    I want to count the frequency of options (option A,B,C) selected from each question (whether mostly As, or mostly Bs) and present the result into the Thank You page. Can the widget do that?

    Hi NJHC PCK Trinity,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Unfortunately, the Form Calculation widget can't count how many times a certain option is selected. With Jotform Report Builder, you can easily generate visual reports that are based on your submission data. Let me show you how:

    1. On your My Forms page, select the form that you want to create a report for.

    2. Click on Reports at the top of the page, and then click on Add New Report.

    3. Now, select Visual Report Builder, which will open Report Builder.

    4. Enter a Report name and choose a Report Type.

    5. Then, click on Create and that’s it. You’re done.

We also have a guide about How to Create a Visual Report with Your Form Submissions that you can check out.

    Give it a try and let us know if you need any help.
