Hello, I have created a score form having check boxes. I can easily calculate total score by assigning values 1 2 3 to check boxes and by giving same names in same row to the check boxes.

But how is this possible to calculate sub total score of each column separately. See picture

These look like Radio button groups. If this is true, then a script won't be able to identify the individual column fields by name. Instead you'll the script will need to count selected values.

For example, lets say the radio button groups are named "Score1" thorough "Score10". The calculation script for the 0 column total would be this:

var nSum = 0, oFld;

for(var i=1;i<=10 ;i++)

{

oFld = this.getField("Score" + i);

if(oFld.value == 0) nSum++;

}

event.value = nSum;

Hi Tom. I am creating some self-assessments in Adobe. I used Radio Buttons for the Selections. Do you know how I would be able to summarize the score by adding all choice 1's together, sum Choice 2's together, etc......?
