Hi  
I am new to Glide. Is it possible to copy the value of a cell to another cell automatically?  
I already tried to find info on the document but couldn’t find it.

Can I use “=A1” in A5 cell? like google sheets or excel?

A Template column would do exactly what you want to do…along with a Excel Formula column, Javascript column, Single Value column, Math column (if numeric or date), an IF column, and a bunch of other columns types…But, I don’t know why you would want to duplicate a value in the same row, so I can’t really advise on the best method to use.
