Create a calculated field from sum of radio buttons

[antimoneylaundering]

I need to create a calculated field from radio buttons. I have been searching and have not found anything that addresses my particular situation. I need a calculated field that works like this:

207 - (value of all 'no's)/ 207 * 100.

The value of all 'no's will be a sum of all of the 'no's selected. Some 'no's are 6 points deductions, while others are 3 point deductions, etc.



I created radio buttons for each question (48 total) with the option values of 'no' are set as the points (e.g. 6, 3, etc), which I've read to do. I have googled calculations from radio buttons and nothing looks quite like this. How should I proceed?

Thank you!

The radio buttons should have been bound to a field. (*yes, 0 no) = true in tTable.Q1
This way you need only run a query to sum the values.

As ranman says, save value to record.

What is table structure?

I have attached a small mock up of what I currently have. I may have totally botched this.

Thanks for the responses.

So the mockup table has 8 Completed fields. Do you want to count the False responses for each record?

IIf([Task A Completed]=6,1,0) + IIf([Task B Completed]=3,1,0) + IIf([Task C Completed]=2,1,0) + IIf([Task D Completed]=6,1,0) + IIf([Task E Completed]=6,1,0) + IIf([Task F Completed]=6,1,0) + IIf([Task G Completed]=6,1,0) + IIf([Task J Completed]=6,1,0)

Adding the values would be similar conditional expression. Replace the 1 with appropriate value.

Now imagine doing that for 48 fields. Not only will that be tedious, the expression will likely exceed length limit.

If you saved 0 for Yes and Null for N/A then addition calc could be:

Nz([Task A Completed],0) + Nz([Task B Completed],0) + Nz([Task C Completed],0) + Nz([Task D Completed],0) + Nz([Task E Completed],0) + Nz([Task F Completed],0) + Nz([Task G Completed],0) + Nz([Task J Completed],0)

However, same issues - tedious and too long.

I do want to count responses for each record. I've come to terms with this being tedious, but if this is going to be too long how would you recommend I go about this? Is there any way to salvage what is built?

Are you trying to build a questionnaire/survey database? This has been discussed in other threads. Search forum.

Would require VBA code to do the counts and addition.

Probably should scrap what you have and start over.
