It was working then it stopped working. I have rechecked apikey. Base id. Table name. I have used airtable many times before so I know how to use it I have put error alerts in case there is a error But there is no error and I can’t seem to recall the values It keeps saying label ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/a/0ade6fbf945cd769bc5f7e9823aacf2b22dd0721.jpeg) ---

It’s a simple block When screen opens Get airtable value from row 1 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/c/8c41838b51837604590ec790518e53bd9b552042.jpeg) ---

for the first argument, i wonder, would airtable ever return null, isnt there always a row #1 do you have a property named row number in your table? there are other ways to find a row number. and [this](http://community.thunkable.com/t/airtable-tutorial/531535) post can help you figure out how to find your row numbers ---

Null was added because with firebase sometimes it would crash for me And when I removed the first two blocks before airtable. Then airtable started showing value. Then I put the first block and removed second block and I concluded that it was the list viewer block that was giving an error Do you know why it did that? ---

if this causes errors ![Screen Shot 2020-03-26 at 9.21.57 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/6/26149cc38fae30bf8e492080d1f58856677b42dc.png) try trouble shooting the variable. maybe it doesn’t hold a list of text like you want it to. or maybe it is missing the commas. if it’s already a list and not text you need to make a list, you dont need that make list from text block ---
