Sum Repeating Field

Support
1

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to sum a field that is in a
repeating group of questions? For example if my group of questions is
asking for an individual's name and the litres of water they are
carrying, I want to ensure the sum of the water everyone is carrying
is greater then # of people x 2.5 litres.

Thanks.

Dana,

You can't reference values in repeat instances. If you move the
questions outside the repeat, then you can use the calculate function
as described at
