The Perimenopause Nutrition Path Finder

I need help with this form. There are 7 multiple-choice questions, A, B and C. When the form is submitted I want a total of all the A's, B's and C's. I don't know what to do.

Hi Carolyn,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant here to assist you.

Let me help you with that:

To get a total count of all the A's, B's, and C's from your 7 multiple-choice questions when the form is submitted, you can use Jotform's calculation and conditional logic features. Here's how to do it:

1. Add a Calculation Widget: Add a Form Calculation widget to your form where you want the totals to be displayed or calculated.
2. Assign Values to Choices: For each multiple-choice question, assign numerical values to the options A, B, and C. For example, you can assign 1 for A, 0 for B and C in one calculation, then 1 for B and 0 for others in another, and similarly for C.
3. Use Conditional Logic: Use conditional logic to set calculation values based on the user's selection. For example, if the user selects A in a question, add 1 to the total for A; if B, add 1 to the total for B, and so on.
4. Sum the Totals: Use the Form Calculation widget to sum all the values for A's, B's, and C's separately.
5. Display the Results: You can display these totals on the form or use them in email notifications or thank you pages.

This setup requires using the Form Calculation widget and conditional logic to count each choice and sum them up.

Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

Hi Carolyn,

I would be happy to help with your question. If you want to calculate the number of A, B, and C answers, you can do so via the following:

1. Add a Number field for each question and each option.

2. Add the same calculation value for each option.

3. Create an Update/Calculate Field conditions for each question like you see below:

4. Add Form Calculation widgets and add the total As and Bs answer:

5. Finally, create a Show and Hide condition to Show the Paragraph field depending on the Total As and Bs:

We also have a guide about How to Perform Calculations Using a Widget that you can check out.

Give it a try and let us know if you need any help.

Thanks Brandon, I will give this a try. What I had been doing was putting the input of the A. B and C after the last question. And I had set up the conditions for each question after where the total were supposed to go. But I have had no luck yet getting the total boxes to populate the correct totals.

Hi Carolyn,

That makes complete sense. I would be happy to revisit that idea if this solution does not work out. Let us know if you have any further questions after trying this one.
