I have been searching through the forum but haven't quite found an answer to this particular question.

We are currently creating a survey with questions that are A, B, C or D as answer and in the end we generate a report of this with the answers. However, we want to draw conclusions (show statistics) in the current (of one) survey.

So let's say this survey has just one question and we want to add values to the answers (In this case risk factors).

A = Positive = 0% = no risk
B = Negative = 100% = risk!
C = Could be improved = 50% = needs to be improved
D = Not applicable to user

Which means, if A is answered, there is no risk of question A
Which means, if B is answered, there is a full risk of question A
Which means, if C is answered, there is some risk of question A
Which means, if D is answered, this answer is not taken into account of question A

Can we solve and get a conclusion by using the Expression Manager?
We will be having more questions like this (let's say there are 5 in total), how can we calculate the total risk within these 5 questions while all weigh in the same amount?

It would be great if we can use this summary in the report generated as well. And even if we can show the user these results at the end of the survey before submitting their answers.


And last but not least, is there a way to show this in a graph? Lots of questions but the forum has always been helpfull and full of expertise when it comes to things like this

how can we calculate the total risk within these 5 questions while all weigh in the same amount?

Yes, of course you can.
But only you know how you are going to calculate the total risk.
Is it just the mean of the risk values to these questions? Or more sophisticated? No problem.
You have the whole implemented functions of Expression manager
manual.limesurvey.org/Expression_Manager...mplemented_functions

And where do you display the summary?
In a question of type "text display" at the end, or in the Thank You message?
Both is possible. You have access to the calculated variables.

Regarding the graph:
There is an example here by tpartner showing a google graph, some time ago.
