    Compiling a checkbox form to a spreadsheet

    Hey so I have a client that wanted me to create a form that has four options for each question for example
    1.) Morning is when I feel best
    A little of the time
    Some of the time
    Good part of the time
    Most of the time
    Each answer is supposed to have a number correlated with it i.e:
    A little of the time = 1
    Some of the time = 2
    Good part of the time = 3
    Most of the time = 4
    These numbers are supposed to be added up and calculated to have a total number. How do I make it so that each response checked is added up when the response is marked? I know the form needs to be connected to a spreadsheet, which it is, but every time I fill out the form, the responses added to the spreadsheet are the same responses that I placed in the form. I want to correspond these answers to numbers that can be added up in a spreadsheet.
    Any help on this subject would be awesome!!!

    without having looked at the sheet
    can only take assumption in what your trying to do
    i think your transferring to spreadsheet maybe the issue
    you are somehow taking the caption instead of value?

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    whereby
    checkbox1 = first answer
    A1 = destination cell
    extrapolate this for all 4

    Also assume you should only have one answer so suggest using Option button (with groupbox) instead of checkbox
    alternatively use a combo box and
    use select Case

    Select Case [form name] (whatever the form control is)
    Case " answer 1"
    Range("a1") = 1

    case "answer 2"
    Range "A1" = 2

    ...etc

    end select

    How would I go about changing the spreadsheet to make it so, when an option is checked that it is automatically changed to a value?

    Re: Compiling a checkbox form to a spreadsheet

    hmmm Google excel ....not the form i was expecting
    thought you were doing VBA

    anyway first thing to change
    question should be multiple choice not checkboxes
    checkboxes means you can select all 4 options for every question. Judging by the questions....this is not what you want

    after this you will need to code responses with either a table conversion or something of that nature to covert text response to numbers

    Alternatively
    have you looked into using scale option
    its not exactly what you were initially after but believe its a better fit to how do you feel kind of questions

    the responses that they give coincides with a number and that number is recorded onto your spreadsheet
