Hi MatthewM ,
Just change the for loop, you will see the symbols added in 2nd column only.
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{
var inputs = $(this.getQuestionContainer()).select('input[type="text"]');
for (var i = 1; i < inputs.length; i+=2) {
 var input = inputssi];
 $(input).insert({before: '$ '});
 $(input).insert({after: ' .00'});
}
});

Thank you SurajK!
I used the code and it adds $ and .00 on the text input fields, but took it away from the Total line. Is there a way to insert these on the Total line too?

https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/comment/29369#Comment_29369Ok, so in this case we can add 2 extra lines for the total box and using index we can add the symbols like below, as per your screenshot, the total box has index 6.
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{
var inputs = $(this.getQuestionContainer()).select('input[type="text"]')
for (var i = 1; i < inputs.length; i+=2) {
 var input = inputssi];
 $(input).insert({before: '$ '});
 $(input).insert({after: ' .00'});
}
jQuery('inputptype="text"]').eq(6).before('$')
jQuery('inputptype="text"]').eq(6).after(' .00')
});

That did it! Thank you so much!

SurajK How are you buddy?
I wanted to check how to program the distinct signs/text per column. Please see screenshot to give you the graphic:
Appreciate your kind help in advance! :)
Best,
Abhi

Abi - I'm good, hope you are doing well too!
You can use the below code to insert the text before and after the open end, as per your screenshot.
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function()
{
//First Column
jQuery('#'+this.questionId+' tbody tr .c4 input[type="text"]').after('% increase in ORR')
jQuery('#'+this.questionId+' tbody tr .c4 input[type="text"]').before('Absolute')
//Second Column
jQuery('#'+this.questionId+' tbody tr .c5 input[type="text"]').after('months over SoC')
jQuery('#'+this.questionId+' tbody tr .c5 input[type="text"]').before('+')
//Third Column
jQuery('#'+this.questionId+' tbody tr .c6 input[type="text"]').after('months over SoC')
jQuery('#'+this.questionId+' tbody tr .c6 input[type="text"]').before('+')
//Fourth Column
jQuery('#'+this.questionId+' tbody tr .c7 input[type="text"]').after('% decrease in grade 3-4 TRAE')
jQuery('#'+this.questionId+' tbody tr .c7 input[type="text"]').before('Absolute')

});

https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/29368#Comment_29368Hello SurajK,
I just applied your code (quoted here) to a side by side question in my survey that has several columns. I wanted to see if it would work on my second column only (the first has essay open-ended text fields, the second has medium open-ended text with numerical validation, and the third consists of a drop down list). Much to my delight, the "$ " and the " .00" applied only to the appropriate column (#2). However, it only applied itself to alternating rows. In my experimenting, I changed the last number in this line from 2 to 1:
for (var i = 1; i < inputs.length; i+=1) {
To my surprise, that worked, with one remaining issue. The "$ " and the " .00" are now applied to every row except the very first row. My tinkering has not solved this problem. Do you have any advice?
Thank you!
