I need this variable together with others to be used to generate a pdf with docs automator. I know it’s a better way but my brain just stop working for now. thank you ---

Why does it need to be on the first row? Is it because you have a screen built off of this table and need to display that value? What’s the context? ---

Thanks for your reply, Yes, I will have a screen like this for each Site/Project. I had some mixt up variables shown here and there and I’m thinking a column that shows on the first row the value that i need based on the site will be more efficient. I hope I make myself clear, English is not my first language, thank you. ![Screenshot 2024-09-07 at 16.59.27](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/2/7/27053caf8fbb6075466ddcb141ae30be5cad722d.jpeg) ---

My question is what’s your ideal way to switch between sites? It appears as though this tab is a summary screen of sorts, but you’re pointing it to a table of site records. A better option will be to use a single row, helper table or the users table for the screen, and then allow your users to dive into a particular site to see that site information orbuild out some sort of UI that allows the user to switch between sites using a choice component or the like. Unless I mistaken? ---
