# Scoring for the Yes/No/NA (three state) field

## Overview

You can add scoring to **Yes/No/NA** (three-state) selector fields using **Calculation** fields and a little bit of **JavaScript**. Assigning different weights to Yes/No/NA responses (e.g., Yes = 2, No = 1, NA = 0) can allow you to view total scores for surveys, inspections, safety checks, and other forms.

## Example

Using the following code will add all of the **Yes** selections in the form and display it in the computed label. If the user selects **Yes, No, No,** then the computed label will display **1**. You can add whatever weight to the ***Yes*** selection that you would like. For example: If you select **Yes, Yes, No,** then the calculation (computed label) will display **4** because you've given the **Yes** a weight of **2** instead of **1**.

```plaintext
var score = 0;
if ($tri_1$ == 1) {
 score += 1;
}
if($tri_2$ == 1) {
 score += 1;
}
if ($tri_3$ == 1) {
 score += 1;
}
return score;
```

Using the following code will add all of the ***Yes*** selections in the form and display it in the computed label. If the user selects ***Yes, No, No*,** then the computed label will display **1**. You can add whatever weight to the ***Yes*** selection that you would like. For example:

```plaintext
var score = 0;
if ($tri_1$ == 1) {
 score += 2
}
if($tri_2$ == 1) {
 score += 2
}
if ($tri_3$ == 1) {
 score += 2
}
return score;
```

If you select ***Yes, Yes, No,*** then the calculation (computed label) will display **4** because you've given the *Yes* a weight of 2 instead of 1.

In the example below, we selected **all *Yes*** with a weight of 1. The total score equals **3**.
