GravityMath does not currently support calculating Survey fields via the `[gravitymath]` shortcode.

If your Survey fields have Scoring enabled, then it's possible to calculate totals on a View using [field calculations](https://www.gravitykit.com/docs/gravitymath/how-to-add-field-calculations-to-the-table-footer/) from the GravityMath extension.

*To enable footer calculations for survey fields, you must access the field settings panel inside the View editor and select the type of calculation you want to achieve:*![Click the gear icon next to "The Sky is Blue" to access field settings](https://www.gravitykit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/file-UNTElmV2pL.png)
You can select the following calculation types: Lowest, Highest, Average, Count (all), or Custom, which allows you to write your own `[gravitymath]` shortcode inside![Checkbox toggles field calculations in table footer with label and source options](https://www.gravitykit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/file-VWMTg6Z2CO.png)
*And here's how it looks on the View:*![Survey table with scores for questions "The Sky is Blue" and "The Sun is a star" with average scores displayed](https://www.gravitykit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/file-0VkOw8ewtb.png)
