Hi Forum,
I'm currently working on a survey where I want to make some calculations in expression script. In one variable, I'm applying a simple division, e.g.: Q1_SQ001/Q2_SQ001. Later, I wanted to sum this value to others, but the result was always 0. By using the is_string() function, I found out that Result of the Variable actually gets stored as a string. Does anyone know why this happens, or how to change this?

It's always better to send a lss export of these questions.

Now we have to guess which question types are Q1 and Q2,
​​​​​​ how exactly you implemented this.

Please, ease our life, help us to help you.

Sorry, but without your lss export it is not possible to answer.

I tried to built a survey according to your explanation.
 

Now I calculate:
Q1_SQ001/Q2_SQ001
and then I add Q1_SQ002 to this result.

Everything is fine.
 

What do you do?
