Hello, I downloaded Glide (free version) today as im trying to build an app to simulate opposition moves in a board game i have created. I am as a first step simply trying to create a button which when pressed selects a random number from a list for 2 different players.

I have a table with a list of random numbers in it which represent the card option playable in the game. (not 1,2,3,4,5 etc)  
I have a second table which has players listed in rows and a column which generates a random number from my list.  
However, getting this random number to refresh at the click of a button is proving a bit of a nightmare!

Thanks
