I am building a multiple choice survey where recipients select either A or B to select the statement that best reflects them. Is there a way to tally and show recipients how many A vs B answers were selected at the end? I’d like to follow up with statements specific to those who selected mostly As and those who selected mostly Bs.

Hi @Linatran Happy Tuesday! Thanks for stopping by the community. You could definitely do something like this with variables and then recall that number on an ending screen. 

@john.desborough do you have a cheat sheet for tallying scores into variables like this?

@Liz @Linatran 

no cheatsheet but it is as simple as this:

  • create two custom variables - v_A and v_B to act as subtotals and a third to use for routing ie v_where
  • add logic rules on each question that add 1 to the subtotal 
    • if q1 =A then add 1 to v_A
    • if q1 = B then add 1 to v_B
  • to determine where to route the user, 
    • if v_A is greater than or equal to  0 add v_A to v_where
    • if v_B is greater than or equal to 0 subbtract v_B from v_where
    • if v_where is greater than 0 go to ending_A 
    • if v_where is less than 0 go to ending_B
    • NOTE: you might want to think about what to do if they are equal.. but if if you have an odd number of questions that would never happen … 

simple enough?
