Hello Do you know a line of code to make a random number appear in a line? For example I would like that with each click, a new number appears on my page between 1 and 89 for example? How to do ? Thank you ---

You can use the [Dice Roll](https://www.glideapps.com/plugins/dice) plugin column for this. Set it up as follows: - Create a User Specific Text column to hold a “seed” value - Create the Dice Roll plugin column – Use the Seed column as the Seed value – Set the number of sides to 89 - Add a Button to your screen with an action that does a Set Column values on your Seed column, using the Unique Identifier special column value - Add a text component (or whatever) to display the value of the Dice Roll column ---

Hola! Just to complement the Darren’s solution: if you want to have a random value based on time automatically (without pressing some button), all what you need to do is this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/9/393b9f0d59b2213ffe9dbe6e28729142ab438aa6.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/2/a/2a476265447cc2a89b7c78157a1693f4b3ecfe04.png) With it, every 10 sec you will have a new value automatically. Feliz día! ---

perfect thank you very much. It’s possible to have a different value on each line? If yes, how do ? thank you ---

I think so! Let me try/look for a smart way. ---

I think the obvious way would be to create a template using the RowID + current timestamp, and then use that as the seed value. ---

Thanks a lot of! I wanted to try this to randomize my Swipes but it doesn’t work. indeed I use the swipe model but it arranges the articles only compared to the table. do you still have a solution? thank you ---

First of all I’m sorry for replying on this old topic! 🙂 But thought to share this here that may help! You can make a Random Swiper using the Roll Dice column that mentioned above by Darren and Gustavo! Here’s how! : [Random Swipe?](https://community.glideapps.com/t/random-swipe/41800) Thank you ---

Try this as a seed value for a random number. It will only change every 10 minutes. ‘now’ refers to the current datetime which you can select as a replacement value. ```auto (trunc(now)*1000)+ (hour(now)*10)+ floor(minute(now)/10) ``` ![Screenshot_20230223-175139](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/4/8/48bf9f964911c568164fd34d3ef688e60fc132b8.jpeg) ---

I think you want use case #2 in the attached thread. > [@How do I create an auto-incrementing row number with Glide Tables?](https://community.glideapps.com/t/how-do-i-create-an-auto-incrementing-row-number-with-glide-tables/39572): > > This is a question that comes up a lot, so creating this topic to use as a reference. Typically, there are two distinct use cases when it comes to auto-incrementing row numbers. Use Case 1: – We need to generate a Part Number, or an Order Number, or an Employee ID. Once the number is generated, it should never change, even if rows are deleted. – The general approach for this use case is to maintain a static counter, use it to craft a suitably formatted ID, and increment it by one every time… ---

Hi, I think I can’t make this solution because when I use a template I can’t search my value because it’s not in the User table. I don’t know if it’s clear. I wanna make that idea but for my inventory like object 1,2,3 etc but the number never change even I delete an row or add one. Thanks. ---

You need to display like 1,2,3,… in the **RAPPORTS** table right? In that table now you can create a Lookup column like this : ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/5/b/5bc0810d2a0c5ee4ba0ee422d97b00e342bc231e.png) and you can create the Row Index column like this : ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/0/2/02ce5e489db0851745f8316034758b1df7221b02.png) and finally you can create a Math column like this : ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/9/4/94141d721e24e0978a383e4b483e8ed66b02f40f.png) ---
