Thank you James, but we aren't hearing each other, for whatever reason. Nothing you've said addresses the actual question I have, even after clarifying and restating it again. You aren't getting what I'm saying and I'm not getting anything from your responses that actually address my question. No fault given, I just think we're on different wavelengths. I don't comprehend an "outline" of anything, but a vague restatement of my original discovery of the limitations of the mask and nothing hinting to whether there is any other way to accomplish what I am trying to do, and all I know to do is ask the original question in a different way. So forgive me for my frustration, but we are not communicating in a productive way, at all.
I fully vetted what you have offered in your replies before submitting the original post and I thought it was clear that I was asking for a solution for the outcome I desired, any solution, or conformation that this is currently not possible.
I guess, instead of the following, from the original post...
So how do I put this into Survey123 for these results on these inputs?
input 1 = 0+01
input 11 = 0+11
input 123 = 1+23
input 1234 = 12+34
input 12345 = 123+45
input 123456 = 1234+56
input 1234567 = 12345+67
I should have asked "Is there any way to format an integer question so that regardless of the number of characters typed in, the result. is a two-place decimal with the decimal point replaced with a + sign?". Actually that one sentence should have been the entire post. hehe
