Selection block (radio / checkboxes)

Updated 2026-09-02

The Selection block shows options as clickable cards. Visitors pick one, or several, and the values behind their choices stand in for the cell you assign. This article covers single vs. multiple selection, showing values, images and card format, and bulk import.

What it does

A Selection renders its options as a grid of cards. Each option has a label and a numeric value. By default the visitor picks one option (like radio buttons). Turn on multiple answers and they can pick several (like checkboxes), in which case the sum of the selected values is substituted into the block's assigned cell when the calculator runs.

Adding one

  1. In the Input tab, click + Add and choose Selection.
  2. Click the block to open its settings.

Settings

Formula

In the Formula group, click Assign to bind the block to a spreadsheet cell. See Assigning input blocks to cells.

General

The General group has the shared title, description, and hover hint controls (see Common block settings), plus:

  • Allow multiple answers — when on, visitors can select more than one option, and the sum of all selected values is substituted into the cell. When off, selecting an option replaces the previous one.

Options

  • Show numeric value — display each option's value on its card as a light pill (for example 12,400).
  • Display as — appears only while Show numeric value is on. Choose Number, Currency, or %; picking Currency reveals a currency picker. See Number formats.
  • Image — attach an image to each option. See Images on options.
  • Card Format — when images are on, lay each option out as a card with the image stacked above the label. With Card Format off, image options sit beside their label instead.
  • Options — click the options row, which reads for example 4 options followed by Edit, to open the options drawer, where you can search, edit, and import from CSV.

Single vs. multiple

  • Single (default): one selection at a time; its value stands in for the cell.
  • Multiple: any number of selections; the sum of their values stands in. Use this for "select all that apply" inputs where each choice adds to a total.

Building and importing options

Add options in the drawer with + Add, and search the list by label once it passes five options. To create many options at once, use Import CSV in the drawer. See Importing options from CSV.
