Hi everyone !

I want to sum answers and then apply a condition to this sum. However, as I am using skipping logic, some values might not be answered. Here is my qquestionnaire :

(Q1)"Do you have A or B ?" (multiple choice : A / B / None)
(Q2)If A selected : "How much do you get from A ?"
(Q3)If B selected : "How much do you get from B ?"
(Q4)Calculate Q2+Q3 
(Q5)"What is your income?" (Validation criteria : check that Q5 > Q4)

This calculation works fine as long as A and B are selected. However, when only A is selected for example, the validation criteria doesn't work.
To solve that, I entered default values of 0. It is now OK for online submissions, but on the Kobo collect app it is still not working...

Do you know how I can solve this issue and set default values on the app as well ? 

Thank you very much for your help !

Marion

Hi,

You will need to introduce an if condition that returns value of 0 if either A or B is not selected.

Please have a look at this document;

Thank you, that seems a very helpful page !
Another question if I may : is there a tool to edit automatically the questionnaire in a readable way for my colleagues ? For instance a simple list of the questions, with the corresponding possible answers and conditional checks..

Best regards,

Marion

Hi Marion,

Someone in the ODK forum had created an app for that, not sure how far it is but, you can try it;


Let me know how it goes.
