The percentages for Race/Ethnicity can add up to more than 100%. For instance, the example below shows 3 races, each selected at 100%. I can move forward to the next page with these selections even though the total is 300%.

Race/Ethnicty is a very important variable in our data set, how can I code this page so that regardless of how many choices the user makes (it can range from 1 to 5), the total MUST equal 100%?

Also, for the alert message when the user "violates" this rule, the message should indicate that the button choices must total 100%. How can this be done?

Hi,

Think it's etter to use an Array quetsion type:
- To use Array filter
- To use Whole question validation.

Think it's linked to this feature request :

I created an array successfully but am stumped on how to set it up to where it must equal 100%.

Right now, the user can click 100% on "all" the choices (which equals 500% and this not what we want).

Any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

1st : for answer code : use 100,75,50,12 and 0

And use something like this:
sum(that)<=100)
