Hello all,

I finally figured out how to use the math columns in the data editor and now am interested in the ability to clear the input by the click of a button/switch if user wanted to.

Is there a practical way to clear input data after the calculation?

Let’s say you store them in a user-specific column, you can clear it by making a math column with the value being user-specific columns times minus 1. Then make a button, link it to an increment action on the user-specific column, with the value being the minus column. I usually call that reset value.
