I need to write a question for an accounting course that requires the student to create a budget report (usually done in excel) by filling in multiple boxes in a table. I wanted the question to be graded but from the research I have done on here I understand that tables are not supported by Articulate Storyline.
I wondered whether I could use the 'fill in the blank' option but unfortunately you can only do on per slide and this table would need multiple boxes filled in.
Does anyone have a suggestion for how I could create this question?
Multiple text entry controls could work. The values entered are saved away in variables, the triggers on a button could grade the values saved. Here's a sample
Hi, T R -- Thanks for reaching out with your question and I see Brian and Matthew are assisting you here! Please let us know if the ideas suggested will work for you, or if you have a file started already, perhaps you might want to upload it for more project-specific advice. You can do so by using the grey ADD ATTACHMENT button in the bottom left of the reply box.
Thanks Brian and Matthew for your help! I have been out of the office since Friday but will try this method today and let you know if I encounter any problems!
Thanks again for this solution! Would it be possible to do a small demo for me as I am quite new to articulate and (after a few attempts) I am not sure I am getting it right!
The button wouldn't be needed if one could assign the submit button to launch the triggers. Would be great if someone figured out a way to launch them without the extra button...
I feel like an idiot since I didn't come up with that solution. Any way, that means True/False and multiple choice questions can be used for filling in a table. One just needs to get all the answers correct.

Hi Matthew

Here's another way of doing that with a multiple choice question and triggers/variables.
Had to add an extra button (Lock your answers) to make the triggers work though...that's because you can't make the Submit button launch the triggers.

Seppo, that's great looking! I like the intuitive "Lock your answers" button. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Seppo - You can utilize the Submit button as well. You'd just want to change the trigger order. Your updated file attached.
Thanks!

No need for that Seppo - you did all the work ;)
Thanks for sharing!
