Can I use a calculation on a matrix?

I want to put a menopause self assessment on my web site. I created a form using JotForm that contains a matrix with radio buttons. My columns (options) are:

- Absent

- Mild

- Moderate

- Severe 

I would like to be able to assign each option a value (0 - 3) and calculate the total (this would give an indication of severity of symptoms). 

Is this possible to do with JotForm?

Thank you,

Stephanie

Hi Stephanie,

Unfortunately you cannot use the Matrix table field for calculations because it lacks the Calculation Values property that other fields have that is needed for calculation.

What you can try using instead is he regular Radio buttons(found in Form Tools) as it has the Calculation Values property.

Here is a test form http://www.jotform.me/form/42336401771449  you can try.

In the test form I have setup the Calculation Widget with calculation formula like this.

So every time an option is selected on each of the Radio items, the grand Total is calculated
