I know you SG guys are busy with a new version, but perhaps some of the lovely community people could help me with my first ever bit of scripting??!

I’m not even sure if this is possible, but:

I have a very basic survey; 4 pages containing 3 or 4 radio button questions each.

All questions score the same; 0,2,4,6 or NA

Here’s what I want to try and do:

1. Count number of Questions on page and set as a variable (QP)

2. Set Maximum page value (MV) varialble (QP*6)

3. Count scores from questions - ignoring NA answers

4. Divide the total score for the page by the number of answers that weren’t NA

5. Calculate the score as a percentage of the total possible

Firstly, can this even be done? Secondly, please can someone help me get started??

1) You would have to set this manually at this time such as:
%%page1 == 7;
2) %%mpv == %%page1 * 6;
3) You would be doing an if statement such as:
if (sgapiGetValue(%%ident) != ‘NA’){
%%count = sgapiGetValue(%%ident) + %%count;
%%notnacount == %%notnacount+1;
}
This is adding the totals together if the value is not NA and also adding 1 to the variable that counts the number of not NA questions
4) %%score = %%count / %%notnacount;
5) %%percent = %%score / %%mpv * 100;

Fair warning, I’m not the custom scripting expert at SG, so all mistakes are completely intentionally and my fault. ;) In some cases, it’s best to just start playing with it after creating a ‘test’ survey of 1 or 2 pages.
