Hi @Miff 

 

1. Can you provide some more detailed information with screenshots of your Form/Questions?

2. How do you score each Question? What form controls are you using?

Hi @Miff 

 

Seems straight forward enough.

Can you confirm that all the column (and form controls) are integer or decimal and NOT text types?

You need to convert-to-Number any Text fields.

 

Sample form with 3 text fields

Sum variable. Since the text field is Text-type, we need to use the convertToNumber function

Sample outcome

Hi @Miff 

 

Another alternative is just to use SharePoint calculated column

This is probably more easier for your case as all the values are already in the other columns

Google - SharePoint calculated column

 

Create a new Column. Type is Calculated. Define the formula
