Yes, same here. I am trying to do something like what you did here:

To do this, I’m creating a template column that merges the URL schema and their email address to generate a unique avatar. I’m then using an if then column In the data editor to show the randomly generated template if the image column is empty. If it’s not empty (meaning that the user uploaded their image) then I display the image.

I have the two sheets below, where should I be adding that first template column? I would like the column of food emojis to randomly generate one when a new user is created. The avatar you see now on the user profile sheet is my current set up where the same image populates once a new user is created, but I want to change it to the random selection of an emoji. Thanks!
