Hey Guys, I have a list of items that I want to update a single CELL of the specified item. I just want to update the “Likes”, to see how many likes that image get, but i have around 100 rows with images. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/b/0/b04039b6edb8ec80c68ed53224c2de898b36816d.png) If there is another way easier to do the “Like” function, please tell me! ---

Hey @Choske When you say: > [@Choske](#): > > I just want to update the “Likes”, to see how many likes that image get, Do you mean you want to get the number of likes from the column labelled “Likes”? Could you use something like this approach? > [@Performing a VLOOKUP in LocalDB](http://community.thunkable.com/t/performing-a-vlookup-in-localdb/66057): > > One of the most powerful features in Thunkable is the new [LocalDB](https://docs.thunkable.com/thunkable-cross-platform/create/components/data/local-db) component, which allows you to insert a mini-spreadsheet directly into your app. This might be the first of a larger series of tutorials mimicking features found in other spreadsheets, but for now let’s get started with VLOOKUP. question What is VLOOKUP?

Hi @domhnallohanlon! Thanks for the reply. I want to update the likes amount (so the users will like it only once) and also show it on the respective image, how many likes that image has, I guess in this case I can perform a vlookup as you mentioned, I will try it later, thanks! Just for you understand my app. I have a list of item on a AirTable, and in a screen i have a webviewer with the url of the item, so when i press NEXT ITEM, I update a variable according to the number of the row, so the user can navigate between all the items. My main point here is, how can I update the LIKES value from an specified item just in LIKES column? ---
