Combining Sums from Two Continuous Sum Questions

Ever needed to add the totals from one or more Continuous Sum question on the same page?*

This script is increadibly easy to add to your survey. The output is displayed to the respondent in a Text / Instructions field.

Check it out in an example survey!

Put the script to work!

1.  Add Two or more Continuous Sum Questions to your survey. These questions need to be on the same survey page.

2. Click Add New Action, select JavaScript. Copy and paste the code below into the action:

$(document).ready(function(){
  $("input").blur(function(){
    
    var total = 0;
    $(".sg-counter-sum").each(function(){
      var sum = $(this).text();
      sum = parseInt(sum);
      total += sum;
      $(".contSums").text(total);
    });
    
  });
});

3. Save save the JavaScript Action.

4. Add a Text/Instructions element. The text in your survey can be as long or short as needed. 

5. Expand the HTML editor for the Text/Instructions and select "Source". You will need to add a span tag with the class "contSums" around the value that you wish the script above to target, like this:

Your total of all sums is: <span class="contSums">0</span>

6. Now save and test the script.

*This script does not record the summed value for reference later.
