I’m a newbie, so be patient, please. 😀 🙄 1. I’ve 5 EVENTS DATES I call people to partecipate to. 2. They can CONFIRM theyr partecipation or not I made a tab were I can check called/confirmed people for each date Example: by clicking on **18/05/2020** from a list I obtain: jack John Paul Each name has a FLAG image if confirmed and a RED CROSS image if not confirmed. To obtain this result I’ve duplicate every name 10 times:NAME_NUMER OF EVENTS_POSSIBILITIES(confirmed/not confirmed) Jack 28/06/2020 confirmed img flag Jack 28/06/2020 not confirmed img red cross Jack 29/06/2020 confirmed img flag Jack 29/06/2020 not confirmed img red cross and so on… It works, but With 40 peopleI I’ve obtained almost 700 rows!! That’s, obviously ridicolous, but I can’t find another way to let a person have the FLAG in one date and the RED CROSS in another date… Thank you in advance for reading and help. Paolo ---

Are your Flag and Red Cross images replaceable by emoticons in Google Sheets? ---

Thanks for your speed!! This are the imgs, but if necessary I can change them ![immagine](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/a/a8e2785463779768fb86affbcaf9743352159c6d.png) ---

You can use icons in If \> Then \> Else columns. Here’s my example. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/9/9ca7395ef13a871ff05b15d418523807b869f322.png) And a demonstration of how it works with icons. ![ezgif-3-8bda15c92fc3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/8/89aaca9747c0b0da6cd6aa83ef32a8ada48fb9ba.gif) You also don’t need to make 700+ rows for it. With this if then else you can record just the “Participation?” boolean column then have an If \> Then \> Else like I do and you’re good to go. ---

This helped me very much, 1000 Thank you! I suppose I’ve to do an if-than-else column for each date. Correct? Tx, Paolo ---

You would design the data as person, date, confirmation (to store the boolean), then an If \> Then \> Else column in Glide. ---
