Hi Thunkers,
A beginner Thunker from Japan needs all your help to solve a problem using DB.
I have been trying to create an app that you can record multiple sounds and make each recorded sound to be used for alarm clock for each different time set.
I created an app that a recorded sound to set at a time for an alarm clock.
I am able to set it at 7:00am to sound a recorded sound, and it works.

But, I have been having trouble using multiple recorded sounds so that I need your help.
This is the app that I need your help;

I referred this below example about vlookup introduced in this community because I thought this would help and tried this but have not been able to solve the problem.

Unrelated to the sound, keep in mind thunkable does not run in the background. The alarm will only sound if the app is awake and active. ☹

Agreed. You can use keep screen awake to prevent the phone from sleeping. But if the user switches apps or shuts off the screen themselves, no alarm
