Hi all,

I have build my own personal finance spreadsheet based solution. Today I input the data into the spreadsheet manually but through my laptop. I am looking to build a glide app that helps me log the income and expenses to the spreadsheet directly from my phone. Also show a budget tracking view in YNAB style - budgeted and actual. Is it possible on Glide?

Thanks!

Yes! This is very possible in Glide. I just built one for my family.

Also @Manan_Mehta has a great tutorial on how to do so.

It’s completely possible! Thanks @SantiagoPerez for the mention.  
I have a course where I teach a similar app.

I think you’re trying to have 3 columns instead of the default 3, is that correct?

Probably you must have a HTML Table for that (external code), the built-in method only allows 2.

This explains how I use html tables in my app.

> Not sure if this is what you are talking about, but this is what I have in my app. It’s an html table, because I needed the ability to span the width 100%, change the font size, and get the layout I want. I’ve been unable to get close to this with markdown, although the process I explain below would work for markdown as well. If you are familiar with html tables, then you will see that what I am doing, is I have a lessons sheet where I dynamically build each \<tr\> table row for each …
