Hi all. I have a group of fields, all Select1 types in a table-list, that
represent whether an answer is correct or incorrect. I am using XLSForm
and have coded the values (names) of the responses as 1/0 in the choices
worksheet. At the bottom of the group, I would like a running tally of the
total correct. In other words, every time a user selects 'Correct', I would
like the total at the bottom to update with the current total. I'm having
trouble getting it to work (I always get a NaN value for the total), and I
can't figure out which piece is causing the problem:
My total field is incorrectly specified. I'm using calculate =
"sum(${my_group})". I've also tried calculate = "${my_field1}+${my_field2}"
in case I didn't understand the sum syntax, but it doesn't work either.
Select1 types are stored as strings so it can't calculate a total.
Do I need to convert to integer in the constraint field for each of the
fields? I tried to enter the constraint for my_fieldX to ". <
int(${my_fieldX})", but then I get a "value not allowed" error, even though
I've coded the names as 0/1.
You can't calculate a total within a group. I read another post where
it said you can't calculate a sum for repeating fields, but I don't know if
that same limitation applies to groups. Plus, I don't think this is the
primary problem b/c I've tested it outside the group, and it still doesn't
work.
This will not work in the current ODK Collect. All evaluations are
performed when the screen is first displayed and not updated
dynamically - due to JavaRosa limitations. This will work in ODK
Survey which is based on HTML5 and is currently in alpha. Beta
release expected around mid-April.

That's too bad...guess I'll just wait for Survey for that type of
functionality. Any suggestions for why the sum field outside of the group
isn't working?
Thanks,

select1 fields are configured as string-valued fields.
So to sum up the value of several of these, you need to convert the string
to a number:
calculate="number(/data/q1)+number(/data/q2)"

Thanks, Mitch. That didn't work on Enketo so I had to switch to
number(${q1}), which did, so I get the idea.
