How to sum multiple score fields (0-10) to get a total score

Learn how to calculate the total score by summing multiple score fields and display the result using answer piping.

Updated this week

In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the process of calculating a total score by summing multiple score fields (0-10) in your form.

Step 1: Set up your form

Add your score fields: Add multiple score fields to your form, such as Score1 and Score2. These fields will allow users to select a score between 0-10.

In this example, two score fields Score1 and Score2 are added to the form, each allowing scores between 0 and 10.

Add a variable field for total score: Now, add a Variable field to calculate the total score. Name it Total Score and assign an ID to it (e.g., total_score).

Add a content field for the total score: (optional) To display the total score, add a Content field.

This field will use answer piping to display the sum of all score fields.

Now, you can use logic to calculate the total score.

Step 2: Set up logic to calculate the total score

Go to the logic tab: In the form editor, click on one of the score fields (e.g., Score1), then go to the Logic tab from the right side menu.

Add logic for the first score field: Set the logic to add Score1 to the Total Score variable.

  • Condition: If Score1 is answered, then add Score1 to the Total score.

Add logic for the second score field: Similarly, for Score2, set the logic to add Score2 to the Total score variable.

  • Condition: If Score2 is answered, then add Score2 to the Total score.

Step 3: Display the total score using answer piping

You can show the users their total score on the success page or a content field at the end of your form.

Use answer piping to show the total score: In the success page settings, use the answer piping feature to insert the total score.

  • Piping code: Use {{total_score}} or @total_score to display the sum of Score1 and Score2.
