I have multiple fields with a number of tally's for each field. How can I summarize the tally's in those fields as a number?

Hi,

You can assign calculation values to your options:

Then sum them up in a calculation widget:

This should allow for what you are looking for.

If it does not, le tus know which form you are working on, as well as specifically how you are tallying your results, and we will be happy to help you get things setup properly.
