Trouble in Numeric Entry Variables and Sum
Trying to recreate a simulation of an excel calculator. I need multiple fields to add up to a sum and be able to be revised.
I figured out how to make it happen but now something weird is happeni...
So far, I've solved this by changing the trigger to be "when X variable changes." That did the trick after I created a new slide. It still duplicated the first value even after the change. I figure it must be a very persistent artifact.
I also had to have a conditional stating that it would only add a value if it was greater than 0. This got around Storyline having 0 operate as a string instead of a number and the sum returning NaN.
Still open to hearing more elegant ways to create a sum calculation without a button to trigger the calculation.
