Simple Calculations

Following-up after Chris Hajer's suggestion to create a unique post. Ultimately, what I'm trying to do, and what I believe is a starting point for the solution is documented in the link/thread below that I copied and included below:

I know some time has elapsed since you last responded to this post, but I was hoping to get your thoughts on something of an extension of this example. I have a pretty basic quiz (30-questions) with each item on the quiz having a possible value between 1 and 10. What I'd like to do is to use a required numeric (number field) to capture the totals.

Currently I have the quiz paginated (10 questions per section) but it doesn't have to be that way. My goal would be to provide a section score (if I can use pagination) and an aggregate score (upon submission of the form).

The end-user could then (manually) compare against a range to see how they stack up (e.g. you scored 250, see the chart below to see what this means) or ideally I'd do that programmatically as well (you scored 250 that means you are awesome) - and it looks like your logic would get me most of the way, but with a possible scoring range between 30 and 300, it could be a pretty daunting/messy task to write the case logic, at least the way you have it in your code.

Here is the link to the work-in-progress: http://www.getmejamienotter.com/humanize/courageousness/

And here is the original link to what I think is the solution and my first post, suggesting that I post here:

Any thoughts or ideas?

Chris,

First and foremost, you rock! Thanks for taking time to help me out on this. I suspect others will ultimately benefit as well...

Let me answer the scoring question first. 4 possible cases with ranges as defined below

226 - 300 points: If you have more than about 240 points, please call us, because we want to feature you on the blog as an example of a courageous organization. Nice job.

151 - 225 points: Your organization is well on the way to being courageous! You can freely concentrate on the areas that scored lower than others.

76- 150 points: Not a bad start. Pay close attention to which of the three areas (or particular questions) scored highest and lowest. Can you do more of the bright spots? Can you scrap some things that are completely not courageous?

0 - 75 points: This score assumes that you probably have “lack of courage” issues in all three areas of culture, process, and behavior. You’ll need to pick your battles and figure out where you can concentrate your efforts at first.

Ideally I'd like to display the section score (at the bottom of each section - and possibly available as a variable for emailing and confirmation page display) and then the aggregate score at the end / via email (I hope that makes sense).

Ultimately I think everything else should be relatively straight-forward.

Look for an email with the form export attached it will be coming from desabol at gmail dot com

Thanks again,
Dave

Crazy. This is exactly what I am trying to help a friend out with. Looking forward to a solution too. :D Could we make this learning lesson for everyone?

Chris - You are the man.

I need to mod whatever code you are going to put out to spit out 3 different values for 3 different categories.

Shouldn't be too difficult.
