Can I have Validation Condition on Hidden Value

Users
1

​Hello,
I need to sum up both Male and Female audience who attended a Community
Durbar. Any of these variables (i.e. MaleAudience and FemaleAudience) could
be zero BUT not BOTH, thus the TotalAudience MUST BE >= 1.

For example, MaleAudience = 45, FemaleAudience = 0 or vice versa.

My issue now is how do I make sure that they are not both zeros such that
the TotalAudience is NOT Set to Zero (0).

Yaw,

Hidden values cannot have validation conditions. What you'd usually do in
this situation is have the display condition on one of the two questions
(usually the one that comes second).

Cheers,
Will

Hi Will,
Great. I got it to work using the following Condition based on your
suggestion.
if(#form/ALLCDsGroup/InCDsGroup/AudienceGroup/MaleAudience = 0, . >= 1, .

= 0)

Thank you very much
