How to link sliders for an interactive budgeting activity
Hi People,
My SME has a great idea for an interactive budgeting activity where the learner move 5 sliders, one for each budget category to see how adjusting one might affect the total much like this:
I've been able to get only a little way with the help of Copilot and some videos but they all appear to earlier versions of the trigger wizards and I am a bit stumped with how to do things like:
- Calculate the total (an area where any tutorials I have seen seem to be older versions)
- Prevent a slider from exceeding the total
Criteria:
- Each slider value should be no more than 100
- The sum of the slider values should be no more than 100
I've attached the project file for reference to my lack of skills in this area.

Have a look at the attached example and see if that gets you started. I added triggers to ensure that the remaining budget is recalculated every time a slidervariable changes. If the budget is exceeded, a warning layer is shown and then the slider that was moved last is set to the maximum allowable value. Hope that's what you wanted.

Thank you so much Michael. Exactly what I was looking for. I'm thinking your work might be a good example to post in the Examples section.
