I use a single value for math dates that I take from the user table with a specific user column, the problem is that when changing users the single value is not dynamic, is my method wrong? user lesta ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/9/a/9ae358d21bfadcdbbbcd22239c9f6b578c522791.png) user agung ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/2/e/2e5539839ff6a5819130ceb6940d6c69e6337f1d.png) ---

Use template column instead and select from user profile? ---

Also, user specific columns in the user table don’t make a lot of sense except in a few rare cases. Each user has their own row. They are not sharing the same row, so a user specific column would not be necessary. Only use user specific columns if multiple users need to have unique values in the same column of the same row. ---

The thing here is you might be able to specify that column straight from your User profiles table, if your “filter” dates are writing to the signed-in user’s row. Check thís screen to see if it’s built on top of the users table, and filtered to the signed-in user’s row. ![image|690x428](upload://jR34y2fUPiZlqDtsCt1uy58jFLc.jpegis Then, you can use the method Hassan and Jeff were referring to, and as you’re writing to the signed-in user’s row, no “user-specific” column is needed, because nobody is interacting within the same cell. You using single value \> from start \> 1 looks like the wrong thing to do though.
