I want to give people access to the calculator I made and they input their own data but not have it sync back to mine. Is this possible? ---

Okay I have got that to work so thanks for that. My only issue is that rows are made for each submission, just blank for other users. I only want their own data to be shown not the blank submissions from others. Also I would like a sample row of data to be shown for everyone. ---

This sounds very much like the same situation as below: > [@Blank entries showing up in other user's tabs](https://community.glideapps.com/t/blank-entries-showing-up-in-other-users-tabs/56906): > > Ok, I haven’t figured a workaround. I am building a money management tracker. I have one tab labeled “Purchases”. On the Purchases tab, I have a form button that opens to a new form that gathers (date, cost and description of the new purchase) Once the user enters and submit the info, it goes back to the Purchase tab with an Inline list showing the transaction details that was just entered.

Looks like you haven’t applied Row Owners to your User column. ---

Yeah, that’s where I picked up that you don’t have Row Owners. I just had a closer look - difficult to tell because it becomes quite pixelated when I zoom in - but is that column User Specific? That would explain why you can’t set it as a Row Owner. If that’s the case, delete it and add it again - ensuring that you don’t check the user specific box - and then you’ll be able to make it a row owner. ---
