Computed variables

Calculate variables are used for calculating indexes or variables based on a respondents answer to multiple questions.

The variables are set for each survey, and can be reused in all reports using this survey.

You find the computed variables by navigating to the respective survey and click the "Computed variables" button in bottom left corner

There are currently two types of computed variables that can be used.

1. Average: Creates an average of all questions for all respondents in report scope
2. Sum: Creates a sum of all questions for all respondents in report scope
   

How it works

Behind the scenes, the calculated variables are created per respondent. So where there is a variables consisting of 4 questions, the score will first be calculated for respondent. Further, if there is a chart showing the value for a project and/or organization node, it will make an average of the average.

The variables will only be calculated for a respondent if all questions have an answer. If not all answers are available, no score will be created for a given respondent
