Hi everyone, I have a problem with increment and formula data. I can’t make an increment with a formula data. Glide doesn’t show the possibility for a few days ago. The formula doesn’t appear in the drop-down menu “Increment by”. On older GLIDE, it shows a dash instead of the formula column math. Do you have the same problem? Thanks a lot, Laurent (French Glider) ---

Hi Laurent, can you elaborate what do you mean by “formula data”? Can we have some screenshots of this problem so we can help? Thank you. ---

@ThinhDinh I create a date formula for a reset value but i can’t use it with a button. I don’t have the choice and i don’t understand because i already make Apps with this option. And now, it doesn’t work. 🤔 ---

As far as I know you can only do increment action on number columns. What is your logic behind using a date column here for your purpose so we can brainstorm about a workaround? ---

Thanks for your com’ I have already use data columns for increment. I know it works. But, now, we can’t to do this. I use this function for all delete for exemple with a reset value. For me, we have a solution. We use the sheet with formula math. You can see the screenshot, we can’ use a data formula. Now i see a dash ans not the data formula. ![Capture d’écran 2020-06-25 à 08.11.43](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/1/115784f9a9eec1d78cec68d60a2482920deb9fb2.png) ---

Hi @Mark Do you have a solution to increment with data formula? Thanks a lot for your answer, Laurent ---

I’m sorry, I don’t understand the problem. You’re trying to use a “data formula” for the Increment value? What is a data formula? Could you share a video of what you’re trying to do? ---

For this, i create a formula in the data. And, when i try to use the formula with the button, it’s not possible. I don’t have the possibility to use the formula. It’s wired because i have already use this option in apps. And now, i can’t to do this. ---

It seems like Glide lets you pick that column. What happens when you pick it? Could you make a video, please? ---

@Mark did y’all change which _Increment by_ column we can pick up? Because I cant pick a tamplate, math, or even a If then else column any more. > [@Menu Accordion](https://community.glideapps.com/t/menu-accordion/10771): > > Testing some new features, I decided to create a Menu Accordion using our new Increment action. Remembering we can customize it using images also! Tell me what you think grin This app I’ll test and also create some new features with glide’s lasts updates. Soon I bring more updates about it [Untitled\_ Jun 12, 2020 11\_45 PM] To do this Menu Accordion I had used a if then else column to “reset” the increment. But it deactivate. Take a look, my buttons are gone: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/5/531168a3ac4355eee04de5dd9ff4b5dffe192ec5.jpeg) ---

@Mark Can’t find my If Then Else columns In this other app, i did some tests and… nothing ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/3/39da9af169a7931c9d8fb9bfebd66d394c95008c.png) ---

Shouldn’t that be the logic to go with this Lucas? I think columns that are linked with other previously created columns like template, math or if \> then \> else should not be affected by the Increment button, or else the link between them and the original column will be broken. ---

@Laurent_Maleville Could you give me more information about not being able to use a Roll-up in a Progress Bar? I just tried it and it works fine. [Next page](https://community.glideapps.com/t/increment-and-data/11359.md?page=2)
