Hi
Using zapier to import data into a sheet (adding a new row)
One of the columns has a calculated field.
When a new row is added it deletes the formula in the calculated field and in effect breaks the app.
Does anyone know how to import a row but preserve the calculated field?
Thanks

Hi,
Are you using =ARRAYFORMULA() or is the formula in the cell (that ends up being over written)?

Not using array, formula in cell. Looks like array is the answer?

Yes,
I believe it should work.
