I’m trying to update a cell in Thunkable data source by using this block “update value in” User presses a button and my blocks “get the value in” from the cell i want. Assign it to a variable. I update the variable amount. Then trying to save the new value to the data source cell. @tatiang @domhnallohanlon Any idea what I’m doing wrong? ![Screen Shot 2021-09-25 at 11.19.57 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/1/2/12f2991e4947035a0fcda7aabf86deaed566d183.png) ![Screen Shot 2021-09-25 at 11.12.25 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/9/4/944e23f935d3eec85c2b6e5c345881f175d18714.png) ![Screen Shot 2021-09-25 at 11.21.03 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/9/7/9791fc221feb815b0eda52696d16b3ddd5857b56.png) ---

@domhnallohanlon Troubleshooting I think what is going on is. I’m adding to my data source in thunkable but when I test the app its not updating the data source in the test environment so when I go to Get or Update the value that, column doesn’t exist. Is some server or api down right now? Going to clear my cache etc. ---

Yes, there is a kind of issue. I just tested it with `Local Table` and did the same with `Google sheet`. The same code works with Google sheet but fails with Local Table. ---

I’m still troubleshooting. I have found out that if I make changes to the local data source I have to uninstall the test app and reinstall to see the changes. Maybe I can clear app cache, see if that works too so I don’t have to keep reinstalling the test app. ---

> [@exploriverse.com](#): > > Maybe I can clear app cache Local Table in Thunkable are saved under `App Data` not under cache. you need to clear both app cache and app data. No need to remove the app, just clear app data. ---

@domhnallohanlon I’ve confirmed the blocks work. If I make any changes to the local database I have to reinstall the test app on my iphone. 😕 Back to coding… ---
