Hi @samyt3475q, you want to think about grabbing the data not from the data viewer but from the data source. The item click event in the data list viewer blocks will allow you to click on a row and then you can use that row ID to get the value from the data source itself. ![Screenshot 2023-10-20 at 1.10.51 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/c/9/c99698dbd53fa1d2029949e49f61d3db9048acf0.png) Let me know if this works! ---

Why did you not try exactly what @matt_conroy suggested? The “for row id” value must be a valid row id or an integer. It can’t be anything else. So you can use the green `row id` block there as @matt_conroy showed above. ---
