Does anyone know if there is any way to get user specific data? For example, in a task for a certain category, the user can select whether he has already done it or not, using a user-specific Boolean column. But how could I get this data from all users in the category? ---

Let me see if I get it right. Besides you want the user to check the user-specific column, do you wanna see who marked by category? ---

It would require rollups over user-specific columns, which is not available yet. You can only access that data by exporting data from the Editor. ---

Me and @Robert_Petitto found a way to do it [inspired in the update of Glidegram](https://community.glideapps.com/t/updated-glidegram-social-media-app-follow-unfollow-unread-messages-more/9293/111) by @Lisa . But basically it will count edits instead of rows (if you use google sheets. If not, Glide tables are the best option!). Can you give us a real usecase so I can explain to you better? ---

I don’t actually NEED it now 😅, I just wanted to know if it was possible and how it does it! ---

The basic requirements are: An Administrator can create an announcement and target it at a specific group of users When a user opens the app, any new announcements will be front and centre on their dashboard The user can view the announcement and mark it as read Administrators can track how many users have read each announce… ---
