Hi,

I have a problem that I tried many times but cannot solve, could anyone help?
My question:

Array1: a1, a2, a3, a4, a5
Array2: b1, b2, b3, b4, b5 (hide until 5 answers from Array1 is all chosen)
Array3: c1, c2, c3, c4, c5 (hide until 5 answers from Array2 is chosen)

Total: sum of the answers selected from Array1,2&3

My problem is:
if the participant chose only 3 answers from Array1, the total {count(that.Array1,that.Array2,that.Array3)} should only display "3". However, it cannot calculate or display anything. When I do a test: I created an individual questions in between Array1&2 to do the counting, and it can display "3" correctly. Why can't I make the count when Array2 & 3 are hiding?

It will be greatly appreciate if somebody can help, many thanks.

Hello, gywon1,
correct, it cannot calculate, because there are still some missing fields.
This is normal behaviour.

You have to use "NAOK".

{count(that.A1.NAOK,that.A2.NAOK,that.A3.NAOK)}

Dear Joffm,

Oh, yes. It works. Thank you so much. I forgot about this suffix and tried to use shown, but it doesn't work here
Thank you for your help, really appreciated.
