Hey!I am trying to do real time calculations in a survey to display the result to the user. I want to display the result of a division calculation to a user based on information provided in a previous question. I want to divided the total area harvested by the total lint cotton to provide a value called Lint Yield. I have tried a couple JS options but haven’t managed to get it to work. (i’m a JS novice). the Lint yield would then be in the following question after a page breakAny advice would be much appreciated!

Hi @IainSAdd an embedded data named__js_division at the beginning of your survey flow.In the question where you enter the values add this custom javascript code :Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnPageSubmit(function(){var division = parseFloat(jQuery("#QR\\~" + this.questionId + "\\~1").val()) / parseFloat(jQuery("#QR\\~" + this.questionId + "\\~2").val());Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setJSEmbeddedData("division", division); });Display the value in the next question by piping in${e://Field/__js_division}Change ~1 and ~2 by your actual fields’ numbers (probably 5 and 7 in your case, if you didn’t move them around or delete some after creating them).Inspect your preview page and look for the following to find the right IDs for your question:

And use Math.round() or toFixed or something like that to display the number ofdecimals you want.
