How to count the number of duplicate repeated grid - orbeon 2020.1CE - orbeon

Question

It needs to implement a mechanism that will count the number of repeated grids and send the value to the dedicated cell (named x).
If check box - First choice is unchecked, repeated grid is hidden and cell x must show "0".
If check box - First choice is checked, repeated grid become visible and cell x must show "1", and increase by 1 for each addition of repeated grid.
What expression I need to use in cell x?

Answer 1

If in your repeated grid you have a field named first-name, the expression count($first-name) used in a control outside of the repeated grid returns the number of rows in your repeated grid. Assuming your checkbox field is named checkbox, your expression would look like:
if ($checkbox/string() = 'true')
then count($first-name)
else 0
You can find the source of a test form that shows this in action below, and at runtime you get something like:
