Can forms add into one another

    If I create a form and person A completes it, then person B completes it and then person C competes it, can these 3 different submissions add together?

    So if there was a question that asked, “What country were you born in?” and the 3 different submissions were:

    Person A – Canada
    Person B – USA
    Person C – Canada

    Can the results of these different forms be added together so the results say:

    2 from Canada
    1 from USA

    ???

    Hello @sparkhelp

    The process requires some of code and the shortcodes for the submissions list [CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST]

    I’ll try to describe the process with a hypothetical example.

    Assuming the form has the id=1, and field for the countries is: fieldname123, insert a “Custom HTML” block in a page of your website, and enter as its content the following piece of code:

    
<div class="output"></div>
<script>
var country_list = {}, output = '';
[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST formid="1"]
if(!('<%fieldname123_value%>' in country_list)) country_list['<%fieldname123_value%>'] = 0;
country_list['<%fieldname123_value%>']++;
[/CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS_RESULT_LIST]
for(var i in country_list) output += i+': '+country_list[i]+'<br>';
jQuery('.output').html(output);
</script>

    In the previous code you should use your own form’s id, and field’s name.

    Please, look the screenshots below:
