Hello @keenspace welcome to the community  
To use Data source blocks you have to [add a data source](https://docs.thunkable.com/blocks/app-features/data-sources-blocks) inside your project  
Then you can find them here:

Hmm, that’s where I’ve been looking. I do have my data sources set up through AirTable. But all I get for options are the following:

Hello @keenspace  
Thank you for sharing the screenshot  
This is the current version of Airtable blocks  
At the moment it is not possible to set dynamically the column on the get value block but we have a feature request for this: [Sheet Name as Variable on Google Sheets - Questions about Thunkable / Feature Requests - Community](https://community.thunkable.com/t/sheet-name-as-variable-on-google-sheets/2916509)
