==================
Hi!
I'm a relatively new to LimeSurvey so the answer to this might be very obvious to some but I couldn't find the info elsewhere: I'm setting up a survey that contains an assessment part for which I am using the array by column question type. So, this assessment contains sub-questions with multiple answer options, but there's only one correct answer for each sub-question. At first I thought that I could add an assessment value to each correct answer, but this does not take into account the column under which the answer is selected (there's only one correct answer per column and per row, and each correct answer increases the participants' score by 1).
From what I've found, I can instead set this condition:
{sum(
IF(Q1_SQ001 =="A",1,0),
IF(Q1_SQ002=="B",1,0),
IF(Q1_SQ003=="X",1,0),
IF(Q1_SQ004=="Y",1,0)
)}
However, I could not find any information about whether this score will be stored in the final data file, or how I would need to go about storing the score, or if it's even possible to store the score or whether it's just something used for feedback purposes. How would I go about storing the score with the rest of the data (if that's possible)?

 

Assessment scores are NEVER stored in the database. So if you would use the traditional "assessment" feature, you would have to store this in a hidden question or something anyway.

What you do is calculate your score in a (hidden once you tested and it works) equation question. This way it is stored in the database. You can check this if you activate your survey and put in some data. You'll see that the value will be stored in this equation question and you can work with it later (or even within the same survey).

Hi,
you do not "set a condition",
you create a question of type "equation" with this function.

Please remove the typos.
"X" 150" ???
" Y " ???

Then the value is stored with the code of this question (as all other questions)

Ah ok thank you, this clarifies things. I'll check that out!

Oops, I don't know where those numbers came from, my bad! I fixed the typos now.
Ah ok, good to know. Thank you!

Since I am using array by column and since the answers are selected with radio buttons, I was wondering if Q1_SQ003 =="X" was the right way to reference the answer . Wouldn't referencing the answer option as "X" only work for text answers? I was looking at the manuals and could not find how to reference the answer variable. I tried Q1_SQ003==Q1_A01 (assuming that the code for answer "X" is A01) but then I get an error message for having an undefined variable.

You need to use the answer codes you are using.

If the relevant answer code is A01, then you need to use Q1_SQ003=="A01".

Q1_A01 doesn't exist in Q1_SQ003, this is why you get the "undefined variable" error. The variable is not Q1_A01, but A01. And you need "" as you seem to use alphanumeric codes and not just numbers.

Aaaah ok that makes sense, thank you!
