I am trying to use the text field with repeater and then have them show in a table (I can do that part) But I want the values from the repeater field to sum up into a cell by itself. How could I go about doing that?

Hi, calculations like this are tricky in a View for several reasons. It may be possible with some custom code, like you can find in this example in another ticket: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/count-of-custom-field-if-it-has-an-entry/

That example only works in very simple applications, and can quickly become unmanageable with multiple columns and multiple totals, or split across multiple pages of results, or updated with AJAX. If you add conditional HTML into the mix, the problem becomes more difficult to resolve. In those situations, more complex custom code is required, which falls outside the scope of support we offer here in the forums.
