Form set up

I’m not sure I understand your question, but are you trying to display mathematical calculations or formulas on the form itself?

That is not possible with Airtable’s forms. You can only do that within Airtable after the form has been submitted.

However, if you want to display mathematical calculations on your form itself, you can do that with Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable.

Fillout is 100% free, and offers hundreds of features that Airtable’s native forms don’t offer, including the ability to update Airtable records using a form, display Airtable lookup fields & Airtable rollup fields & Airtable attachments & formulas on forms, perform math or other live calculations on your forms, accept payments on forms, collect signatures on a form, create multi-page forms with conditional paths, create new linked records on a form, and much more.

I show how to use a few of the advanced features of Fillout on these 2 Airtable podcast episodes:

• Using Fillout to create an eSignature approval process with PDF file creation.
• Using Fillout to create an order entry form with line items.

Hope this helps!

If you’d like to hire the best Airtable consultant to help you with this or anything Airtable-related, please feel free to contact me through my website: Airtable consultant — ScottWorld

So I just want my clients to answer the form questions best related to their organization. and within our dashboard in air table it will score their related responses. I just need help to set up the form and dashboard so it can do just that score the responses but only we would see the score internally 

Hey ​@Cj_Coleman does the end user (client filling out the form) need to see the score as well, or is score something that only your team internally needs to see?

If the former, then you’ll need to go with Fillout as suggested by Scott (or set an automation where they would get the score via email). If the latter, the Airtable should work.

Yes, as ​@Mike_AutomaticN said above, you can do all of this natively within Airtable. If you need to hire a consultant to help you with this, feel free to contact me through my website: ScottWorld — Best Airtable Consultant

Hey ​@Mike_AutomaticN So the client does not need to see the score just my team so we can determine what stage we need to start them at. here is a doc for you to further understand our objective

Hmm could you provide some examples of the questions, their answers, and the scores?  

Here’s something I threw together on the off chance it’s helpful

Formula for ‘Question 1 Score’ 

IF(
  FIND(
    'Answer 1', {Question 1}
  ),
  5
) +
IF(
  FIND(
    'Answer 2', {Question 1}
  ),
  3
) +

IF(
  FIND(
    'Answer 3', {Question 1}
  ),
  1
)

Formula for ‘Question 2 Score’ 

SWITCH(
  {Question 2},
  'Answer 4', 1,
  'Answer 5', 2,
  'Answer 6', 3
)

I do free half hour calls and you can grab a time here too, think it might be faster!
