Hi there, I have two lists, one has the amount of repeating and one the vales to be repeated. Say if the values to be repeated are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and the number of repetitions are 2, 4, 2, 3, 1 I would expect to get a list as follows: 11, 2222, 33, 444, 5 How would I do this? All my attempts so far haven’t worked, Dynamo keeps wanting to grab the whole list as a group and repeat that multiple times. In the image above I’m looking for a nested list who’s value is 0 and count 6, value is 1 and count 4, value is 2 and count 5 etc. etc. Hope this makes sense. Cheers, ---

Hi Mathew, It might have something to do with your lacing. If I understand your example above correctly, the following should work for you: ![2016-04-21_15-24-31](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/2X/9/93f1d5b91e941c363ec85a31ecd6682e76db5ffe.png) ---

Hi Mathew, here’s another aproach in case you want it as lists ![combine repeat](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/2X/7/7413b525e91fe2fee8625792bf1cd034809fff75.png) ---

Will there a solution to repeat null data? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/1/a/1a6a0b3a93f141e989f7050a4afaca21b4f5d369.png) ---

That’s interesting. **List.Cycle** and **List.OfRepeatedItem** have similar function. ---
