Hi All, Apologies if this is a question already answered. I want to create a IF formula that reads for a single select sell and alters a formula dependant on what the single select field says. For example- where Delivery Month is my single select cell =IF(OR(Delivery Month = "MARCH",Delivery Month = "APRIL",Delivery Month = "MAY"), (Cost*2*4)+8), IF(Delivery Month = "FEB", (Cost*2*6)+8, ))When i place above in, the cell accepts it, but no calculation is done and cell is left blank. I am unsure why as i have checked spelling and spaces in my single select cell Thanks in advance for your help

I have a table Formation 1 in Airtable that contains various information, including a field named Status with values such as "refused", "accepted", and "pack". I also have another table, Formation 2, which contains different information and is synchronized with the first table. I would like to set up an automation such that if an email in Formation 1 has a status of "refused", it should be added to Formation 2 with the status set to "pack solo". How can I achieve this?

In Table 1, I have a list of names. In Table 2, I’d like a single select drop down list that comes from the list of names in Table. This way I can add more names to the column in Table 1 and have them show up as options on the list in Table 2. Can anyone tell me if this is possible? I have played around with linked records and can’t figure it out. Thanks, Jim

Hi, I have a Base called “BaseName” table with a checkbox field “Show in filtered view?”, and another view called “Only Filtered Items” of that table showing only checkboxed items. There are 74 total items and 44 of them are checked. And the “Only Filtered Items” view in Airtable itself contains only 44 items, as expected. But, when I export that “Only Filtered Items” view, it still contains all the items. The csv exported file is called “BaseName-Only Filtered Items.csv”. Is there some way to make the csv export only contain the 44 filtered items? Another detail, I filled out the checkbox field by copy-pasting from an excel sheet which was formatting as “Y/N”, but the check boxes look like they were inputted just fine. Lastly, I referenced Export selected records to .csv and I think it should be working based on that. So I’m not sure if I’m encountering a b

Our project management company is on the pro-plan and has multiple projects schedules in the one base, across many tables. From there, in each table/project we assign different team members, and have multiple different views for agendas etc. Is there a way to sync/combine the tables into one master to-do list for 1 team member? We are open to using automations, integrations, and even software outside of AT (if it can’t be done within AT). However, we don’t have much tech knowledge (we don’t know how to use automations well). If anyone knows of a way, that would be great. Thank you.

Hello,We've got a destination base (called overview) with dozens of sync source bases and recently enabled two-way sync, mainly so we could assign projects from the overview base. When a user field is updated on the overview and the field is set to notify users when they are added, it seems that the email they receive has a link to the overview record and not the sync source record. Is this a setting that can be adjusted, or do I need to think about a workaround with automations? Most of our team will work in the source bases and not the overview, and there are fields that aren't synced which they use.I've also found that if I turn off the notification setting on the overview (but not the source base) the assigned user doesn't receive any email at all.Thanks

Hi all - I work on a team that manages contracts and all of our data lives in Airtable. We use Favro, however, to track cross-team work to resolve post-contract enrollment issues. I then create a new row in a "Post-Enrolled Issues" table of our base that is linked to the primary contract table so that we can maintain visibility on each contract's issues while also reporting on summaries in an interface view.Double data entry, however, is no bueno. I have played around with and considered transitioning from Favro to a kanban view in Airtable, but without going into detail, have decided not to pursue this further.I'm therefore wondering if anyone here has experience integrating Airtable and Favro? I did ask a colleague check it out and they said, "The biggest problem I’m having with Zapier is that it will only pull one field from Airtable and make a new card with that field as the card name, so it’s not any more efficient than doing it manually. I’m thinking we mig

I created a Kanban in an interface. When I click on an entry the detailed view opens. It would be nice if you had the option of leaving a checklist entry with an entry as information for yourself.I once tried a “multiple selection” but you can only predefine the entries.You could try with a text field, but it would be nicer with a checklist where you can create the entries in the detail view.

Hi, I'm very new to Airtable, but I couldn't find a solution for my issue. Maybe there is one that would make my life so much sweeter :)) Let's say we have a product and this product has 2 options: Machine 1 or 2 which machine to choose depends on another single select field in another record, with options 1 or 2. now want to use an automation if 1 is 1 create new record with 1. but somehow string arrays can't be accessed in automations. I'm trying to solve everything no-code, maybe thats the issue. thank you so much for your help. Kind regards

Hello I was wondering if there is a way to automatically populate dropdown options from data in either the same or a different table. For Example, if I have a sheet that has 5 rows (apple, banana, orange, grapes, and lemons) in one column. Then if I want to automatically add (apple, banana, orange, grapes, and lemons) into the dropdown options in another table? Is this possible? Basically, I will be adding other options in the future and I want them to automatically add to the dropdown options if they are in another table in the same base. This is just an example, but any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi all,I've been running into an issue with an automation that I just can't seem to figure out; basically, I have one table which contains a date column (Reachout Tracking), along with a linked field to another table which contains contacts to whom I'm sending an email (Contact List).I'm trying to set up an automation where when I update the Date Sent column, it automatically updates another date column called Date of Last Reachout in the linked table: I know that something in the automation chain here is messed up, but here's the chain I have so far. It doesn't give me errors when testing but it also doesn't achieve the desired results:

I am new to Airtable and haven’t had luck finding a solution for this use case. Is there a native or third-party function that automatically populates a Single-Select or Multi-Select field with the values from a column as selectable options? A manual copy/paste would not work, as the data would need to be dynamic in cases where new data is added to the source column or if one of the column’s values change.

I researched older posts and found similar topics such as this, but nothing solved that answers this particular question....I want to create a field with a formula that lists any items not selected.  An applicant has to acknowledge acceptance of the "rules", and we need a list of rules they did not accept.Is this an easy do?The sample form is shown below. The ideal answer is that the 3rd item would show up in the new field with the formula. 

Hi! I've searched and can't seem to find a simple solution to this problem.I have a multi-select column titled "Deliverable Owner" and there can be more than one person assigned as the Deliverable Owner.Based on these deliverable owners, I would like to create a new column that is a formula, which segments deliverables into "Team A", "Team B", "Team C" or "Multiple Teams".The formula ideally would work like this: If Deliverable Owner contains "John" and only "John" then assign "Team A", If Deliverable Owner contains "Ashley" and only "Ashley" then assign "Team B"...etc...and then last if Deliverable Owner contains multiple names, then assign "Multiple Teams".Is there a simple way to achieve this? Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to use automation to automatically store a document in the newly created data record for every newly created data record

Hello- I’m looking for some help with an automation/formula in airtable.I have a table called Inventory that has all of my products in it. I have a view that contains priority level of what needs to be produced next and the amount of space it takes up during production by product.I have another table with kiln loads (production) that I need to link all of these records to automatically by priority level and not have the kiln space exceed 90% (I have a rollup field that sums the space taken by each product). Essentially, I need the automation to start linking the products to be produced on the first record, once that reaches a max of 90% space, start linking them on the second record, and so on until all of the products to be made on the first table are linked to a kiln load.

Hello!!I have an automation I'm creating where I need it to do a "find record" based on email address. In table A, the email address is a lookup field so I created a formula field titled "email for automation" and simply told the formula to populate the information from the lookup field (as lookup fields cannot be used in the conditional setup of automations). However, when I go to validate my find record, I get "Invalid Input Error"Here are the details.Table A "Bonus Delivery"  Table B: "Webinar Registrants"I'd like the automation to do the following: When a new record is created in Bonus Delivery, find record in Webinar Registrants, and IF FOUND, Update Bonus Delivery Record with a check

Hello ,I have two tables: "Formation 1" and "Formation 2." In "Formation 1," you have fields such as name, surname, email, status, and phone number. In "Formation 2," you have fields like name, surname, order date, email, title, funding, and coach. The two tables are not linked.You would like to automatically transfer the same information from "Formation 1" to "Formation 2" when the status is "Refused" in "Formation 1." How can you do this using Airtable alone?

Hi all, I've got a fun little challenge on my hands designing a system to track our family's board game collection and gameplay.  Here's my base structure:Games - list of all the games in our collectionPlay Log - tracks the date, time, location, players, and outcome of all the games we playScore Sheets - this is the connecting table between the logs and the players since there can be many players in a log and a player can play many gamesPlayers - list of playerslet's use a sample record, tracked all the way through my base:Myself, hubby, and son play a game of Monopoly.  The play log tells me we played at our home on 10/16/2023 at 6:00pm and then lists the 3 of us as players linked to individual records in the Score Sheets table.  In each Score Sheet record, our final scores are recorded and calculated to determine the winner which is fed back into the Log table as the outcome.Now, multiply that same sc
