I am trying to create an interactive exercise in PowerPoint. I would
like learners to be able to make a selection to multiple choice
questions and have those selections tallied on a slide toward the end.
Then based on their totals, I would like to show where their totals
summarized would show on a chart or table.

Background - they are making selections to questions regarding
investment choices. Their final answers will indicate where in an
investment strategy table their investemtn stlye might fit i.e.
conservative, moderate, or aggressive.

Ideas are welcome! I am hoping this is not going to be some
complicated VBA exercise as I don't know or understand VBA. Thanks!

mmm I think it is! AFAIK there's no way of tranferring answers to another
slide unless you use vba.

I don't see any way to do this other than VBA. Unless maybe you're a C++
programmer <g>.

As Steve and John have said, you need VBA to do this, but there is a
small chance that it won't be a "complicated" VBA exercise. It might be a
somewhat simple VBA exercise. Check out Examples 8-8 and 8-11 on my site:

http://www.PowerfulPowerPoint.com/

Click on "Examples by Chapter" and then "Chapter 8." These two examples
use VBA, but if you stick to multiple-choice questions, you shouldn't
have to modify the VBA at all. All you'll have to do is set the Action
Settings for your multiple-choice answer buttons to the right VBA
procedure, and that's not complicated at all.
