Adjusting Quiz Scores (Rounding)
Is it possible to adjust a quiz score by rounding it? I'm getting values like "42.55" and I'd like to round it up or down.

In the past I have used a simple JavaScript with the round() method to do just that; some info onit here: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_round.asp. And here is a thread with some info on a non-JavaScript option to round numbers: http://community.articulate.com/forums/p/31583/170723.aspx
Thanks Michael for sharing those here, and Jason, it's a common feature request if you'd like to submit one as well.

It is 2021. Surely Articulate should have come up with a simple solution by new. This topic has been ongoing for years. So frustrating to be referred to complex calculations and Java Script.

I completely agree with you. There is a lot of complicated workaround that we have to do because Articulate doesn't listen to its users. I see the score rounding request since Storyline version 1 and still no changes. These are essential functionality for our customers and not frivolous requests. The articulate 360 license is expensive enough to be able to request product improvements and not unnecessary updates like changing a button in the interface.

Hi, just wondering did this feature ever appear in SL? if so where ;)
Cheers!
Hi Stuart,
Storyline 2 does not include a rounding results score element. As this thread previously mentioned, a few folks have done so using javascript so you may want to investigate those options.

Hello,
I am actually running into this issue now. Most of the forum posts and solutions seem to be 3+ years old. Is there an update on this feature request? Am I missing something in Storyline 360?
Hi Heather,
We haven't changed how this is handled in Storyline 360 yet, so I don't have any updates to share. I know some folks in the E-Learning Heroes community looked at rounding the variables using Javascript. If that's something you're interested in, let us know and then folks in the community can share their tips and expertise.

Is this option available now? It would be nice to have this feature as many of us do not know Javascript.
Hi Maddie!
Great question. Rounding quiz scores isn't a feature in Storyline 360, but you can use triggers to adjust the Results slide variable to round the score. Here's a community post with an option that doesn't include Javascript.

I agree. Requested for over 7 years now and acknowledged in the second response that it's "it's a common feature request".

Crazy that this request is old enough that the non-JS workarounds don't even work anymore because those were leveraging a programming defect in Flash. Why hasn't this been implemented yet?
- ReubenHarper-49Community Member
Yes, I noted that a popular multiple-trigger workaround to show rounded score % doesn't work any more also. Javascript doesn't preview within Storyline, which makes that workaround slower to test. The 10 year anniversary of this thread for a common feature request is nearing; a 'multiple decimal point' 10 year countdown timer for the fix could be getting closer to around 9.76% by now...
