Hello,

Sorry if this seems like a very simple question.
I have one question type set up as a numerical input called dogweight
And another question set up as a equation type. Called PV. In the equation I put PV: dogweight/0.025

After I save and test this I do not get a result. Am I missing something? It's probably something obvious :lol:

Thank you for your help and time.

- Tori

Did you use "{}" around the equation?
Code:
{dogweight/0.025}

This works for me (needs to be in the question text of your equation question of course)

Also: What means "I do not get a result"? You should at least see the text "dogweight/0.025" written in your equation question. Otherwise you have put the equation in the wrong place.

Do not put the equation into "Logic" --> "Equation", but in the "Question" field, where normall the text of the question goes.

@holch

Thank you so much! My issue was I was putting it in the "Equation" area. After moving it to the Question field it works.
