Have you created your que file and a basic responses.xls file? If so, then you simply need to create a skipto value for the subsequent item based on whether or not the 5 values in the Excel file were set equal to "no" (e.g., 1 on 1-2pt scale). The help on conditional (if > then) logic in Excel can help you with this. Basically you want if q1 = no and q2= no and q3 = no etc., then skipto = q7. If you get close but are still having trouble zip and attach what you have done and I'll take a look at the logic.
