Use a template column. For text that expresses plurality (1 view / 2 views), use an if then else column first. ![Screen Shot 2022-01-03 at 2.16.01 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/8/a87a8e70a4c1c24eca06e60959a770fcef2cc4bc.png) ---

`https://thinhdinhlca.github.io/plural-text/` You can use this directly in your experimental code column. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/1/d/1d4937d27bbf96a89cf492d09e8939ad364b5eda.png) ---

I remember this. Does it actually provide any advantage over the if-then-else column? 🤔 ---

It just saves one column, and since it’s just for display purposes I don’t have to worry about its problem with forms/webhooks. ---

Can you show me a real example of how you use it? I’ve just been playing with it, and even had a look at the source code, and I just don’t get it. I mean - I don’t see how it saves any columns. ---

I see. But if you use the example that Bob gave above (parents with children), then you’d still need an extra template column to construct the full sentence, right? In which case, it hasn’t saved any columns. ---

Yes, in @Manikandan_R’s case it helps, but in Bob’s case you’re right. ---

It would be something like: - If countChildren = 1, then Child - Else Children ---
