I need to figure out how to RANK items in Glide according to preference, and I need to figure out a way to allow them to input those values. For example, MOST IMPORTANT → LEAST IMPORTANT, with four options. In my mind, I imagine there may be some IF → THEN statements involved, but I really don’t know where to begin and I cannot find a tutorial for it. I will need to ensure that if one item is ranked with a 4 that none of the other items can be ranked as 4, but only 3, 2, or 1. ---

Lots of different ways you could do this. One relatively straightforward way would be to use 4 separate choice components (probably in segmented mode), and then use screen filtering to progressively filter the choices. > **[Choice](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/topics/components/pickers/choice)** > > Pick one value among many > **[Screen Values](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/topics/values/screen-values)** ---

Hmmm… okay, I will check out the links you offered. I am not familiar with “segmented mode” so I will need to explore that. I do think I understand the gist of what you are saying… Once they select one, it disappears as an option and only those not chosen remain? ---

Yes, that’s correct. Have a play with that and see how you get on. I could give you an example, but I don’t have time right now, sorry. ---

Here’s how I do ranking—not sure if it meets your needs: > [@1st\_place\_medal2nd\_place\_medal3rd\_place\_medal Convert Number Score to Rankings in Glide!](https://community.glideapps.com/t/convert-number-score-to-rankings-in-glide/34103): > > Using a combination of new Glide Plugin Columns, you can now rank items based on a raw value (points, score, scale, etc.) [[Glide: Create a RANKED Leaderboard!] ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvNTzYx7tvI) ---
