Scoring weighting WITHIN a survey flow

Hi ​@kgillis ,

Wouldn’t using embedded data in survey flow to be a weightage multiply by the respective category scoring fulfill your requirement?

Unless I misread or the weighting is done through other formula.

For example, block 1 is 20%, block 2 is 50% and block 3 is 30%.

Then, set up 3 scoring categories based on the blocks in scoring section.

Then, set up an embedded data Weighted score=0.2* SC1 + 0.5*SC2 + 0.3*SC3.

hypothetically if I wanted to pull only the score for block 1 is there an “easy” way to do it or do I have to pull through every question (I have a block where participants only see 1 matrix questions but there are over 90 matrix questions with over 1500 statements within that block) - I would love to pull their score from the block without having to branch/condition for each of those questions.

It will still be rather tedious due to the large number of questions and statements.

You will need to set up the scoring for each question in the scoring section.

but if the scoring category is done correctly (only questions under block 1 are scored as a category named block 1, questions under another block are scored as another category name), you can just make use of the piped text of the scoring category 1 within your survey.

Additionally, matrix question scoring has an easier way for setting up by toggling on the statement or scale or selecting the dropdown instead of individual cells.

Illustration below:

If you need to include the weighting to the block before the result, add an embedded data to do any required math operations.

So I have it set up that way, but it isn’t work...

It’s pulling in the scores, which is good.

But the weighted scores (embedded data) are all null and I can’t figure out why - interestingly enough the “PQI score” is showing as “+++” rather than null. All the typical stuff is checked, I’ve tried on preview links as well as published and tried on a true link, no difference. I’ve made sure the end of survey comes after the embedded data too.

Here is what finally worked - if I tried calculating on the score directly it gave errors… so I had to set the score as embedded data, then score off that embedded data field in a following embedded data element

 

​@Chee Heng_SZ one more question for you - how would I make it to round to the tenth or hundredths place rather than including a whole bunch of decimal places?

There is a section about rounding in the math operation supporting documentation.

"$e{ round( 10 / 3 , 2 ) } rounds 10/3 with 2 decimal places and resolves to 3.33."

I figured it out - seems that within embedded data you can only do a single math operation at a time. I had place yet another embedded data element and then pull the field then equate the rounding… kinda crazy! Thank you so much for all of your help ​@Chee Heng_SZ
