Mapping constant sum from a matrix table
+54I have several questions in a survey that are in a matrix table where respondents enter whole numbers and they are added along each row to reflect a constant sum. This works fine if I'm exporting the raw data, but I cannot find a way to map this into Vocalize. Has anyone run up against this issue before? Have you found a way to make it work? Thanks in advance!

Hmm, what about setting up embedded data fields for each entry box then, and using those as your data for mapping
+3You can, with Javascript, set the sums to an Embedded Data field that can be represented in your reporting services! Are you familiar with the Javascript API? If not, I could walk you through it!

If you are going this route, you could just as easily write the sums with piped text math.

It's not the sums I am interested in mapping as much as the numbers entered that add to the sums. No matter which data type I select in Vocalize, the questions/answers do not show up as being available for mapping.

Hi @Virginia,
I just want to say that I feel your pain. I just spent the last 2.5 days working on creating a data intake form with numerous math operations and javascript code in order to get it to function the way I want... only to try find out that the data entered is marked as "text" and can't be changed. I now have to either map each data value to an ED field in the survey flow, or rebuild my intake form from scratch.
grrrrrrr.
