Good morning,

I am trying to start again on a GOOGLE SHEET basis in order to be able to manage my e-mail/alerting sendings more easily later.

 ![glide-screen](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/e/2/e296df7751b44cd370a914b7fa06873b543c3d22.jpeg)

I added a ROW ID column to my table from Google sheet.

- I can’t get the padlock as is the case on my native Glide tables, is this normal?
- A hundred empty rows with only a ROW ID keep being added to my table when there is no reason to be. Which tends to cause the app to bug. No matter how much I delete them, it regenerates itself. Do you know how to stop this?

Thanks

The padlock is just a visual indicator that it’s a RowID column. As long as the values are the same in both the Google Sheet and the Glide Table, there should be nothing to worry about.

- Delete any and all empty rows at the bottom of your Google Sheet
- Check for array formulas in the Google Sheet.
