The Slider block lets a visitor pick a number by dragging a handle along a range, with a matching number box for precise entry. This article covers the range, interval, default value, number format, and how percentage sliders scale.
What it does
A Slider shows a track with min and max labels plus a number box. The visitor drags the handle (or types in the box) to set a value within your range, and that value flows into the assigned spreadsheet cell. Dragging and typing stay in sync.
Adding one
- In the Build tab, click + Add in the input area and choose Slider.

Settings
Formula
In the Formula group, click Assign to bind the slider to a spreadsheet cell. See Assigning input blocks to cells.
General
The General group has the shared title, description, tooltip, block spacing, and background controls. See Common block settings.
Value
- Number Format and Currency — display the value as a number, currency, or percentage. See Number formats.
- Range — the minimum and maximum of the slider, entered as Value to Value. The minimum must be less than or equal to the maximum.
- Default Value — where the handle starts. If left empty, the slider starts at its minimum.
- Interval — the step size between stops. An interval of
1snaps to whole numbers;0.5allows half-steps; and so on.
Percentage sliders
When the format is Percentage, the slider displays values as percents (0–100) but stores the decimal equivalent (0–1) in the spreadsheet. Enter the range and default as whole percents — Numio handles the conversion, so a slider sitting at 25% feeds 0.25 to your formulas. Write your formulas against the decimal value.
