First, please don't post code as an image. Use the method described in [How to share code or flow json](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-share-code-or-flow-json/506). That would have saved me having to type out bits of the code again.

Change  
`let data = ""`  
which initialises data to an empty string so that when you add the other ones it concatenates the text rather than adding the numbers  
to  
`let data = 0`

In fact even better would be to use Array method `reduce()`. See [Array.prototype.reduce() - JavaScript | MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/reduce)
