Calculate not working because one data used for calculating irrelevant

Support
1

Hello,

I'm having a hard time with a calculate issue.

One of the data used in the calculation is relevant only if it is answered yes to the previous question. If I answer "NO", the question doesn't appear in the survey. But then the calculation always indicates "0" as a result (whereas it is an addition).

Here are the details =

The calculate is

Calculate/ H27 = ${H11} * ${H13} + ${H20} * ${H21} + ${H24} * ${H25}

H20 is relevant if H19 = yes
H24 is relevant if H23 = yes

After, I add another calculate named

Calculate/ H28 = sum(${H27})

(note that it works because the H27 row is in a repeat)

So the calculate seems to be working, only when H20 and H24 are both relevant. Otherwise, the sum(${H27}) always indicates 0.

Thanks a lot for you help! You'll find attached the doc if it can help.

Cheers,

Charles

Hi Charles,

If you can reduce this form to a few questions that show the problem,
I'm glad to take a look and see where the problem might be.
