I would like to use survey responses from a table of household members to calculate the total number of adults, kids and seniors. I have written javascript code to make the calculations and added this to a second block of the survey. I can read in the values entered but cannot get the calculations to show up. This is how it works. First the respondent enters in the names, ages and gender of the respondents (morador is household member) ! The next question (in a new block) includes the javascript and pipes in the embedded text and answers to individual survey questions. ! The indivudal age values show up, suggesting that the data are being read, but the javascipt calculations do not. This is what I see (notice the ages are listed, but the calcualtions are blank): ! This is my javascript (I tried it in the Onload and OnReady sections – neither works) Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { // These lines read in the entered data on age let age1= "${q://QID8%232/ChoiceTextEntryValue/1/1}"; let age2= "${q://QID8%232/ChoiceTextEntryValue/2/1"; let age3= "${q://QID8%232/ChoiceTextEntryValue/3/1}"; // create age variables let adults = 0; let kids = 0; let seniors = 0; if (age1 > 17 && age1 < 64) { adults++;} else if (age1 <= 17) { kids++;} else {seniors++;} if (age2 > 17 && age2 < 64) { adults++;} else if (age2 <= 17) { kids++;} else {seniors++;} if (age3> 17 && age3< 64) { adults++;} else if (age3 <= 17) { kids++;} else {seniors++;} let family=adults+kids+seniors Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("adults",adults); Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("kids",kids); Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("seniors",seniors); Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("family", family); }); And, to confirm, the embedded text is in the survey flow: ! Any suggestions on what is wrong here? I tried entering in the ages as text (to add to a box as noted above) and from a drop down menu. Neither works. Thanks for any suggestions!

Also, the family statement should be terminated with a semicolon.

The block where you declare the embedded variables (in survey flow) should be before the block where you use the embedded. I usually make it the first block in the flow, that way the embedded variables are always there when needed. Click the word "move" and drag the block upwards.Your debug output showing the values of age1, age2, age3 indicates that the values from the question are being read as you surmised. The blank output for the alert indicates that the values are not being calculated. Try doing an alert with the age variables.Also, try replacing the let declaration with a var declaration. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/762011/whats-the-difference-between-using-let-and-var for an example. Then try putting alerts in as before.Try moving Q2 to a new block or inserting a page break before it. My current survey also has a summary block, but it does a summary over 5 blocks, where some blocks are not available to the end user. The summary block is on its own and works fine.
