Hi all, One pic to explain the problem: [image] Surprisingly (or not), the app is still semi-functional. The majority of these ~73K rows are activity rows. These are rows that refer to a specific interaction with a client. On the upside, our team is rather meticulous and have excellent logging e…

That’s a pretty high level question and really depends on your particular situation, but generally, if you have an array, you can use a Joined List column to convert it to text. Then using a set column action you can write it wherever you need to. Later, a Split Text column will convert it back to…

[image] Jeff_Hager: if you have an array, Are we talking about these columns? https://www.glideapps.com/docs/reference/basic-columns/array-columns If so, I’m not sure I understand how to use this. [image] Jeff_Hager: depends on your particular situation I’d like to have all data ins…

[image] Test_Test: Are we talking about these columns? I’m talking about any array, regardless of how it was created. A single value is a single value. An array is a collection of multiple single values. There are several different ways to end up with an array, but they are pretty easy to …

Wow, thanks. Very detailed and mind opening. [image] Jeff_Hager: Then you can create a relation to link that array to a projects table. Could you please explain which type of table are you referring to here? Is it a general table for “project types”? [image] Jeff_Hager: How much data is…

[image] Test_Test: Could you please explain which type of table are you referring to here? Is it a general table for “project types”? I’m talking about creating those three columns in the Clients table (Basic Text, Split Text, and Relation). I’m assuming you have a Clients table as well as a…

[image] Test_Test: Thanks Jeff. As always, a delight to read your detailed reposes. Indeed!

Thanks for the truly positive and supportive attitude. Everyone in my organization can tell you that I’m a true advocate for Glide from the moment I started using it. They can also tell you that I’ve lost this passion for Glide over the last few months. [image] Jeff_Hager: They are probably ca…

Regarding your concerns about IMPORTRANGE, it can be a viable option if implemented carefully. You can have a separate sheet for archived data and use IMPORTRANGE to fetch it when needed. However, be mindful of potential performance impacts. Using the Glide API could be a more advanced solution but…

I don’t see the 25,000 row limit as the dark side, but I do need to address my row count and I could use some expert advice on which way to proceed. Soon… :fearful: Notes Business plan Transactional data, always adding rows New data comes into the app via Zapier as well as within Glide. Since the…

I’ve never grown an app to 25k+ rows, so I don’t speak out of experience. But I’m trying to put myself in your shoes. Here would be my thought process. [image] HeartwoodTreeCo: Transactional data, always adding rows This leads me to think that you’ll blow through 25k rows no matter what you …
