I want to make a button (or anything) where upon tap/click, the number column will be incremented by 1. How do I do this? Link action which trigger a formula?

Hi, Has a number stepper been added to Glide yet?

No, not a native built in one. You’re best option right now would be to create a button with a Zapier action. Let zapier write a new row to the sheet, then use a rollup column to count the number of rows. Not a great solution and it would have lag.

I am also in need of the number stepper for my app…please let me know when it is available

Hey @JackVaughan , Is this feature released yet? This would be very helpful way to decrement an “inventory” qty down, but I’m sure there are many other applications. The Zapier “work-around” seems clunky and cumbersome.

@Bamr I don’t know if you would want a button just to decrement an inventory item. You could simply create a relation column to link to your purchased items, a rollup column to count the number of purchased items, and a math column to subtract that rollup value from a starting inventory.

@Bamr , not yet. But Rob & Jeff both provide some options.

Thanks for the feedback. Rob’s work around is clever and would work but would be overkill for such a simple calculation. I actually found another App service calls AppSheet that has exactly what I was looking for, and a bunch more. [Inventory Decrement]

I think we have the winner now!!! The new action called Increment within Action Text´s features makes this posible! [image] I´m watching you Glide!! :face_with_monocle: Saludos

Yep…you can use this as a (mathmatical) reset button as well! [image] Increment Action?! Check this out: scream Reset button!
