Your LimeSurvey version: Version 3.28.47
Own server
==================
Hi,

I am currently trying to figure out how to display the sum of responses to a multiple-choice question beneath the question itself.

The multiple-choice question asks for one of the following responses: daily, weekly, or monthly.

I would like to use a text display under the question to show how many times each option has been selected.

As a bonus feature, I'm interested in showing only the stats for the current month. Therefore, it might be useful to limit the summation to responses from the current month only.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to achieve this?

Hi,
in your version you can use the plugin "getStatInSurvey"
[url] gitlab.com/SondagesPro/ExportAndStats/getStatInSurvey [/url]
This gives you the oppotunity to count the frequencies of your three options.
: shows the number of answer A1 to question Qcode

To get a monthly display I should say, you combine the actual month with the given answer in an equation (like "01_1",... "06_2", "10_3" and count these. 
Just an idea. If I have time I will try.

Since version 5.x. there is a core plugin "statFunctions".


 

Hi,
just to confirm:
My mentioned idea works.
In  an equation (eqQ1) after your question (Q1) enter
{join(date('m'),Q1)}
"date('m') returns the two digit number of the month (01...12)

And where you want to display the result, enter a nested IF like
for the answer option with code "1"
{if(date('n')==1,'[eqQ1.nb.011]',if(date('n')==2,'[eqQ1.nb.021]',if(date('n')=,'[eqQ1.nb.031]',if(date('n')==4,'[eqQ1.nb.041]',if(date('n')==5,'[eqQ1.nb.051]',if(date('n')==6,'[eqQ1.nb.061]',if(date('n')==7,'[eqQ1.nb.071]',if(date('n')==8,'[eqQ1.nb.081]',if(date('n')==9,'[eqQ1.nb.091]',if(date('n')==10,'[eqQ1.nb.101]',if(date('n')==11,'[eqQ1.nb.111]',if(date('n')==12,'[eqQ1.nb.121]',''))))))))))))}

"date('n')" returns the number of the month (1...12)
You see "011", "021", "031", ... is the joined two digit month number and the answer option code.
what we did in the equation "eqQ1"

And I added it to the answer option directly and added the total number with [Q1.nb.1]
And to display the month name ? "date('F')"
See

Rough example without a better styling

Thank you so much for your help! I was going to update my current instance to 6.x, since 3.x has been discontinued in june. There are still updates but who knows for how long. The plugin will also be availble in 6.x, right?

I will spin up a limesurvey 6.x instance and copy the current state of the survey over and try your suggestion!

Thanks so much!

As I wrote:

Using this you avoid the nested IF with only
{statCountIf(eqQ1.sgqa, join(date('m'),1))}
with "1" as the code of the first answer option.

Spun up a limesurvey 6.x instance and tested it out with my current survey. Worked like a charm. Thank you so much.

Only thing I had trouble first, was activating the StatFunctions plugin. I had to press Scan files to install it. Wasn't metioned anywhere on the  www.limesurvey.org/manual/StatFunctions page.

The manual is a wiki. You should be able to add it.

I think need an update of www.limesurvey.org/manual/Plugin_manager#General
