Hello Makers,  
I’m attempting to pull a title from a Google spread sheet each time my repeater triggers. I’m using the iterator from the Repeater but it’s crashing-out every time. I want the Google Sheets Module Action to retrievee values from cells `A1`, `A2`, `A3`, etc., one at a time during each iteration.

1. I start the repeater.  

2. I using the number to select my video.  

3. I use the same number to specify what cell I want.  

4. I Run-Once the GSM to see what output the cell generates (I’m thinking it will be A and the number)  

5. I get an error.  

Here’s my full flow:

Ideally I’d like to get multiple cells from the sheet, but just trying to get one to work. I tried using the GSM (Watch Rows) at the beginning of the flow, but that keep pulling just the first record.

Your help is GREATLY appreciated.

The `{{ }}` around your `i` variable isn’t valid. Remove it.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Instead of using a Repeater module, you can also just use the Google Sheets “ **Search Rows** ” module together with an **Iterator** —

> Returns results matching the given criteria.

For more information, see [https://www.make.com/en/integrations/google-sheets](https://www.make.com/en/integrations/google-sheets), and [https://www.make.com/en/help/app/google-sheets](https://www.make.com/en/help/app/google-sheets) in the help centre.

This way you can just map the value of the Iterator.

Ok. Making some headway. Thank you for your support.

Head row should be an entry into the array.

 ![Screenshot 2025-04-10 at 8.26.40 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/2/b/2ba0ccebbe7bf48d5f591cc44fc368f7d23639fa.png)

This is what I have set in the iterator

 ![Screenshot 2025-04-10 at 8.28.04 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/a/d/ad6809f554ac9864962a3bd60c3049ae185e5916.jpeg)

When i run it, it’s adding each cell, and not a whole row to the bundle.

 ![Screenshot 2025-04-10 at 8.29.05 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/9/2/920c38932cd3bdf41f77309a02eb628a2a81817c.jpeg)

I’m using the iterator bundle number to increment my video names. Thats working but it starts back at 1 after 4. (see operation 5)

 ![Screenshot 2025-04-10 at 8.40.01 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/b/4/b44ecbc0d7b32ec9cb9b7f92dba983aa4b9dc824.jpeg)

Which then screws up the YT. Adding the wrong title number and description

 ![Screenshot 2025-04-10 at 8.31.27 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/f/0/f0b1f9d4b712c0175f4603b904911049144a9693.jpeg)

I hope I explained what’s happening correctly

Hey, I got it to work using a simpler method. Works like a charm. Using Watch rows running every min to schedule my posts from my spreadsheet.

Thanks for your help.
