Hi all,

I’m a beginner at this so excuse the basic question.

I’m sure there is a very simple solution to this problem, but I have spent hours trying to find it to no avail!

I am simply trying to replicate an input list n times (where n varies) into a single list.

I can obviously create what I want using List.Create if I manually input the count (n), but I want it to vary.

cheers

Hi Andrew,

&nbsp;

You put me on the right path! That was almost what I wanted, but using list chop I could get there.

“List.OfRepeatedItem” might be a better fit for you:

Even better - thanks Dimitar! Think I looked through and tried every node except that one 😕 Exactly what I needed.
