Calculated questions allow you to calculate a figure based on responses to one or more questions.
Calculated questions include the following types:
The ‘Divide’ type adds together the answers of selected questions and divides the total by an entered factor to give you a result.
e.g. Q1 = 2, Q2 = 4, Q3 = 2, Factor = 4
Divide = Q1 + Q2 + Q3 = 8, divided by 4 = 2
