1. Add a Ranking question to your questionnaire

In the Questions tab, select Ranking from the list of question types and Click Add.

2. Edit the question

Now that you have added a ranking question to your questionnaire, you can edit it to change the general settings, edit the question and add the ranking answer options. 

Next, toggle the Add a score to each ranking position to give a score to each ranking position. This score will be later added to your formulas. The positions correspond to the order that the respondent selects his answers when he completes the survey.

3. Create your formulas

Make sure your questionnaire is completed then head straight to the Extra Options tab and select Formulas in the Custom Scoring section. Click Create formula and add your formulas. 

Once you set up your formulas, you'll be able to tie them to your answers. Go back to the Questions tab and tie your formulas to your answer options. Simply, toggle the button to each answer.

4. Build the final screen

Edit the text on your final screen and finalize your questionnaire. You can list the results by using the formulas.

Here's an example of the questionnaire we've created for you to test.

What's next?

• Use question types that support custom scoring to give a score to each answer, so that an overall score will be calculated at the end of the survey. Not all question types support this feature by default, however you can use formulas to add custom score to your forms, open ended and ranking inquiries.
• Add to formula with question logic: Set up your questionnaire with Formulas and Question logic to add a value to a formula when a certain condition is met. This can be done on a specific answer to a question, on a custom score on a question block, or even an intro field.
• Formulas "using all responses" and Formula Filters: This feature allows you to calculate formulas including all survey responses and make calculations taking into account all responses collected and not just a single respondent's information. Enable this feature so that you can calculate averages, count responses, and more.
