Hi All, I have gone deep into the forums and can’t find an answer to this. I have a directory app on the free plan (500 row limit) that lists members of a particular group. There are two main sheets to this app - the Member Directory sheet itself, and a sheet I call “Admin” which contains a handful…

I would agree. Regardless of relation direction or how you use it. If glide needs to refer to that sheet data in ANY way, it should be counted against your row count. If you were add a sheet, fill it with a bunch of data, and never use it for anything within glide, only then would it not count. …

If Glide accesses those rows directly it counts. If your vlookup or hlookup accesses those rows they do not count.

Hi @a.manda , It is my understanding that if rows are in any way connected to the app, say relations, lookups etc etc. they will be counted whether they are hidden or not. You mentioned you have your user tab hidden but have a relation to that tab. In this case, Glide will count those rows because …

This is correct. Any rows not shown but used to reference something are still counted.
