Currently the repeats are added as new rows. Is there anyway to add the repeats to a new column instead? Thanks!

Hi James,

Thanks! I'll try setting a maximum number of repeats and adding hidden questions. I'll let you know what we come up with.

Hi Nicholas,

There isn't a direct way to support this using repeats, they are designed to add additional records to a table.  If you have a maximum number of 'repeats' allowed in the form, you could have hidden questions that appear after the previous is entered; another option would be to post-process using a tool like 'Transpose Fields' or similar.
