Calculate if true

Support
1

Hi All

I am wandering if this is at all possible. Been searching but unable to
find anything relevant.

I want to do a calculation if the previous relevance is true.

I have a note "bp1_b" which is relevant if answer to previous question
"bp1" is above 140 and is expresses and working as ${bp1} > 140

I would like to flag this result by using a calculation so it is silently
written to the submitted data if the note "bp1_b" is true

confusing myself now...

I believe calculations like these are best done post-processing unless it
is relevant to the rest of the questionnaire. Anyway, you can use a *
calculate* type field, say bp1b and assign the calculation like if(bp1 >
140, 1, 0) or if(bp1 > 140, 'True', 'False').

This calculate field is hidden from the user.

Hi

I have tried the following calculation but the result always returns false.
Any tips here:

if(bp1 > 140, 'True', 'False')

Bashir,

If you're using XLSForm, your variable references need to be of the form
${bp1}. That may be your problem with the "if" expression.

Best,

Chris
