Checkbox with value and addup

Question

Hello! I'm working on a form in Acrobat and I'm stuck.
Here's the situation:

Multiple questions with 3 checkboxes. Each row can select 1 checkbox.

Each checkbox has a value, as shown above.

I want to add up all the values of the selected checkboxes.
For instance, if you were te select the first question checkbox with 1 and the second question checkbox with 2, somewhere in the document the numer 3 (adding up 1 and 2).
This document has about 40 questions.

I really hope this is possible in Acrobat 🙂

It's the same for radio buttons, except radio buttons have choices instead of export value, but it works the same, set choices to be 0,1,2.

To make checkboxes work as group, give all 3 checkboxes same name and give them different export value (0,1,2).

If you already give checkboxes export values of 0,1,2 then in field where you want to calculate total, go to properties → 'calculate' tab and select 'Value is the', leave as (Sum+) and click on 'pick' and select your checkboxes.
