HELP!! Using variables where the value starts with a zero
I am creating a multi-field fill in the blank question using varables. The trigger is, If Filers TIN = value 00-0132501. But when I try to enter that, it drops the leading zeroes. Is there a way ...
Hi Wendy,
If you are using a number variable, but you are entering numbers that do not need to be entered into calculations, such as a Taxpayer Identity Number, why not try using a text variable instead?
This way, the state of the button can be changed when the user enters the exact text information, such as "00-0132501". If you use a graded question slide with a fill-in-the-blank question and assign it to a text variable, it can also grade whether or not the entry was correct.
See the attached project file for an example.
It is multiple fields that need to be completed and evaluated. For the answer to be graded as correct all fields must be entered correctly on the form not just that one. By using the variables as shown, when the answer is all correct it triggers a correct answer that is actually graded so that part I have solved. :) I guess I can change it to a text field for some reason that option just didn't cross my mind.
Thanks!
