I think this should be quite easy to do but haven't found any documentation on it.

I currently have setup an assessment and at the end, the total will be displayed using {TOTAL}. Is it possible for me to display a percentage instead of just the total score? That is, I would like to use a calculated field {TOTAL}/N * 100%, where N is the number of questions (known fixed value).

And if that is possible, would this also be able to be sent in the Confirmation email. At the moment, I am able to display the number of questions correct using {ASSESSMENT_CURRENT_TOTAL} in the email body.

Please advise. Thanks!

To do these calculations you will need a equation question and do the calculation according to the functions of Expression Manager.

Should be simple, probably you just need to put something like the equation you actually wrote already into a equation type question. Then you can check the result. Once that is done I would hide the equation type question and would display the total score in a text display question, where you can put also other text and then reference to the value written in the equation question.

Thanks for your advice. It has put me on the right track for sure. It's always great to discover new features in LimeSurvey!

I've been reading the manual and trying to get this working the way I need it. I'm just stuck at the point of the equation type question. For some reason, I can't seem to get it to display the calculated value. It keeps displaying the formula except that it did replace the value of the {ASSESSMENT_CURRENT_TOTAL} properly. So it's just displaying something like (4/10) * 100 instead of 40. I've tried adding an assignment operator ( but it just displays the additional = then. Have also tried using an if statement since the examples seem to all have if statements but it just displays the statement.

Is there something I'm missing? Please help!

Thanks,
Karen

I've just figured out what I'm missing. I should have put the curly braces around the whole equation and drop the one for the ASSESSMENT_CURRENT_TOTAL. Now works fine. Thanks for all the help!

Hi, I know this was posted 2 years ago but hoping you can help.
This thread helped me also create a percentage assessment score but now I am getting for example 90.322580645161%, how do I get the assessment to show less decimal places?

Very very new at this, self taught everything so far.

Replying to my own post, I used some knowledge of excel and gave it a go. Worked a treat!

Used:
{round(ASSESSMENT_CURRENT_TOTAL/93*100)}%

Well you're quicker than me for sure Good job! That was what I did too and you can also specify the precision if you want to.

I was wondering if you managed to have it display the score for each group at the end and then the total. When ever I used ASSESSMENT_CURRENT_TOTAL obviously it's just showing me the current score so it was all the same, then I tried to do {sum(q1,q2,q3)} but still no luck

To access the assesment value via EM you need to use questioncode.value, something like this:

{sum(q1.value,q2.value,q3.value)}

.

If you just use the question code you just get the answer code.

Thank you!! That's exactly what I needed! Still getting the hang of EM
