Hello!I have a list of names under a multi-select. Everyone in Blue is a FT staff member, everyone in yellow is a contracted worker. I want a count field (or formula field) that will automatically count all the Blue multiple select to give me the total number of FT workers, and another field to count the Yellow multiple selects for the total amount of contract workers. Is this possible? Best,H

Hello,As projects come to a close, I want to review how successful my team was on staying on task and completing tasks by the deadline. My base is set up to flag overdue tasks, so I know in the moment when something is overdue and needs to get done ASAP. But I'd like to take a look at the project retroactively after all tasks in the project have been marked as complete and see how many of them were finished late.I can then investigate if I have projects that need adjustments or support (unrealistic deadlines, bandwidth issues, employee struggling, etc.).Any suggestions on how to do this quickly?

I've been playing around with both the SDK and just using fetch() requests, the latter mainly because I can't find thorough documentation for the former. The SDK docs don't say much of anything and the generated API docs just give me clues. What's the deal?

I’m an Executive Director for a non-profit who uses airtable as an additional layer for grants and program budgeting.The primary piece of data/source of truth is our transaction details exported from quickbooks. There are linked tables for many things but specifically I’m looking for support on building out functionality for our Chart of Accounts related to our Programs and Staff tables.From Transactions Details all transactions are linked to the tables: -Chart of accounts (i.e. Wages, Taxes, Benefits etc…)-Programs (i.e. Events, Residencies)-Staff (i.e. Joe Shmo, Jimmy John)Specifically to figure out the budget for a program we need to take Staff - within the Staff table, and assign a percentage of time to a program (i.e. Joe Shmo spends 50% of their FTE on Events). Because we have many programs it's easier to sum Wages, Taxes, and Benefits and then multiple them by the relative FTE %. However, an issue comes into play if two Staff members work different FTE % on a program.

I’m working with a group that has users shared at the Workspace level but now what’s to remove them from the Workspace level and share them on individual bases. I was surprised to find that users who are shared at the Workspace level can’t be shared as the Base level. Trying to do so creates an alert message that says “this user is already shared on this base.” Is it possible to shift users from Workspace to Base level access without first removing them from the Workspace and then adding them to the Base?

I'm currently using my Google Workspace account (which has 1500 emails/day, not 100 emails/day) to send Gmails through AirTable integrations. However, I'm unable to tell exactly how many emails are being sent with each call (which can vary).In other third party softwares like Pabbly Connect, you're able to see the remaining quota after each call. Is there anyway we can also see this information in AirTable? I need this information in order to know how to load balance email sending across our different workspace accounts.

Hi! I'm attempting to have an email going out to remind clients of their appointment time & details the before it happens. For example at 9am on the day of the appointment. I created a formula for "Is this today?" IF(IS_SAME(TODAY(), SET_TIMEZONE({Start Time}, 'America/Anchorage'), 'day'), 'Yes', 'No') The automation for "When a Record Matches Conditions" (When "Is this today?"=Yes) is used so that it creates an individual email for each appointment, rather than one email with all of them.  This fires at a weird time of day (5pm PST) so I'm sure it has something to do with time zones. I have attempted to modify the time zone this formula references with no luck. There is surely a simpler way to do this, can anyone point me in the right direction?Any help is appreciated! 

Hi - I'm looking for help building a tracker for customers that sign-up for beta programs. I have a table for Customers. And I have a table with a list of Beta Programs.For each beta program, they will have a google form where customers can be nominated. Then I want it to the feed into Airtable. Each customer nomination needs to go through a process so their status can move from Nominated > Pending > Confirmed. Is it possible to have one table per beta program, then one table that has a list of all beta programs that gives a count of who many customers are confirmed?

Hi, I'm trying to make either a script or automation to update Table A from a list of values in Table B.Table A is a list of shifts in multiple clinic locations. I'd like to be able to select a clinic location in Table A (from a single select column), and have the address for that clinic populate in the Address column in the same table. In Table B, I have the list of clinic names with their addresses. I'm trying this script, and it will run, but it doesn't do anything to the Address column in Table A. Any help would be greatly appreciated- new at writing scripts... Thank you in advance!

I just created a budget table, and three fields(cost, products, and source) are integrated with the product table  (pulling the cost field from the product table when I choose a particular product from the budget table). if the cost field is empty or 0 in the product table, the integrated cost field in the budget table should be editable. But I have no idea since the cost field type is lookup or rollup. Is that possible?

Hello there,I am trying to create a formula that calculates the total cost of items based on their quantity and unit price; while also factoring in a discount percentage if applicable. I have tried using nested IF statements; but I am running into some challenges with getting the formula to calculate correctly. Here's an example of what I am trying to achieve:Item A; Quantity = 10, Unit Price = $20, Discount = 10%Item B; Quantity = 5, Unit Price = $15, Discount = 0%I want the formula to calculate the total cost for each item taking into account the quantity, unit price, and discount, and then sum up the total cost for all items.Could someone please guide me on how to structure this formula correctly?Also, I have gone through this; https://community.airtable.com/t5/formulas/need-help-with-formula/salesforce/149593 and it definitely helped me out a lot.Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Real-time automation does not work. I select Trigger: When a record is created, there I select in which table the new row was created. Then I select Actions: Create record and indicate in which table to create a new row. In Fields I indicate in which line to copy the values ​​from which line.When testing automation, everything works fine, new rows appear in the table. However, when creating a new row, a new row is automatically created in the required table, but the data is not transferred.

All of my automations across multiple bases are consistently failing to trigger naturally, even though they work fine when I forcibly "test automation". They also worked fine a few weeks ago. This includes a few different trigger types (buttons, when a field is updated, when a record matches conditions, etc.). I'm losing my mind as AT support is taking ages to help me (one email a day or every other day suggesting things that are clearly not useful if they'd take the time to properly engage with what I've sent) and several processes across the business are failing. Any ideas?[Screenshots show the run history of just one of my automations followed by a screenshot from when I "test automation". They're ALL malfunctioning like this]

I've registered a new OAuth integration record on my dev instance of Airtable, however when trying to perform the first step of authorization by getting a code I am presented with the following error:"This third-party app failed to properly construct a request to Airtable: invalid client_id or mismatched redirect_uri"This is the URL I am using:https://airtable.com/oauth2/v1/authorize?client_id=1236efdd-af9c-492f-8885-4e5e08fa7890&redirect_uri=https://devtest.planr.io/ords/f?p=800%3A2723&response_type=code&state=436287f7af5f17f557e268439c72b382dce853220653118aec882823&code_challenge=d3N-LaD1qJ-l65YaZiCINK6cAm30GR7_cNX5VckyzhU&code_challenge_method=S256&scope=data.records:read%20data.recordComments:read%20schema.bases:readWhat am I doing wrong?

Hi, I have been having problems with this for weeks now and cannot understand why my automation is not working. I work for a company that runs an appointment based service. I book the date it  is for and the status of it. When I put in the info, it is defaulted to "Booked". When the day AFTER the appointment comes, I want the system to find all record that match the given criteria (appointment yesterday, status booked) and update it to "Completed" I have tried a million different things but nothing is working.  Here is what my configuration is.. Someone please help me understand what I am doing wrong..

Hello everyone. I have a question here and would like to get your answer to it. If we have many bases in one particular workspace, and some are synced bases and some are source bases, let's say A is a source base and B is a synced base whose data is synced from Base "A". Again, all of them live in the same workspace. If we want to create a new workspace and move Bases "A" and "B" to that new workspace, will this workflow or configuration affect the current data synchronization from Base "A" (source base) to Base "B" (synced base)? Thank you. 

Hi all, I'm a fairly proficient AT user but I just can't wrap my brain around this current project. I make and sell jewelry pieces. I do a combination of "stock" items and custom items. For stock items I'll make 5-10 identical pieces that I sell as-is. But then there's the custom work. I want to create a comprehensive system that calculates MSRP for both stock and custom pieces, tracks orders and inventory, and tells me what stock I have currently on-hand. I can't for the life of me figure out how to structure the base to be able to handle both stock items and custom orders. Stock items would record details like size, color choices, weight, etc. But they are set per item. On custom orders those details are set per order, not per item. I've been toying with a base structure something like:Products Table for recording stock itemsOrders Table for recording custom itemsThe Orders table would link to the products table to pull in base information, but all the products would have s

Im using the "Record Review" template for users to choose a record and then see all it's details.Each of my records has multiple date fields. I'm hoping to show these dates with a calendar element, however it seems I can only show dates for every record in the whole table or dates from linked records in other tables. Not actually just the one selected. I've tried to play around with filtering but that does not seem to get me anywhere.Is it really not possible to show one or multiple dates only for the records that has been selected?

We have a form that we use to calculate current enrollment of a program, this number will change periodically.  We have an interface that shows a bunch of other data points as well.  How can I display the last entered data for currently enrolled?

Hello, I want to add a calendar to my website with the scheduled events, which the volunteers can then sign them self up for (or basically just put their name down or click attending) to the particular events they wish to participate in. Any info on how I could do this would be HUGELY appreciated. Or if there are any suggestions on a better solution to this issue. Thanks in advance!

I have created a Google Calendar integration for Airtable. However, the Google Calendar I created shows up in “Other Calendars” as apposed to “My Calendars”. This means I cannot choose “free/busy” in sharing permission in Google calendar. My hope is that people on my team could events in Airtable to block off time in their own calendar so other team members could see they are busy and not schedule meetings with them. Is there something I am missing? Is there a way to get access to the integrated calendar so that I can show as “Free/Busy”? Thanks!

Hello! I found a few other posts on this topic, but none that contained a solution, so trying again. I have created an operational calendar in Airtable, which I would like to sync with my organization’s Google Calendar. As far as I have found, there are two ways to do this: by creating a calendar in GCal from the Airtable URL, or by using Zapier. I’ve tested both methods and they both work well initially. But neither one seems to handle updates well. With the URL method, there can be a lag of up to 24 hours to show updates. With Zapier, you can only create a new calendar event when the Airtable record is updated, rather than updating the existing calendar event. Has anyone found a workaround or a better solution?

Hey, I want to create a link inside my long text field with rich text formatting enabled by zapier. But when I write [Airtable](https://airtable.com) in Zapier I don’t see the Link as a hyperlink. I just see the text:
