I am not sure I fully understand your question.

If you want to calculate a question within a repeat using pulldata(), the answer is yes. There is no difference between using pulldata() in or out of a repeat.

If you want to populate entire repeat records from a pulldata() function, the answer is no. A repeat group can only be populated with records through the Inbox. You cannot create a new record in a repeat using an XLSForm expression.

Hi @IsmaelChivite

Is there a way to work around filling up entire repeat records? Perhaps using Java?

Thank you,

Ana

Not that I am aware of. Technically, you cannot calculate a value on a record that does not exist. That is, you can't have the survey automatically add a new record to a repeat. If you have an existing record in a repeat, you can prepoulate values using the calculation column, but not add the new row. Makes sense?
