Hi. NewThunker here. I have hit a block barrier\> I cannot find the correct elements to use in my blocks. I have a screen to enable users to see the data they have stored, through the app, on Airtable. On the docs database I am guided to start with: “When the screen opens” then “Set List Viewer1’s” “Text items” [Greren] to “List of values in myAirtable” in “Table 1” in “Field 1” [Purple] My problem is I cannot find these elements mentioned above. Where should I be looking? Thanks in advance. ---

Hi @michael.ross.140137, Welcome to Thunkable! 🎉 * * * I assume you have already added your Airtable database as a data source into your project (If not, [here’s how to do it](https://docs.thunkable.com/data-sources#airtable)). Now, in the blocks area click on `Data Sources`, and drag the highlighted block (below) into your workspace : ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/e/1/e18e0e169c701a29d7943bfa15fda2cb9c7aec81.png) Then you can select your `Airtable Data Source`, your `Table`, and the `Field` you want to retrieve the data from. _(‘meow’ in the above picture is where you have to select your airtable data source)_ Let me know if this helps. Good Luck 😊 ---

[kartik14](https://community.thunkable.com/u/kartik14)[Power Thunker](https://community.thunkable.com/g/Power_Thunkers) Now I want to create a total score for all of the relevant values. How does the maths work in Thunkable, or should I do that in Aitable and call the result back? Thanks ---

Hi! If the list you have comprises of numbers, then you can use **sum of a list** block - ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/6/6/66dad9a563a72cb1879a1d1c2efa61359cf4adb3.png) You can read more about the block here : [Lists - Thunkable Docs](https://docs.thunkable.com/lists#sum-min-max-averages-standard-deviation-random-item) Let me know if this helps. Thanks! 👍 ---
