Automatically add points from a Typeform quiz to a Google Sheets doc


Hi there,

We have created a quiz with multiple choice questions and are collecting both individual and group scores, per section (e.g. 5 questions in Finance, 5 questions in General Knowledge, etc).

My question is, whether there is a way to have the individual scores (e.g. 5/10 or just 5) automatically populate a Google Sheets file?

I've seen your video and can see that it works with 'written answers', but I would like to know if it also works with a scoring system/quiz?

Thanks

@mph1lly - if you search the community or the typeform Help Hub you will find details but here are some bullet points below

  • click on the Logic link on the upper right hand corner of your builder screen. 
  • click Advanced and then click Variables
  • create a variable and give it a name ie subtotal_one, set it to numeric (as opposed to text) then save it
  • now go to the Simple Logic tab and choose branching and calculation, 
    • scroll down to the first question where you are going to assign points
      • create a logic rule that says something like
        • if q1 = A then add 1 to subtotal_one
        • if qq1 =B then add 2 to subtotal_one.. 

repeat the assignment of values for all the questions to the subtotal variables that created and you should have the necessary info..

hope that helps get you started

@mph1lly - i do this a lot in my assessment forms: i create a subtotal variable as the user answers questions and those variables are submitted to google sheets as part of the data package.

Thanks @john.desborough ,

I will need to investigate this. Do you have a link to a page or more details about how to create the subtotal variable?
