Hi @madouur3384,

Using a note type question will let you do that. You can take a look at this help article:

Hello @madouur3384,
You can able to display the calculation results in note type question or any other questions. Please read this post.

How to calculate a weighted score (a simple composite index) while collecting data with KoBoToolbox?

Hi @bamaiyi, You could do this following the instructions outlined below: In the survey tab of your xlsform: [Image 1] Data entry screen as seen in Enketo: [Image 2] Reference xlsform: Weighted Score Sample.xlsx (10.2 KB) Have a great day!

Note, in addition to adding an extra note question into your form to display calculation results (as correctly described above), another option is to use a regular question type - but with a calculation result - and make it read_only so that the user cant actually edit the result.

Each approach has its advantages & disadvantages: a separate note gives you far more control over the formatting and how to display the result, whereas a read-only calculation results in fewer form questions and less extraneous submission data.
