Dear All, can we calculate the average score from single choice in a likert scale?

Welcome to the community, @ngolahdata21! Could you kindly show us a sample of how the question looks like and how your data is structured?

Hi Kal, nice to see you!

For example;

  1. Q1 Satisfied score for Q1; Q2 satisfied score for Q2; etc.
  2. A1. Show average/mean score (from Q1, Q2, etc) to control the consistency

Please noted that Q1,Q2, etc is a single answer type (not integer) . Is it possible in Kobo?

Thank you in advance

Yes, this can be done. We have a workaround for this that has been discussed previously.

Hi Kal,

Thank you for your feedback. Really appreciate.
But, I think it does’nt fit ith my problem. I need to show the average/mean score (not sum/total) after the respondents answer all questions.
I want to share my XLS template for your undertanding.but i don’t know to attach the file.

Thank you.

You should now be able to share your xlsform. BTW, you could follow a workaround that calculates the average …

Hi Kal,

Thanks for sharing the file. I think your file is about to find an average from integer not single answer.
Please find attached, hope it help you to understand this problem.
Thank you in advance.

Do you wish to see the average of A1_1 to C11_1?

Hi Kal,

Sure. Is it possible?

try this (and its 26 'cause you appear to have 26 questions):

average: (${A1_1} + ${A2_1} + ... + ${C11_1}) / 26

Note, you’ll probably see “NaN” until you answer all the questions, but since they are all required this should be OK.
