Is there any way to get the largest value from a google sheets using thunkable. Could someone post a picture of this?

I recommend you use a Google Sheet formula and then just access the value it generates from within Thunkable.

The problem here is that the code should only deploy whenever a button is clicked.

What’s the difference? The cell in the Google Sheet can hold the largest value and you can update it from Thunkable whenever the button is clicked.

It’s possible to create a “largest value” function in Thunkable. If you really need to, you can get started and post a screenshot of what you’ve tried. I would first make the numbers into a list (using the list of values block) and then sort the list numerically and then get the first (or last) value.
