AppSheet Looping allows you to simulate the for() and forEach() loop functions in javascript.
As a response to the request of @martinnjeri6997 ,this allows you to do something repeatedly until a certain condition is met.
In this video, we will demonstrate and fully explain how Looping in Appsheet works and how it is implemented in your AppSheet apps.
There are a lot of use cases for looping. In this video, we will select multiple months from a dropdown, and create individual entries per month to another table.
We did it by utilizing the following:
● Ref columns
● Group actions
● List comparisons
● INDEX() expression
