Determining loop row number via JavaScript for computed texts | XM Community
Skip to main content
Hi Qualtrics community - I have a complicated text fill situation which I THINK would be easier to deal with if I could add a JavaScript OnReady computation for the current row of a loop, but I don't know how to determine what row I'm on via JavaScript. Below is the scenario:



Q1

"At what age did you start smoking regularly?"

___ age



Q2

"At what age did you stop smoking?"

___ age



[Begin Loop]

Row 1: represents X to 17

Row 2: 18 to 24

Row 3: 25 to 29

Row 4: 30 to 34

etc. up to 70+ category



CIGLIFE

"About how many of the years from age [x] to age [y] did you smoke cigarettes?"

On loop 1, X = lower bound of the loop OR Q1 if appropriate

Y = upper bound of loop OR Q2 if appropriate



Example: if on ROW 2 and Q1 = 15 and Q2 = 23 then the text would read:

"About how many of the years from age 18 to 23 did you smoke cigarettes?"





I feel like if I could determine what row of the loop I'm currently on during the OnReady then I could update the text displayed on the screen dynamically.
You can use:

```

parseInt("${lm://CurrentLoopNumber}");

```
I think this might work - going to test it out and will get back to the thread!

I had a typo that I corrected above. There is no 't' in parse.
Works as expected! Thanks TomG! I actually ended up using this to solve other loop related issues.
