SURVEY123 Web Link

Question

Hello,

I want to know if formulas will work when using the web link version of a published survey? On the app calculations happen just fine but when my users utilize the URL to enter surveys all I get back is " NaN"

Any help with this would be appreciated.

Best,

Gina

Hi Gina,

It looks like you are trying to 'add' together pieces of text, correct?  In that case, you need to use the concat() [concatentate] function:

concat(${ClientName}, ${ClientMiddleInitial}, ${ClientLastName}, ${DateofBirth})

I am trying to create an IDnumber out of the Name, Middle Initial, Last Name and Date of Birth

${ClientName}+${ClientMiddleInitial}+${ClientLastName}+${DateofBirth}

How would it work for the web link?

I appreciate the help!

Hi Gina,

Can you provide details of the exact calculation you are trying to accomplish?  The web app has a slightly different calculation procedure than the field app; for example, the type of value (whether string, integer, decimal, etc.) is more important in the web app, which leads to added conversion functions.
