Maths in Qualtrics


Hello all, I am having the following problem (please bear with me as I am still relatively new to Qualtrics!): I am creating a survey, that is actually a sort of calculator. As you answer the questions it eventually draws up a kind of receipt, estimating a cost. There are two variables at play: one question is various time-slots e.g 15-30 mins , 30-45 mins, 45-60 mins which have all been attributed a score. I would like to multiply that by the answer to another question. I have attached a screenshot below of the embedded data I created. Many thanks for your help, and if you have any tips for maths in Qualtrics I would greatly appreciate them. !

You are using the wrong field for the answer to your other question. q://QID11/QuestionText is your question text. It should be q://QID11/ChoiceTextEntryValue.

Seems like you are multiplying question text with your score. You have to multiply answer text with the score. So pipe answer choice instead of the question text
