No, that is not correct. The row id cannot be a phrase such as “Image Protein menu”. It should be a number such as 1 or 2. Or a row ID which is _only_ generated by Thunkable, not by you. You can see an example of that here:

> Hi, [https://x.thunkable.com/copy/17f4d8be352460ca73aca03b8aaccb94](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/17f4d8be352460ca73aca03b8aaccb94) Please take a look at the project above. In screen 2, why the “get value from” can’t fetch correct data from the table1 by using a variable in row id slot? It works when assigning row id to a specific number, e.g. “1”. Am I assigning the variable in the wrong way? Thanks

Unfortunately, there is currently a bug with the `get value` blocks. They do not retrieve updated values from Google Sheets or Airtable. I’ve reported the bug here:

> \### Platform
> Drag and Drop UI - web?
> Drag and Drop UI - iOS?
> 
> \### Steps to R…eproduce
> 1. Click the "Get & update values" button to get and display a value from a Google Sheet cell (e.g. 4), and update the value by one (e.g. 4+1).
> 3. Wait a few seconds (or more) and click the "Get new value" button.

> \### Expected Behavior
> I would expect the second time the value is displayed that it includes the added value (e.g. 5).
> 
> \### Actual Behavior
> The second time the value is displayed, it shows the original value (e.g. 4).
