I have an app that basically acts a price calculator where the user adjusts the quantities for any of 400 items, and a total price is calculated.

I don’t want the app ever to sync to the spreadsheet, I only the spreadsheet to sync to the app. This is because I always want the app to open with zero quantities entered, otherwise the user has to manually adjust the quantities back to zero.

Is here a setting or adjustment I can make to do this?

If you want user to always enter those quantities from zero, you can let them begin with a Form view right from the beginning.

However as the save the records each run will add a row to the table in the background which you could always later on discard the save rows if you want.
