Drop Down List assigning a score

Clayton DSouza

I am trying to figure out the correct formula to execute an output

I have created a Drop-Down list that the end user can select one or more options.

Each question has an associated score with it (1 or 2). I want the output to generate the overall score and a background color in a separate column. I have it created in excel and want to replicate it to Smartsheet.

Hi @Clayton DSouza

I hope you're well and safe!

Can you elaborate? What are the questions, and what are the multiple options?

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Best,

Good morning @Andrée Starå

the questions in column have the following multiple options, the user is allowed to select more than one of the drop-down options. The first three options carry a score of 2 and the other four carry a score of 1, which if the user selects all 7 options would result in 10 in column 2 and turn the background red, which would indicate to me that this request needs to be rushed. I was hoping there would be a formula or methodology I could use to generate the "Overall Score" in column 2, of the options from column 1 "Determine the level of change."

I highly appreciate your input. Thank you very much!
