SCORE function

SCORE() function allows you to assign scores to each answer choices in multiple choice questions, checkboxes questions and grid questions. It takes two input parameters:
1. The first parameter specifies whether the score should be calculated for all questions in the section or questions across all the sections or only the questions that matches the search term in the description.
