Hi @Jeff_Hager - using the [ceiling formula you created](https://community.glideapps.com/t/new-math-functions/16761/52) helped lock in the values in the pull-down menu here. Hurray! I did notice that when on the hour (e.g., 4:00PM) the values did bounce back and forth between 3:59PM and 4:00PM which isn’t great because that contributes to the original problem. However, it’s not happening often enough to be concerned. I didn’t notice any odd behavior on the half hour. Both versions of your formula performed the same. I’ll stick with the second. Thanks again for your help with this! ![snip1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/f/f51cfcc6dfe9664b1df366e0c4e86cdc82eddc25.png) ![snip2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/2/266650bf40ddf220b01ff1eac4b21c54290612d0.png) --- _[View the full topic](https://community.glideapps.com/t/choice-component-doesnt-lock-in-dynamic-now-calc-values-once-theyre-selected-but-editor-does/16372)._
