Feature proposal for StatCount Plugin was created by jbarrouillet
Your LimeSurvey version: V6.4.0
Survey theme/template: Fruity
==================
Hi,
I think it should be nice to upgrade StatCount Plugin with a SUM fonction on NUMERIC FIELD.

Example :
I need to make a survey to collect pledge of financial donation to a association.
I want to indicate, on a question texte, wich sum was collecte on the previous answers. To obtain this information, i need to make a SUM, on the previous answers, on a the numérical field "amount promised".

I'm looking on GetStatInSurvey but this plugin is not tested on V6 and Denis Chenu told me that StatCount is more powerfull.

Thanks for your interest on my request.

Hmmm, but that has nothing to do with the GetStatInSurvey or StatCount plugins, if I understand you correctly.

Because these are there to give you statistics about the different responses from different respondents. Like 55% so far have responded 'X".

From what I understand is, you want to sum responses given by the same person in the same questionnaire, right?

You can use expression manager/script to do this.

But maybe I understood you wrong.

No, it's really the sum of all previous responses in the survey.

Here part of the original question in the French part.

...to display a text display type question such as:
“We have already collected 22 pledges for an amount of X euros.
” X being the sum of a numeric field of responses already submitted. 22 being the number of responses.

OK, then I read the initial proposal wrong.

YES, "it's really the sum of all previous responses in the survey".
Exactly like all the function count of StatCount, but, with SUM on a numérical question type.

Thank you

OK, so you get the information about collected pledges from different people and you want to show the sum of the pledges, understood.

It was an exemple, but yes, it's that i want to do.
An other example :
There is a manifestation with 40 places. We can subscribe 1 time with a name and a number of people wich will come. This field called "Number of people". I need to make a SUM on this field to compare 40 with the numbers of people wich will come. If it's over 40, i can't send the inscription.

Sorry for my english !

Make sense.
However, here there will only be a discussion among users if a feature makes sense.

To make real feature request you need to go to bugs.limesurvey.org, switch to "feature request" (I think you can find it on the top right) and then describe your feature.

I would support this.

Please mention the feature request that you define here, so people that read the forum (probably more people read the forum than the feature requests) can go to the feature request and add their support.

From my own experience I can say that when you mention that it is worth something for you (in euros or dollars) some plugin developer may want to help you sooner.... ;-)
