Ratings are really nice way to provide feedback. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/c/1/c16ba99b2ed4123dbabbcdc3a7c6cffbda5b2593.png) In a multiuser environment I would need a simple way to calculate the average value of the feedback or maybe even show based on how many. Does anyone have a light solution? ---

Here’s my way to approach this. > [@Preserve visibility of star ratings after being submitted by user](https://community.glideapps.com/t/preserve-visibility-of-star-ratings-after-being-submitted-by-user/22695/2): > > I have never used a rating component outside a form. I usually write the rating via a form/add row action to a Ratings sheet so I can do rollups and show ratings afterwards. There’s another method that you can do with compound action, which is: Show a rating component Have a button that says something like “Send your rating”.

hehe, nice 🙂 but… I was just looking at your source. Is a code column actually necessary? I mean, couldn’t you just use a standard template column and use the calculated `perc` value as a replacement? ---
