Sliders enable users to rapidly change the value of a number field
within a defined range. On mobile devices with cumbersome on-screen
keypads, we expect sliders to become the preferred way of
experimenting with numeric inputs.
Steppers enable users to quickly increase or decrease numbers using
dedicated buttons, displayed next to the value. A variety of
properties are available for customizing steppers, including minimum
and maximum values.
The new formula functions TONUMBER, TOLOGICAL and TOTEXT make it easy

number formatting, date calculations, cross-references and more.

learn how to fix this.
If you can't run your app because a message asks you to reload the
