Hi, i’m experiencing problems displaying math data in the layout. Situation: Data → column 1: number column 2: number column 3: math (number/number) Layout → Text or an other output ive tried (richt text, basic table, …): Column 1 data = OK Column 2 data = OK Column 3 data = The whole text section (or table,…) is not showing Any idea why this is happening? ---

Are you using Row Owners anywhere? Can you provide a screenshot of the Data Editor that shows the 3 columns? What do you see when you click on the “Data” tab in the Layout view? (see below) ![Screen Shot 2022-07-26 at 2.41.37 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/d/7/d789188383dd1c571fe754db31c7dca3b64064d0.png) ---

Not using rown owners at the moment. Column 1: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/f/7/f7f49c866fe76a6972c5de619e5496e824e08916.png) Column 2 ,3 in same order as described above. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/b/a/ba7ef223fc9b01ec0342d72badf85fd30bb83f6f.png) ---

Your first column is an array. It shouldn’t be possible to use that in a Math column. Can you show how your Math column is configured please? ---

The array is automatically formed by Glide itself. I can’t split it up for some reason. In my google sheets it shows correctly in different columns. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/9/39d2952b1461917dec46d591d6358a00867f7c85.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/f/6/f6e65bb29f91553813f2f1d2a38f423307c1e9d6.png) PS: The data tab shows the correct answer. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/5/9/59643d2545ef27f33a28c512051654cb583971ac.png) ---

Okay, I’m beginning to get the picture. I’m guessing that the source of the table is a Google Sheet, yes? And you have a series of columns named `IGA Amount 1`, `IGA Amount 2`, `IGA Amount 3`, etc… yes? Glide automatically converts those into an array column. What your math column is doing is using the value in the very first of those columns. Let’s take a step back for a second… Is your intention to use the very first value in the calculation? Or (as I suspect) do you want to use the sum of all the IGA Amount columns? ---

Yes you understand correct 🙂 My intention are also correct, i’m working with IGA amount 1 in this example. I have a math column for every IGA amount X column. ---

okay, I see. hmm, I can’t think why that wouldn’t be visible. If the math column returns a result, and you have no row owners or filters applied, then it should show up. What happens if you combine all 3 values using a template column, and then display that in a text component? ---

To test I made 4 text components and 2 templates. template test 3c = column 1 _space_ column 2 _space_ column 3 template test 2c = column 1 _space_ column 2 Text components: text comp 1: template test 3c text comp 2: templates test 2c text comp 3: Column 1 text comp 4: Column 2 Result: Only text comp 3 & 4 are showing. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/2/3/236c0605284dc4cd970f79e127b1ef16c4d69ddb.png) ---

Okay, I’m stumped at the moment. There must be something that I’m missing. Maybe somebody else will take a look and see what I’m not seeing… ---

Can you make the app copyable or invite [ariesarsenal@gmail.com](mailto:ariesarsenal@gmail.com) to your team which contains this app or a copy of it so I can look further into it? Thank you. ---

Hi Darren/ThinhDinh, As i opened the app today all the data is showing correctly. Maybe there was an update overnight? No idea what else could have done the trick. ---
