I've got a calculator that uses triggers based on variables to calculate a grade level. I'd like to simplify data entry for my user. I'm thinking I'd like to use a drop-down list for the text entry, or limit the format the text entry field will accept. Currently the user has to enter #-#, but I suspect I'll get different formats.
Alternatively, I suppose I could write additional conditions using an OR operator, but I had trouble making that work.
Anybody have any thoughts on how to make it easier?
Thank you, Jerry! Your solution definitely works. I've considered using layers, but we've had lots of trouble with 508 and layers, so I was trying to avoid them. Hadn't really fully figured out how to keep the one that I have for the table.
If layers kill your 508 compliance, then you may have to consider all this functionality built into standalone slides with one factor per slide and the clickable choices already on screen for each.

I would use layers to fake a drop down. I've set it up for all 9 of your boxes.

Factor 1 - Click on the Factor1 score (one slide)
Factor 2 - Click on the Factor2 score (one slide)
etc...
