In my app i am using google sheets as a database to hopefully live update values and activate events depending on that, but I’m having trouble getting the value in the app to update.

I currently have this code, but when I update the database using the button or in the database itself I don’t see it being updated in the app. at the moment the label 1 just shows step 1, step 2 and then starts switching between 0 and step 3. but the zero should change into a 1 once I update the database.

There is a bug with the `get value from` block. See this: [Get value from Google Sheet not updating properly · Issue #1138 · thunkable/thunkable-issues · GitHub](https://github.com/thunkable/thunkable-issues/issues/1138).

Try using the `get row object` block instead. You’ll need to get the property “active” of that object to get the value you’re updating.
