LimeSurvey version: 3.17.0+190402Own server or LimeSurvey hosting: Own SurveySurvey theme/template: Fruit==================Dears,I want to do a survey that shows the end-users a couple of questions. Depending on his/her answers. An overall score will show up.Below is the draft survey so you can get the idea. Have you ever shared your password with someone else?

• No
• Yes
• It depends

Do you have antivirus software on your mobile?

• Yes
• No
• Sometimes

 If the end-users answer (Yes) for both questions, then a message appears to him/her that the score is Excellent.If the answer to both questions is (No), the score is Bad, and so on. I know there is a condition function, but it can't be done because my survey has more than 10 questions and more than 3 answers to each question.Therefore, I'm seeking your support to advise me on a better way to do this method.Thank you.

Hi,
you may use all functions that you find here
[url] www.limesurvey.org/manual/ExpressionScri...mplemented_functions [/url] 
to calculate your score.
Usually you will use the "sum()" function, optionally with some "IFs"

And to calculate you either use the code of the answer options (obviously you have to use numerical codes) or you use the assessment values of the answer options.
Advantage of the second approach: You can use the same value for different options and you can use negative values.
And how you access these values to use them in your sum, read here
[url] www.limesurvey.org/manual/ExpressionScri...#Access_to_variables [/url]
You see, there is
a. QCode, QCode.code, QCode.NAOK with the description "the selected response code for the question"
b. QCode.value, QCode.valueNAOK with the description "the assessment value for the question"

Knowing this, you may create a question of type equation with your desired sum, like
{sum(Q1.NAOK,Q2.NAOK,Q3_SQ001.NAOK,Q3_SQ002.NAOK,Q4.valueNAOK,that.Q5.NAOK)}
You see you can mix codes and assessment values.

And of course you can create more sophisticated ways to calculate your score.
Here an example that uses "multiple" questions
{sum(if(Q1_SQ001.NAOK=="Y",1,0),if(Q1_SQ002.NAOK=="Y",5,2),if(Q1_SQ003.NAOK=="Y",-7,7),if(Q1_SQ004.NAOK=="Y",0,10))}
You see the meaning:
If the first subquestion was selected, add 1 else add 0
If the second subquestion was selected, add 5 else add 2
If the third subquestion was selected, subtract 7 else add 7
If the fourth subquestion was selected, add 0 else add 10
​​​​​​​
But you should always use NAOK.

Otherwise the function will fail, if there is a missing element (because of a filter).

Now start to create something.
In case of more questions, send your approach as lss export.

So sharing your password with others gives an excellent score???

Hi Joffm,
Thank you for your reply.
I want to put a value on each answer. Then in the last question, I will use the sum function, and if the sum is = 10, this text appears. If less then this text.
What is the best approach for that?

Step by step:
1. You want to display a text -> question of type "text display"
2. The text depends on a condition -> Expression Manager/Script  {if(condition, text if condition is true,text if condition is false)}
The always used example
[url] www.limesurvey.org/manual/ExpressionScri...7BMrs.7D_Smith....22 [/url]
3. Your condition is the result of the sum -> sum==10:  true, else false.

How to sum I already showed.

Here is an example about this.
The sum of childrens' age is calculated and a text is displayed that depends on the number of children.

Dear Joffm,
Thank you for your support.
It worked with me.
Much appreciated.
