I have a problem to add a calculate question on the existing template on the kobotool box. I have no idea to fix the error message now. Please suggest me.

Hi @Tz_01523 and welcome to the community!

Can you share a screenshot of the error message you are getting?

Yes Sir

@Tz_01523,

Can you validate your form in here also, and share the screenshot so we can see the syntax issues a little bit better?

Can you download your form in xls format and try to upload it for validation?

@Tz_01523, it seems like you are having syntax issues here. When looking at the error message, I can see the following:

... +{March_income}+{April_income}+{May_income}+...

You are missing a $ sign before your variable. It should be something like this …

... +${March_income}+${April_income}+${May_income}+...

You should be able to learn more about the calculations through this support article Advanced Calculate Question Type.
