High I have this in my table
When doing Antwoord 1+ Antwoord 2 + Antwoord 3 I would expect 3 as the sum.
Glide gives me -17.012.020
What goes wrong?

Seems like you’re not pointing them to the If Then Else column, they are text columns.

No I mean in your math column, you’re pointing them to the text instead of the if then else columns. I see they’re having the same name.

The scientific medical term for it: Glideitis
Glide · it · is
_/glyd eet is/_
noun
1. When you’re working on a Glide App all day and you get exhausted.
2. When you go crazy because you’ve been working on a Glide App too long
3. When you write definitions you just made up in the community forum 😂
