I try to send the gyroscope values of the phone to Airtable database, but it just doesn’t work. No any row is created inside the Airtable database. ![Screenshot 2022-04-08 175430](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/c/d/cda90816a9139195d98dc768b75117b6d10037bc.png) ![Screenshot 2022-04-08 175447](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/3/c/3cbe8590bed7315ba22998a720c876f3e2fbac3d.png) Here is the link: [https://x.thunkable.com/copy/9c5497e3cac12d41f96276cb675d0342](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/9c5497e3cac12d41f96276cb675d0342) ---

What else have you tried? For example, can you create a row in Airtable using a When Screen Opens block and using very simple text blocks that have “test” as their value for all four column values in the Create Row block? Post a screenshot of that test and let us know if that works. If it does, try removing one block at a time from the blocks in your first screenshot to see which block is causing the problem. You could have an invalid value somewhere. ---

I can post valid values to the Firebase’s Realtime database using the Firebase settings at the left panel. ---

I thought you were using Airtable??? Are you just mentioning Firebase because the gyroscope values work there? Please see my specific questions above. ---

So, I try to use the text blocks for the Airtable and it works. ---

Turns out that the problem was because of the Airtable site field formatting. Instead of set the format to “date”, I should have set it to “text” format. ![solution](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/e/a/ea810de964b67ccb8ec0deb48e5d7a5c244d2204.png) ![solution](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/5/e/5e76a44c137f6b2c870ce0d904d894bd496df1cf.png) ---
