Display position within form

Hi Folks,

I have what is probably a simple question but for which I have been unable to locate an answer in the forums or web. I would like to display the repeat number in the form for the user to view. position(..) accomplishes what I want to do functionally, but I can only get the value of position on the download, and have not been able to display it in the form. Is this possible to do when building forms with Excel?

Thanks very much for any guidance.

Regards,
Stevan

You probably need to store this in a calculated field within the repeat and
then reference that field in the label text where you want it to display.
