Good evening everyone, how are you? I’m making an app on the page and I’m having some problems doing something simple but since I’m still quite new I think I’m doing something stupid. What I want to do is to update a value that I have in a Google Sheet when I press a button. In fact, when I press the button I must delete several cells at the same time but I am trying to do it at least with one to understand why it is not working for me. I think I’m not setting the row id correctly or something. Below I put the images. Basically by pressing the button I must make all the cells empty again.

Hi @aleisrael9591ytizd , welcome to Thunkable! 🎉

The row id refers to the row by its integer position (1 for the first row, 2 for the second row, etc.) and must be greater than zero.

You will need a loop:
