Hello! I’ll keep this short (I hope). My background is I.T. (almost everything EXCEPT my nemesis… programming. lol) My goal is to build apps for small businesses, entrepreneurs and investors (individual categories that are at times synonymous). I landed here in the community trying to research an issue I THOUGHT was simple: Displaying a computed column on my screen. Hopefully I can find the answers and get good enough to answer questions in here someday. Hope stays well with you all and, of course… Keep Gliding! Jamie ---

Add a RowID column to the table (this isn’t used for anything, it just ensures that the row isn’t empty) Add columns for each of your inputs. These columns MUST be [User Specific](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/reference/basic-columns/user-specific-columns) Add a math column to do your calculation On your screen, DON’T use any type of form component or container.

Hello @NoCodeAndy 1 (On the left Navigation panel): A. I added a regular container B. I chose the Text Component “Headline”. 2 (On the Right Side): A. Under Data \> in the “Text” field, I clicked the drop down and selected the computed column. Hope that made sense. ---
