    Hello,

    I am trying to find the average answer of all of the questions in my form. I have added the Form Calculation widget with the average function but it is only giving me the added total. I have tried both the + and , between each question in the function but that did not work either.

    Here is the link to my form

    https://form.jotform.com/252365493936064

    And the link to be a collaborator

    Thank you,

    Renee

    1. In Form Builder, click on the Add Element from the upper-left corner.
