Hello, I’m new to JS. I have been trying this for a long time but had no luck. Any advice would be very welcome.I have a question in a survey asking for employment income. Respondents need to select the way they want to report their salary then enter a numeric value:I wanted to calculate annual salary based on response to monthly/bi-weekly/hourly rates and show the calculated annual salary to respondents on the next page and confirm it’s the right amount. If it’s not correct, respondents will be able to go back and correct their answer. My JS on the salary question is like this:And my survey flow is like this:On the verification page, the calculated field doesn’t show up, and there is no error message either. What went wrong?Thank you!

Hi again, didn’t see at first that you needed to be able to go back and the math formula between 2 blocks will prevent that.With javascript, you’ll need the new functions and ED naming since you’re using the simple layout.Your script will look like this (in your input question).Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnPageSubmit(function () { var Monthly = this.getTextValue(2); var Biweekly = this.getTextValue(3); var Hourly = this.getTextValue(4); var HoursPerWeek = "${q://QID90/ChoiceTextEntryValue}"; var CalculatedAnnualSalary = parseInt(Monthly * 12 + Biweekly * 26 + Hourly * HoursPerWeek * 52); Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setJSEmbeddedData('CalculatedAnnualSalary', CalculatedAnnualSalary);});And your embedded data field must be named like that in the survey flow:__js_CalculatedAnnualSalaryAnd piped in like that in your validation question:${e://Field/__js_CalculatedAnnualSalary}

Oops, I forgot some quotes. I updated the code in the post above.
