Help with getting a sum of variables
Apr 25, 2014

Hello,
I am using Storyline and I am trying to get sets of variables to add up for me to get a total. Is this possible?Basically I need each of the scales to add up and give me a total based on the variables within that scale. For example C Scale needs to give me the total of variables 1, 6, 11, 12, 17, 18, 23, 24, 29, and 32. I would need the same for each of the scales. Then I would like to be able to display those totals in the section labeled "Totals" toward the right side of this image. I would like to be able to add all of the totals of the scales to give me one final total. Is this possible?
Thank you,
Brandon

Brandon,
I think I might have a solution for you. I'm not really sure the format for which these scales are used. Do the variables represent answers to questions? You could set up a trigger with "C scale = 173" when user clicks, or you if each variable is represented individually, you could also set up a trigger that adds "x" to variable "C scale" when "user clicks, timeline ends, etc."
Does that help? Let me know if there is anything else I can help with. Feel free to email me (patrick@4runnerdev.com) if you need.
Good luck!

Brandon, see attached file. I set up the triggers for two of the scale categories and the triggers to sum up the total. Hopefully, you can expand the file to include the other categories.
Patrick and Michael,
Thank you so much for your replies! They worked. I was able to get my presentation to do what I needed.
Thanks again,
Brandon
