So I’m building a signup app which is fairly simple.
I’m having users signup on food items, but some items need only 2 people, but some items need 4 signups. How can I hide columns for those items that only need to 2 signups.
example:
The spreadsheet has
Food Item, Signup 1, Signup 2, Signup 3, Signup 4, Signup 5
I Only want to show Signup 1 and Signup 2 for food item 1 but hide Signup 3-5.
Hope this makes sense.

Add a [Maximum Signups] number column and reference that in expressions that Conditionally show or hide a column value (Show_If) . For example, in an expression for the [Signup 3] column:
[Maximum Signups] <= 3

If interested, you could also consider a multi-table data design that doesn’t require a dedicated column for each signup: The “item-detail” data pattern - AppSheet Help .

this works, but Salad row for example which only needs 2 people to signup would also show Signup 3 column.

Yes, you identified the error in my draft expression, and presumably fixed it. You would instead use:
[Maximum Signups] >= 3
