This has been brought up before. There isn’t a simple way with a single button press. The only method I can think of is to use a form button (which takes you to another screen), maybe capture some values using the special values components, and submitting the form to a results sheet. Then using a query or count to count the results and place them original sheet. It’s not an ideal solution, but all I can think of at this time. > [@How to increment a number counter field?](https://community.glideapps.com/t/how-to-increment-a-number-counter-field/1054): > > I want to make a button (or anything) where upon tap/click, the number column will be incremented by 1.
