Giving weights for options

[Kal_Lam]

We have plenty of examples in our community for assigning weights. Maybe it should give you an idea of how it looks like:

Example 1:

Question Selection and point Calculation (weighted score/simple composite index)

Hi @PALASH9698, You could do this in a simple way as outlined in the image below: In the survey tab of your xlsform: [Image 1] In the choices tab of your xlsform: [Image 2] Data entry screen as seen in Enketo: [Image 3] Reference xlsform: Weighted Score Sample.xlsx (11.9 KB) Have a great day!

Example 2:

How to build an eligibility criteria from the weight assigned to certain conditions (composite index)

Thanks for your reply. However, in your example when a condition is not met, the eligibility score should still remain 1 (as a result of age). There should be nothing scoree on the assistance question because income support and small business was selected which should result in zero eventhough day care was selected, which by itself would have scored 1… So the solution you presented does not capture what I stated in the example

Example 3:

Calculating a weighted score using the if statement in KoBoToolbox

Dear Kal_Lam, Q1-Q6 (Only 5 score is added) if anyone Q1-Q6= Yes, some difficulty, a lot of difficulty score will be =5 or if anyone Select only one question Yes, some difficulty,a lot of difficulty then also score will be =5 else anybody Q1-Q6 select No, no difficulty,Cannot do it at all then score =0 Best Regards Palash

Example 4:

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

Hi @Kal_Lam, Thank you for your willingness to support and help. Here are some examples in addition to the one earlier shared. Household size ( If <5 score=0; if >5 and <10 score = 1; if >=11 score=2) Number of Livestock (if <5 score=2; if >=6 score=1) Farm size (if <2 score= 2 ; if >=2 score=0) Daily Household income (if <$2 score=2; if >=$3 and <$5 score=1; if >=$5 score=0)

Hi @scherrie, So here is the other variable that you have been requesting for: You could do the following as outlined in the image below: In the survey tab of your xlsform: [Image 1] In the choices tab of your xlsform: [Image 2] Data entry screen as seen in Enketo: [Image 3] Reference xlsform: Disability Cumulative Score for HH (Modified_2020 05 12).xlsx (11.7 KB) Have a great day!
