Simple Survey123 Addition Calculation Not Working

Question

Hi,

I have a simple survey123 calculation that is acting weird. I have three calculations that are working properly, and then the fourth, I am trying to add together the previous three calculations.

When I do that, my code is:

${Erosion_Score} + ${SoilKFactor_Score} + ${Road_App_Material_Score}

When I collect data, the calculation is resulting in the concatonation of the three, rather than the sum.

Example: eriosion score = 3, soilK = 2, Road_app = 3

calculation = 323 rather than 8.

Any help would be appreciated!!

Nevermind, I found the answer, in case anyone needs to know, calculations must be changed to a number rather than the default of text if they are to be used in another equation:  https://community.esri.com/thread/198640-problem-with-calculation-when-field-is-set-to-hidden-or-calculate
