Hi there,
Is it possible to insert a calculate question but where Kobo automatically adds together a number of integer values from within the same question?
For example:
Q. How many latrines in the refugee camp?
A. 5+8+4+6
Kobo automatically adds these together
I could create a separate question for each sub-total within a field list and then insert a calculate question, but that would be a little clunky and it would not be possible to predict how many sub-totals would be needed.
This is specifically needed for staff observing numbers of facilities over a large geographical area, any ideas or recommendations welcome.
Thanks,
John
Hi!
I didn’t understand the “5+8+4+6” value… are 4 response of a 4 times repeat loop? Do you need the total of the looped answers?
Thank you
Angelo

Hi Angelo,
Thanks for the quick response.
No, this would not be a repeat question, but a single question. I would like the form to accept “5+8+4+6” or “5,8,4,6” (or something similar) as a text or integer value and calculate them. A slightly odd request, I know.
Thanks,
John

ok ok not a problem i understood now.
i’m thinking an elegant solution but, in the meanwhile… just a question: the number are just from 0 to 9 and the user cannot repeat them? there is a maximum number of response the user can give? i mean could the response is: 4+4+2+2+1+3+1+1+9? in you example were just 4 …
Thanks

The numbers should be any integer (e.g. 4+13+10+4+10+4) and they can be repeated. No maximum number of responses.
Interested to hear your elegant solution!
Thanks

hi, no way to solve it in a single free input text field…
the simplest and elegant solution is a repeated group with a text (number appearance) that colect the responses and a sum on that field…see attachment files examples

Hi Angelo,
I thought as much. Thank you so much for your time and for the attached example of a loop. This will meet my needs.
All the best,
John
