Hey i was trying to make a button that gets a “number” value from a certain database and adds a certain amount to it. Is this possible or should i figure out a different way to do it? Im new to wix code and im not very good. Thank You.

EX. Number = 2

- A button labeled “+2” is clicked and the number changes to a 4.

check this video to know more about collections and how to connect it to your fields.

you need to make a dataset and connect a text field with number you retrieved from database and change it after pressing the button by (onClick) method

> A button on your site.

and maybe you want to know how to update the value you doubled in the database “after making the write permission”

> **[wix-data - Velo API Reference - Wix.com](https://www.wix.com/velo/reference/wix-data)**
>
> The wix-data module contains functionality for working with data in collections.

I recommend you to read more and watch more videos about wix code before starting a real coding.  
this would help you out.
