Hello - I am trying to understand how a survey with math operations was created so that I can recreate the Dashboard (the original owner/creator is no longer w/the company and their account were removed along with the dashboard). The way that I've always used math operations is to add them to the survey flow, but this survey does not have any in the survey flow. It does have scoring but I still don't understand how the piped text knows what it represents without the survey flow having the math operation and value.
There is also a weird issue with the calendar date picker exporting the date twice.

Am I better off starting from scratch and adding the math operations as embedded data in the survey flow?
Thanks in advance!

Hi there, while Math Operations take place in the Survey Flow, Scoring takes place in the Scoring section of the Survey Options and does not need the Survey Flow. More info here on setting it up.
In looking at your survey, it looks like there is a Scoring category of "Score" and is defined below:
This makes it so that when the piping in Q6 is used - $${gr://SC_blq2VhCxaqjbMah/Score}.00 - it fills in the accumulated score for the "Score" category.
You could create this sum via Math Operations as well, but the Scoring option seems to be working okay.
For the dates, I think Q3 has some extra letters in the dateFormat piece. Q2 uses dateFormat: "m/d/Y" while Q3 uses dateFormat: "mm/dd/yyyy". Try using just dateFormat: "m/d/Y" for both questions.
