Summing multiple variables in one action
March 11, 2010 12:00 AM
I'm creating a 30 question (multiple choice) assessment that will provide feedback to the learner based on their score.
For example:
Your score: 0-6 "You need to do something"
7-12 "You're close but need to XXX more"
13-18 "this feeback"
19-30 "Congrats..etc"
I'm setting an action on the radio buttons that assigns a point value based on their response.
At the end, I need to add up the values of those 30 questions. Upon research, I see that I have to have 30 actions that:
Action: Modify Variable
target: grandTotal
Value: (the point value corresponding to their answer)
Modification type: Add to variable
It would be cleaner, to have one action that:
Action: Modify Variable
target: grandTotal
Value: (q1, q2, g3, q4, and so on up to 20)
Modification type: "Sum Value" or "Total Values" or the like
Much like Excel does a SUM(value1, value2, etc)
If anyone knows of an existing syntax that does this in one action, I'd love to hear about it!
