Inspired by a request from @Temple_ISD_Digital_L, I created this functionality that will allow you to award and display badges to your users. - Create a list of available badges - Create a grid of earned badges for each user on their profile page - Create a grid of players that have earned each badge Take a look!

Iā€™m using your spreadsheet logic for my team of students. They have 18 modules to complete, and a badge is earned when a student completes 3 tasks that when checked off, make up one module. So 54 total tasks for 18 badges(modules). Mind if I ask a few questions? Steve ---

I have a list of 10 students, they all must earn 17 badges in 4 years. Each badge requires the completion of 3 tasks. Iā€™ve watched your video, Iā€™ve tried to set up my google sheet, but then when I create the app I canā€™t get it to function anything like your example shows. There are a few differences, but it should have been manageable. [https://astonishing-view-9881.glideapp.io/](https://astonishing-view-9881.glideapp.io/) is the app 1. For every student it seems like I must create their own badge row and subtask row? 2. How do I add the 3 subtasks together to auto complete the badge? Iā€™d contract help as well, Iā€™ve been going in circles.my sheet is [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1md0Csh-mLM7atFruUKrHkJYJdqSUpBkjy1og6wQ7wfE/edit?usp=sharing](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1md0Csh-mLM7atFruUKrHkJYJdqSUpBkjy1og6wQ7wfE/edit?usp=sharing) ---

Check out this recent post of mine: > [@How To: Build a Gamified Glide App (updated 10/6/20)](https://community.glideapps.com/t/how-to-build-a-gamified-glide-app/13102/18): > > Part 4: Badges and Leaderboards Create badges, automate the awarding of badges, create user leaderboards and guild leaderboards. [[Gamify your Glide App #4: Badges and Leaderboards] ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vl_IcRNVreM) I imagine that your subtasks are recorded to a log?..You could create condition that looks for all 3 subtasks per task and only then award the badge? If you prevent users from clicking a submit button more than once (explained here: [How To: Build a Gamified Glide App (updated 10/6/20) - #10 by Robert\_Petitto](https://community.glideapps.com/t/how-to-build-a-gamified-glide-app/13102/10)), then maybe you only need to record the main task ID and count how many times that task ID appears for each user (if 3 then award badge). Just thinking out loud. ---

Hi Rob, I watched the longer version of this video in your gamify series too, but what is the solution when much of the data by which the criteria for earning a badge is generated inside the Glide data table? I.e. all my XP and Coins are generated from math columns, as well as conditions requiring to read ā€˜if thenā€™ columns. All this data doesnā€™t appear in the Google Sheet, so I canā€™t test for it in my arrayformulaā€¦ Is there a way to replicate this functionality using Glide data tables. I also remember you saying that you found the arrayformula method inside Google Sheets to be better, why is that? What limitations are there with doing it in the Glide data table - and what would be the workaround for this functionality inside the Glide table? ---

Figured it outā€”should be scalable and uses ZERO spreadsheet formulas. Itā€™s complicated on the backend though (uses the Pires-Petitto Trebuchet method) šŸ˜‰ Video to come sometime soon. ---
