Column calculations and formula

Hi,
 I am hoping that someone can help me with coding for the following.
 

I am waiting to be able to do the following.

within section A there are columns (I am going to say column a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h)
I need it to be that if columns a-h are 0 then the total is 0
and 
If the columns have a value in them, then we need to add the columns up, x2 add 4.

I hope that it makes sense.

Hi janine!
Sorry for the delay, I missed your post
If you explain with a bit more detail what to do with those values once they appear
I'll prepare the formula

Hi Bert

So basically this is what I want.  There are 8 sub columns within the A folder, Lets name them 1,2,3,4,5,6.
 - if all the values in each column are 0 then the total needs to be zero. (must not take into account the next formula)
- however if there is a value in each column (the value can only be 1) then we would need to add all the columns up to get a total. 
- this total would then need to be multipled by 2 and add 4 - this will give me a total out of 20


I hope this makes sense,

Janine

Hello,

I believe this formula should work for what you want to do. I attach a screenshot of the formula and one of the result in the gradebook.

In your A folder change the calculation to formula and enter your grade over 20 or a total points of 20.

In the formula just replace the HÜ columns (my columns) for your 8 columns and recreate the rest.

Let me know how it does.

 
 




 

That you so much, that does exactly what I want.
