Check repeater rows with value before loop

Hi,

I want to show a specific section in site only if a repeater has more than one row with a true/false field value = true.

And in that section i want to loop through the repeater rows.

So is there a way to check that without looping through all the repeater rows twice?

Thanks!

When I need to do this type of thing I use output buffering.

if (have_rows('repeater')) {
  ob_start();
  $display_row_count = 0;
  while (have_rows('repeater')) {
    the_row();
    if (get_sub_field('true_false')) {
      $display_row_count++;
      // other code
    }
  } // end while have rows
  $content = ob_get_clean();
  if ($display_row_count >= 2) {
    echo $content;
  }
} // end if have rows
