Summing total of 100% in a text entry Side by Side Question | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hi everyone,
Is it possible to get/limit the value to 100% in text entries in Side by Side Question?
See attached picture. On the last column. I want to get and limit the sum of percentages of 4 text entries to 100% on this type of question.

You can do the total via the below JS (Refer this source)
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{
/Place your JavaScript here to run when the page loads/
jQuery('.SBS2 input:last').prop('disabled',true);
});


Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function()
{
/Place your JavaScript here to run when the page is fully displayed/
var $jq = jQuery.noConflict();// always keep this


$jq('input[type="text"]').after('%'); //insert % sign after boxes


$jq('.SBS1 select:last').hide(); // remove last select for Column 1
$jq('.SBS3 select:last').hide(); // remove last select for Column 3
$jq('.SBS4 select:last').hide(); // remove last select for Column 4


var $sum = 0; // define sum variable
$jq('.SBS2 input:last').val($sum); // setting the value of total box


//function for changing text value to numeric


function getVal(val){ var num = parseInt(val); if(isNaN(num)) { num = 0; } return num; };


// calculating some on change
$jq('.SBS2 input').not(':last').change(function(){
// for every box
var $sum = 0; // define sum variable
$jq('.SBS2 input').not(':last').each(function(){
$sum += +getVal($jq(this).val());
});
$jq('.SBS2 input:last').val($sum);
});


});
And add a custom validation for that text value to be 100 and show an error based on it.

Hope it helps!
