Sum a Multiple Numerical Input

Hi Team,
I need to sum a multiple numerical input question, and use the sum value in piped text via Expression Manager.
Is there a way to do this?JavaScript?

Thank you all,
David

As always, thank you Denis!

Hi !,

here is a way to have the sum under the multiple numerical input question ? (not in the body of the question)

number of women:
number of men:
Total:

thx for your help !

Hi, taltos,

It is done out of the box if you use a question of type "array(texts)"

Following "Advanced settings"


And result:

Hi Joffm,

thanks for your hint to the built in column, row and total sums! makes asking and answering questions on budgets really easy. a hidden gem to me - but maybe I should just read the docs

My only problem here was, that the labels for the Totals ("Total" etc.) are not translated in LS 2.6.4 LTS, whereas in the above example where you use a more recent version of LS they already are.



I'd like to translate these (s. manual.limesurvey.org/Translating_LimeSurvey , translate.limesurvey.org/projects/limesu.../de/default/?filters [term]=total) but for the moment I just wanted to quick (and dirty) replace the "Total" by "Gesamt" and just scripted this:



This works, but: I'm not a programmer - so my (probably naive) question is: is there an easier way to solve this without scripting (e.g. edit the .mo?), and: are there any possible negative side effects here with the script above? (e.g. naming of function, variables, etc.).


Best,
G

Total is a valid German word too So I wouldn't call it a missing translation. But Gesamt is more common.

You can modify the language files. But I wouldn't call it easier, since if a update comes along, the files might get overwritten. The workaround looks OK to me.

Not sure if the newest LTS is using Total or Gesamt.

Hi jelo,

thanks for your response! I use the latest LTS and it says "Total" - which is also German indeed, but I'd prefer "Gesamt" or "Summe" in this case Thanks also for looking at the short script - I guess if I do not accidentally use an existing function name no too bad things should happen here

Thanks! Best, G

You stated LS 2.6.4 LTS. The newest LTS is 2.6.6+ 171111. Looks really like an incomplete translation.

Hi jelo,

thanks! yes, you're right - I'm using LS 2.6.6-lts Build 171111 - I only used column sums and not the grand total, so I did not notice that there is both "Gesamt" and "Total" - is that to be filed as a "bug"? How could I help here? Seems that translations are a bit more complicated than just editing the .mo directly at github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/master/locale/de/de.mo - one has to edit the according .po with poedit.

Best, G

Hi there
I am working on adding multiple sums. I don't see Advanced settings to set the columns for addition. Can I get some help on how to do this? Thanks

Hello
This is what I am trying to sum.
How can I do this in the simplest way possible?

4.A. 1
(2) ..........................
4.B. (1)
(2)
(3)
4.C. Sum of 4.A(1) through 4.B(3)

Don't ask the same question in three different posts.

See my answer in the other one.
