Hello,  
Why the Rating component does not use Template, If / Then, Lookup, …  
If possible complete the options of the Data.

The Ratings component is an entry component, just like the text entry. It’s designed to be able to set a value in the sheet. You can’t set any entry components to a glide calculated column because the user can’t change the values of the columns.

You would need to create your own for display only by using images or emoji’s to create something like the following:

⭐  
⭐⭐  
⭐⭐⭐  
⭐⭐⭐⭐  
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hello  
Thank you for your reply.  
Admit that it’s a shame to have a component already made and that it is not able to be read only in this case.  
But yes so I used special characters to do the job
