Hi everyone,

I’m trying to do a Wow Farming app and my app has to do two things : display the number of items to farm and allow people to update that number .

The first part work like a charm but i have trouble when it comes to Updates a cell in Airtable

Here’s my block :

 ![block_sending](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/d/a/dae15fbe6e4ef6161a0a688cc4811c3bd95e83f4.PNG)

I have “random” results, sometimes the value of the variable is “Nan” sometimes 0 et sometime a random number (for example i’ve tried to send 888 and it logged 66 on air table)

Do i have a bug in my blocks ?

Thanks a lot 🙂

Hi,

Make step-by-step debugging, displaying variable values on the screen. This will quickly help you see the problem.

One thing to try would be to put your `'Spreadsheet1 call SetCell'` within the `'then do'` of your `'Spreadsheet1 call GetCell'` block somewhere after you set the `'envoi'` variable.

Good luck!
