Hi guys! Is it possible to store multiple data in a stored variable? I am using this for my translation app so the user can see its history of translations. Thanks. ---

You can save a list to a stored variable so yes, it’s possible. But you should use a local data source instead. It’s going to be much easier to manage. This should be helpful. It’s not exactly what you need but it will show you how to work with data sources.

Use `objects` in the `stored variable` ---

maybe you just need to store a list of items - eg. a list of 7 amounts representing sales for the week, etc.? ---

I don’t want a list of items, I want to be able to add a single piece of data, then another one, then another one and so on. No multiple at the same time. ---

Have you considered a `Local Table`? Use the Database icon ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/b/2/b29aab2149a9779417b9e91fae67a9c826159526.png) Click the **+** button ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/5/a/5a47e42f6dae9bf9809f004988526b3196c947df.png) Click **Create New** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/9/7/9704532688a5667c5d42f20a63437a331a95fa85.png) Select **Create your own table** and then you can use it in your code as a `Local Table` and save whatever you want. ---

Yes, that’s the best option and that’s what’s shown in the video I posted as well. @ant_1 if you try to use a local data source/table and have trouble, let us know. ---
