(0) ShareShare

Posted on by libretech
Hi Guys,
I have a SharePoint list and one of the columns have the multiple-choice option, I want to give each choice a value of 1 and when several choices are selected, I want them to be added and provide a total sum. Can this be done with formulas in list or would I need to use Power automate?

    Hi @libretech ,

     

    You can use length().

     

    1. Sample multi choice column called 'Choice'

    2. In your flow, use the length() expression against the column to get the number of items inside.  As you want to score each item as 1, this should be sufficient for your needs. 

     

    length(items('Apply_to_each')?['Choice'])

    I selected two items so a score of 2.
