ah, I see.  
My guess would be that you might have a chicken and egg situation. That is, the Set Column Values happens before the values are calculated. This might work better with a [Custom Form](https://community.glideapps.com/t/how-do-i-create-a-custom-form/25014).

Curious about why you need these values in the Google Sheet? Are they used outside your app?
