A quick checkout of airtable docs resulted in this. I’m not totally sure though.

Yes. Check out this link

> One of the most powerful features in Thunkable is the new [LocalDB](https://docs.thunkable.com/thunkable-cross-platform/create/components/data/local-db) component, which allows you to insert a mini-spreadsheet directly into your app. This might be the first of a larger series of tutorials mimicking features found in other spreadsheets, but for now let’s get started with VLOOKUP. question What is VLOOKUP? A [VLOOKUP](https://support.office.com/en-us/article/vlookup-function-0bbc8083-26fe-4963-8ab8-93a18ad188a1), or vertical lookup, allows you to search vertically down through a column of data and then find a corresponding value in your target row art Design Let’s start…

Here is an example, with the button modify, I would like to replace the row by the new one, or delete the previus and create the new one… Also it would be great to create a mechanism where I could get the ID from each user but I dont know how. Thanks!

can you clarify which procedure you want to do?

save a row of data

modify a row of data

delete a row of data

check for duplicate rows of data

In this case, I want that the Usernames couldnt be duplicated, Once that the User find a Username that doesnt exists, save it.  
Then, if he want to modify it, Replace it, for a newone that doesnt exist before too.

In addition to this, I would like to could get the specific ID of each user to, use it for other things (Like create specific interactuation between users) Sory for my bad english

So this post shows how to make custom usernames. This could be used for your purposes but would need to be customized to your need.
