Is it possible to use the increment button to increase values in more than 1 cell. For example I want the button to add to one specific cell then also add to the total amount cell.

Shouldn’t your total amount be a calculated value? 🤔

But yes, you can increment values in two different columns in the same row. All you need to do is create a custom action, and then you can have as many Increment Actions as you want.

If you wanted to increment values in different rows, that’s possible - but not quite so simple.
