    Hi, I am having issues just getting a total at the bottom using the Form Calculation Widget for the form below:

    https://form.jotform.com/80276047626156

    I've assigned values of 0, 1, and 2 to each of the available choices and I just want it added up at the end for my view only. Each time I preview and fill the form out for submission, the results I get are all over the place and don't make any sense. Can you get into the form and tell me what am I doing wrong?

    I have checked your form calculation and it seems a little off. Can you please input again the calculation in your Form calculation widget?

    Then update your widget afterwards.

    Please give it a try and let us know if the issue still remains.

    Thank you.

    …But this is exactly what I’m emailing about. Check what exactly? I have 15 questions with 3 answers each that have assigned values of 0, 1, and 2. All I want is for the 15 responses to be added up at the end for my reference.

    To add up the assigned values of selections, insert each field into your calculation.  Select your calculation field, then click on the wand icon to open the calculation menu:

    From there, click "ADD FIELD", then select the field you want to add to the equation.  Insert each field to the equation you want to add up the values for, with a + sign in between.
