Create Custom Links based on Static and Dynamic Data

It would be extremely helpful to create custom links and display values with a mix of dynamic and static data.

For example, if I have a person that has $100 as their price listed from a Google Sheet, but the calculation in Google Sheet is only 100 (not showing the dollar sign), it would be great to be able to display $100 instead of just 100 in the Glide App.

Another application would be links: Let’s say I have a user with the username “john”. Instead of having to calculate the profile link and any other links in Google Sheet, making it slower, the more users I have, it would be awesome if you could have this dynamically created, so the field would consist of a static part (www.website.com) and the dynamic part from the data table (username=john) and it would link to www.website.com/john, for example.

This would have numerous valuable applications for links, display fields, buttons, etc.

You can do this with number column formatting in Glide

You can do this with a template column in Glide.

That’s true, but not if all the data is stored in a Google Sheet. What you mentioned only works with Glide columns, but there’s no option to format in the app itself.

This is great, thank you! I didn’t know that such columns could be created without affecting the Google Sheet. I guess that’s why you’re the expert! :smiley:
