Multiple choice/matrix - is there a better way anyone can suggest?

@Liz - if only you could use the answers of the matrix questions in logic calculations and jumps.. some day!!

@LewisK - maybe consider something along this line:

• start with a multiple select multiple choice that groups some of the items together to start with ie public transit, personal car/truck, air, self-propelled (based on your categories above)
  • then ask question(s) based on what they chose that says “you chose x - what percentage of the time do you use this overall method? “ 
  • for the next method they chose you can use variables and recall to show something like this in the description:
    • ok you said you take public transit 25 percent of the time. How much do you drive your personal vehicle? 
    • use calculations to determine if 100-25 from previous - y from this one is greater than or = 0 .. if so you can move forward and if less than 0 tell them to adjust the value and go back to the percent question
  • then do the next method they chose.. 
    • you use the calculations to determine if they have used up the 100 percent yet. if over, then tell them to adjust the current, if they are less then cycle them through the scenarios again 
  • yes i know this is a pain but it would work
• then you can do a question group approach for each one along these lines
  • ok, you said you take public transit. which of the following types of public transit do you take? 
    • multiple multiple choice 
    • evaluate the same way as before to 100 percent (of this category - we will worry about the overall later) 
  • repeat for each type of transport/question group
• once you have done this for all the selected groups, you will have the ability to multiply the ‘big group’ percentages by the individual activities to get the breakdown by multiplying the two percentages together ie public transportation = 25 and bus = 60 (percent of time in public transport) = 15% of the overall 

you could add a top level category called Other and allow folks to add in values if you want and then follow the same decomposition approach. this would also give you a list of other types that you could add in later in another iteration of the quiz. 

Trust me it is not as elegant as a matrix (with ‘add to 100) would be nor as simple. But if you want to do it all in native typeform right away this would be one way to work around the current lack of logic on matrix operations.
