Is it possible to code this?

I have 20 students. Can I write a script that would count the amount of users in a list and create a button for every user?

im trying to create a register for a fire alarm and want staff to use buttons rather than radio buttons/drop downs etc.

when you press the button it goes a different colour and adds a number to a variable so it counts the total students present.

You can use a gallery, set your desired filters or just connect to your data source, add text label where label would be as "ThisItem.StudentName" replacing StudentName of the actual column where your student name is set. Add a button to this gallery, now you should have a button next to each student name.

Change the buttons OnSelect option to some kind of trigger action. If you have a column in your datasource called Status or something, then buttons OnSelect would be.
UpdateIf(DataSource,ID = ThisItem.ID,{Status:{Value:"Present"}})

then use gallery option = TemplateFill, there you can play around and use something like =

If(ThisItem.Status="Present",RGBA(0, 0, 0, 0),RGBA(99, 99, 0, 0))

to count students present use text label with formula:

CountRows(Filter(Gallery.AllItems,Status="Present"))
