Example 1: LOC in Banner Logic:
This example shows how a banner position can represent a response base, such as rating scale, rather than the traditional respondent base. The logic used in this example results in the following table:

Because the location is in the banner position, the row logic is used as the starting point. Each banner position uses the row logic plus the LOC number.

Because the location is in the row, the banner logic is used as the starting point. Each row uses the banner logic plus the LOC number.
Similar to the Total position, the table filter can represent a response base, rather than a respondent base. The logic for the table filter when the locations are in the rows is LOC+ followed by the range of locations for that table.
Example 3: Using LOC With Other Logic:
If any row of the table must be based on a secondary criterion you can include the additional logic after the LOC instruction.
LOC+1 AND 1/5 (1)
Example 4: Using [+] With LOC to increment logic
You can use [+] with LOC to increment banner, row and filter logic elements. Any logic surrounded by [+] is incremented by the LOC instruction. For example, if the logic for banner point 3 is:
LOC+5
and the row definition is:
[+]1/45 (5) AND 1/6 (2)[+]
then banner point three references:
1/50 (5) AND 1/11 (2)
Example 5: Using [X] With LOC to exclude logic from incrementing
You can use [X] with LOC to exclude banner, row and filter logic elements from being incremented. Any logic surrounded by [X] is excluded. For example, if the logic for banner point 3 is:
LOC+5
and the row definition is:
[+]1/45 (5) AND [X]1/63 (2)[X] AND 1/6 (2)[+]
then banner point three references:
1/50 (5) AND 1/63 (2) AND 1/11 (2)
the 1/63 (2) does not get incremented
