I have a slider question where I need the numbers from statements 1, 2, and 3 to total 100.
IE respondent A count answer 1=50, 2=50, 3=0. respondent B could be 1=20, 2=40, 3=40, etc...I see that I can set min and max per statement, but I need the max to bee for ALL of the statement scores combined.

Also how would I do this same thing where they must total 100 on a form field?

Figured it out! Change question type to Constant sum, answer type to sliders, add validation of must total to 100. It will not let the participant select more than 100. It also gives the option to drag and drop the sliders or type in the boxes their numbers

@kgillis,

You can use a constant sum slider question for the slider:

For the Form question you can use Custom Validation. The first first must be equal to 100 - the other two fields. The right side of the custom validation rule would be something like:

$e{ 100 - q://QIDxx/ChoiceTextEntryValue/2 - q://QIDxx/ChoiceTextEntryValue/2 }
