change "total" text on constant sum question | XM Community
Skip to main content
Hi,

I'd like to change the text at the bottom of a matrix constant sum question from "Total" to something else. Javscript isn't my forte--how could I do this?

Thanks!
Is Total on the right or bottom?

It's on the bottom, by scale point. Thanks.
Add this to the addOnload function:
```
jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .c1:last").html("New Total Label");
```

It appears Qualtrics has made a change to the html structure since this question and answer were originally posted. Try this instead:
```
jQuery("label[for="+this.questionId+"_Total]").html("New Total Label");
```
Dear Tom, thanks for your help. Unfortunately this one does not work in my case either to override the standard label.

I used: Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{
jQuery("label[for="+this.questionId+"_Total]").html("New Total Label");
});

Any clues?
@_Hannah1073,

Start a new thread and post _details_ on your specific constant sum question (e.g., settings, image, etc.).
Is there a code to change the total label in a constant sum matrix table with the Total column on the right?
