Old example survey on LS 3.25.7 was created by pepnoguera
 Hi everyone,For a couple of weeks now I've been trying to create a survey where I want my multiple choice questions to have a hidden value attached. I've search the forums and finally found this:[url] forums.limesurvey.org/forum/can-i-do-thi...iple-choice-question [/url]

Here is the code I'm interested in:
Code:
$(document).ready(function() {           // Identify the questions         var qID = {QID};         var thisQuestion = $('#question'+qID);         var prevMultiChoice = $(thisQuestion).prevAll('.multiple-opt:eq(0)');                  // Hide this question         $('#question'+qID).hide();                  // Find the initial score         var totalScore = 0;         $('input.checkbox:checked', prevMultiChoice).each(function(i) {             var thisScore = $(this).attr('id').slice(-1);             totalScore = totalScore + Number(thisScore);         });         // Store the score         $('input[type="text"]', thisQuestion).val(totalScore);           // Listener on the checkboxes         $('input.checkbox', prevMultiChoice).change(function(event) {             // Find the score             totalScore = 0;             $('input.checkbox:checked', prevMultiChoice).each(function(i) {                 var thisScore = $(this).attr('id').slice(-1);                 totalScore = totalScore + Number(thisScore);             });             // Store the score             $('input[type="text"]', thisQuestion).val(totalScore);         });     });

I'm very new to LS and programming, but I'm pretty sure that this is what I've been looking for. Unfortunately, when I import the survey to LS 3.25.7 it doesn't work. What am I missing here?

Thanks!

I'm not surprised that it doesn't work after 7+ years.

Why the JavaScript? You can generate scores with ExpressionScript?

Code:
{score = sum(if(Q1_SQ001 =='Y', 1, 0), if(Q1_SQ002 =='Y', 3, 0), if(Q1_SQ003 =='Y', 1, 0), if(Q1_SQ004 =='Y', 2, 0))}
Cheers,

I don't know. I found it clearer to use the SQ id to retrieve a value.

My objective is to create an enrollment survey. Each course has its modules with differents prices and you can choose which modules you want to enlist in.

Until now, what I've got is something similar to your proposal:
Code:
{if(!is_empty(Q1_SQ001), 1, 0)}

But I wanted something more readable as I have to change the values of this SQ constantly and I have at least 13 SQ in each survey. I found that having the SQ code next to the module's name was easier for me to understand.

Anyway, your solution works and at the end of the day that's what matters.

Thank you.

Hi,

But I wanted something more readable as I have to change the values of this SQ constantly and I have at least 13 SQ in each survey

then I show you a really easy way to create these equations.

Assuming you have 5 subquestions and want to set the assessment values like
Subquestion 1: 1
Subquestion 2: 1
Subquestion 3: 2
Subquestion 4: 3
Subquestion 5: 3

First the "long" easy to understand version  (tpartner already showed):
You use the IF-statement:
{sum(
IF(Q1_SQ001=="Y",1,0),
IF(Q1_SQ002=="Y",1,0),
IF(Q1_SQ003=="Y",2,0),
IF(Q1_SQ004=="Y",3,0),
IF(Q1_SQ005=="Y",3,0)
)}

Here without the IF (knowing that a TRUE term is evaluated as "1")
​​​​​{sum(
intval(Q1_SQ001.NAOK=="Y") *1,
intval(Q1_SQ002.NAOK=="Y") *1,
intval(Q1_SQ003.NAOK=="Y") *2,
intval(Q1_SQ004.NAOK=="Y") *3,
intval(Q1_SQ005.NAOK=="Y") *3
)}

And this you can easily create in a spreadsheet with some concatination:

Thanks Joffm. That's perfect. I finally did what tpartner suggested, but I'll keep your version in mind for future reference.
