Hey, the data is being shown correctly in the backend but in the frontend the data is not being shown completely

Also tell how to get the row index without using lookup column as the lookup stops working when row exceeds 100 rows

Are you using a Big Table?  
That is a limitation of Big Tables. If you need it to work for more than 100 rows, then you must use a regular Glide table.

But I heard that big tables allow faster loads and are much better than normal tables in speed

You must be aware of the limitations when working with Big Tables. This might not be an exhaustive list.

The normal tables take time to load a lot even if most of them are empty is there a fix?

</div>

I can transfer to normal glide tables but they are taking too much time to load possibly becuse of row lookup because it is getting 100+ values for getting the row Index – Is there any faster approach to do this?

Are you still using Big Tables? I think the recommendation is to switch to regular Glide tables especially for lookups more than 100+ rows

Try removing any filters to see if the filter may be causing issues.

Do you have a screenshot of what’s not working?

Just so I understand - what you see in the layout doesn’t correlate with what you see in the data editor, correct?

I’ve also seen this. One thing to be aware of is that each of the data editor and layout editor have separate independent connections to the Glide back end, so it is possible that they can sometimes become out of sync. However, I have found that this does not affect the published App, which always reflects correctly.

So my question for you is - have you checked the published App to see if the data looks correct?
