I have a repeater that is linked to a dataset. There are 8 user input boxes set as type “number”. This is for a 4 game head to head match up where I would like to have it automatically add up the scores input and place them in a totals box (and subsequently update the dataset record with all of the new information when I click a button in the repeater item. I’m currently stuck trying to understand how to properly work with the “current item” in the repeater. Here is what I have for code right now.

$w.onReady( **function** () {  
//TODO: write your page related code here…

});

export function calcTotals () {  
$w(“#repeater1”).forEachItem( ($item, itemData, index) =\> {  
//if ()  
console.log(“ifstarted”)  
**var** p1Tot= parseInt($item(“#p1Score1”).itemData, 10) + parseInt($item(“#p1Score2”).itemData, 10) + parseInt($item(“#p1Score3”).itemData, 10) + parseInt($item(“#p1Score4”).itemData, 10);  
$item(“#p2Total”).value = parseInt($item(“#p2Score1”).value, 10) + parseInt($item(“#p2Score2”).value, 10) + parseInt($item(“#p2Score3”).value, 10) + parseInt($item(“#p2Score4”).value, 10);  
console.log(p1Tot)  
console.log(“between”)  
}  
)

}

export function button1\_click(event) {  
//Add your code for this event here:  
console.log(“pressed button”)  
calcTotals()

}

I appreciate any help I can get on this, I am a beginner when it comes to writing code.

Sorry!!

```javascript
$w.onReady(function () {
 //TODO: write your page related code here...

});

export function calcTotals () {
    $w("#repeater1").forEachItem( ($item, itemData, index) => {
//if () 
console.log("ifstarted")
//if (itemData.p1Score1 > 0) {
 var p1Tot= parseInt($item("#p1Score1").itemData, 10) + parseInt($item("#p1Score2").itemData, 10) + parseInt($item("#p1Score3").itemData, 10) + parseInt($item("#p1Score4").itemData, 10);
    $item("#p2Total").value = parseInt($item("#p2Score1").value, 10) + parseInt($item("#p2Score2").value, 10) + parseInt($item("#p2Score3").value, 10) + parseInt($item("#p2Score4").value, 10);
//} $item("#p1Total").value 
console.log(p1Tot)
console.log("between")
}
    )
 
}

export function button1_click(event) {
 //Add your code for this event here: 
    console.log("pressed button")
    calcTotals()

}

```
