Adding calculations inside a Matrix type question

[mireillejazi]

Hello,

I was wondering if we can let a table matrix in kobo have automatic calculations (e.g. auto calculating the total number of females/males within the table). please find picture attached.

Thank you.

Hi @mireillejazi,

There is a wonderful compilation by Kal in here that shows you calculate in matrix:

Calculate yes option in Matrix Questions

Welcome to the community, @Fayed! Yes, but it’s only possible through the xlsform. Maybe these post discussed previously should help you visualize adding calculations within your matrix question: Workaround 1: Workaround 2: Workaround 3: Workaround 4:

Also you can try the famous search option in the forum:
