Number variable changes to text value

Sounds odd Marion - do you want to upload the slide or can you screenshot the variable setup and the triggers associated with the variable to try and recreate what you are doing. 

Hi, Marion - I agree with Wendy. It would be most helpful if you could show us what you are describing. Thanks! :)

Thank you for looking at this for me. Attached is an example. You can test by entering the word confine or contain in either of the boxes that have a c prefix. You will notice the Ctotal in the bottom left changes from a zero to an a.

Hi, Marion -- Thank you for providing your file, and within Preview, I was able to see the behavior you are describing. Hopefully, Wendy or another member of the community will be able to provide a little more insight, and you are also welcome to work directly with our Support Staff.

Hi Marion

not sure why it is doing what it is...but I can get the number variable to work after the user clicks the submit button - is that any help? I have attached the update sample file so you can see the triggers.  Sorry I couldn't be more help

Thank you so much for looking at this. It seems that it just doesn't like the event I used. Thanks for the solution.

Marion

Great job, Wendy, and so glad you were able to give Marion the assistance she needed. :)
