What is the proper way to use the Action when I do not want data in a row to be empty? I set it but it does not seem to be working properly. Thanks and Happy Holidays…

What exact action are you using? Can you describe more about your case?

I am entering the data, date, credit amount, debit amount, and explanation. If one of these cells is blank how can I send a notice that it cannot be null.
Thanks.

How are you letting the users enter the data? If it’s a normal form, you can set the entry components to be required as needed, if it’s a custom form you don’t show the button with the “add row” action until all required fields are entered.
