Can I base logic on the Star Rating Grid Question?

You can! But only under certain circumstances. The question must have a single column and thus a single value per row in order to set up logic.

Example 1: Star Rating Grid question that would work for setting up logic:

If your Star Rating Grid question has 1 row and 1 column the set up is quite simple.

This configuration requires that both your Star Ranking Grid question and follow-up question are located on the same survey page.
