How to calculate the average

Support
1

Hi Feathery team,

I’m trying to calculate the average of several button group responses (1 to 5) and, based on that average, show one screen or another (e.g. a red, yellow or green feedback step).

I´ve tried everything but i can´t find where to do this.

Is there a way to calculate the average of multiple field values and use that result to decide which screen to navigate to?

Thanks a lot!

Hi, ButtonGroup field values are in a form of array, and it contents is a string, so the way you can get an average is by parsing it to int.

In the example below, the two selected values from different button groups will be added

var num = parseInt(ButtonGroup6.value[0]) + parseInt(ButtonGroup7.value[0]);

console.log(num);

After successfully setting this up, you can now create a logic to navigate to a step.

if (num == 3) {
feathery.goToStep(“Step Name”);
}

I want to navigate to different steps based on the average of 9 ButtonGroups (values from 1 to 5). After ButtonGroup9 (in step laststep1), the user should go to:

  • red1 if avg ≤ 2.4
  • yellow1 if avg < 4
  • green1 if avg ≥ 4

Each of these has its own “Next” button going to firststep2.

Here’s the logic code I’m using:

javascript

var answers = [
  parseInt(ButtonGroup1.value[0]),
  parseInt(ButtonGroup2.value[0]),
  parseInt(ButtonGroup3.value[0]),
  parseInt(ButtonGroup4.value[0]),
  parseInt(ButtonGroup5.value[0]),
  parseInt(ButtonGroup6.value[0]),
  parseInt(ButtonGroup7.value[0]),
  parseInt(ButtonGroup8.value[0]),
  parseInt(ButtonGroup9.value[0])
];
var sum = answers.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0);
var avg = sum / answers.length;

if (avg <= 2.4) {
  feathery.goToStep("red1");
} else if (avg < 4) {
  feathery.goToStep("yellow1");
} else {
  feathery.goToStep("green1");
}

The issue:
Nothing happens after selecting a value in ButtonGroup9. The rule is set to trigger “when field value changes”. But the logic doesn’t execute.

My questions:

  • Do I need to connect laststep1 to firststep2 in the flow editor?
  • Or just connect red1, yellow1, green1 to firststep2 and leave laststep1 disconnected?
  • When I connect laststep1 to firststep2, it skips the logic and ignores the colored steps.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, upon checking your code, I noticed that the step IDs in the logic are in a different language:

However, the step names in the form are in English:

I’ve updated your logic to match the exact step names, and I also removed the flow connector to prevent the logic from being overridden when navigating to a different form step.

Hi team,

I’m honestly desperate at this point.

I’ve followed your instructions carefully:

  • Updated the step names in the logic (RED1, YELLOW1, GREEN1).
  • Removed the connector from laststep1 to prevent conflicts.
  • The logic is clean and error-free.
  • The button on laststep1 has Action: None and Validate & Submit Step is checked.

Still, when I click the “Siguiente” button on laststep1, the logic doesn’t trigger and nothing happens.

I’m not sure if the problem is in the logic or in how the flow is structured — but I just need it to work.

Please, I’m giving you full permission to access my form and change whatever is necessary (logic, flow, buttons, conditions — anything) to make this work. I truly need this solved and I’m completely stuck.

Thanks in advance for your time and support. I really appreciate it.

Best,

Hi @JORGEPINEIROF ,

From what I understand, Originally you wanted the user to navigate to a specific step based on the average of the button groups values.

I have published the pending changes and everything seems to be working fine and I was redirected to “YELLOW1” after clicking the final button group.

Do you prefer to trigger the logic when the Siguiente was clicked on the laststep1?
