How do you select the only available option as default?

In my survey there is a section called "Optimizer Band". Based on the previous selections (Asset Code, District, and Location), there is only one option to choose. How can I make that auto populated, similar to a default? Keep in mind this number could be from 1-5, pending the Location selected. We need it shown in the reports after the surveys are submitted; otherwise I know it's silly to have a section in a survey where you can only choose from one thing. Thanks for your time.

Attached is my xls form.

Use calculation column instead. Works just like default since the user can still overwrite it. Default only loads when the form loads - so after your values change - which it is too late.

So when I tried that, I put in OB=${OB} and it 'broke' the survey. I had to take it out and it loaded as it would before. Clearly that isn't the right 'code' to put into the calculation column.... is there a simpler trick to that?

Rereading your post maybe you actually want a lookup? So if they pick A,B,C then return 1, if they pick A,B,E return a 2, etc?

If so then you can use pulldata for that.

Not sure where you are going with this OB=${OB} but you cannot calc a field from itself.
