We have a database of transactions that is monthly via csv import. This contains information like transaction id, amount, duration.Most transactions are simple one-time occurrences; however, some transactions happen over the span of months.For these long duration transactions, we apply a partial payment at day 30, 60, 90, etc. until the final payment which is a remainder of the total transaction. The issue we run into is that the transaction length and amount can adjust part way through.For example, transaction A has a value of 1,000 and duration of 40 days. Day 30 has passed and day 40 is in the future so our system flags this transaction for partial payment.Calculating the day 30 partial payment is simple:Daily rate * 30(1,000 / 40) * 30 = 750The issue happens when we import the following month's transaction data. transaction A imports again, but this time it has been adjusted to have a duration of 43 days and value of 1,100.So a different calculation is needed to reconcile and

I am trying to create a scoring system using Airtable where judges can score a team (with the different metrics in columns). What I have done: Created 3 different tables for each judge Each judge’s table has a list of all the teams (teams are populated as new records across all judges’ tables automatically using external software) Judges can manually key in the score for each metric and an overall score is automatically calculated in the respective record What I need help with: However, I want to create a new table which gives a summary of the overall score for each team for each judge (i.e. looking across a particular record, I will be able to see the overall score for judges A, B and C). And I want this table to be updated AUTOMATICALLY whenever each judge finish scoring the team. What I have achieved thus far is using linked tables and lookup function. However, this is very inefficient as I have to manually choose which the team (or record) to be linked manually before I can looku

I'm trying to run a script with 4 inputs, one is a Users name and the other three are lists of users labeled Junior, Mid, Senior. I want to return Junior, Mid or Senior depending on which list the User is in, the user will always be in one of the lists. When I run tests where I search for a user within the Junior list the output is 'Name not found in any list'.I will attach my script code below; the logic seems right however it does not find the user in the lists.Script:function findUserList(User, SeniorList, MidList, JuniorList) {// Check if the inputs are strings and split them into arrays; if not, use them as they arelet seniorArray = Array.isArray(SeniorList) ? SeniorList : SeniorList.toString().split(", ");let midArray = Array.isArray(MidList) ? MidList : MidList.toString().split(", ");let juniorArray = Array.isArray(JuniorList) ? JuniorList : JuniorList.toString().split(", ");// Iterate through each list to find the Userif (seniorArray.includes(User)) {return 'Senior';} else

Hi there, i'm having issues with letters' case in my filterByFormula text and API call.I'm trying to do a searching box where user can give an input of what they are looking for, and Airtable fetches from a big database. Right now if i'm looking for "Hilfinger" it actually works alright and returns a few records, but if I type "hilfinger" it won't find anything.Here is my API call, i hope you can help:https://api.airtable.com/v0/appk7bV1OTtj*****/Offerte?filterByFormula=SEARCH(%22TEXT+HERE%22%2C+%7BNome+Oggetto%7D)&sort%5B0%5D%5Bfield%5D=Identificativo&sort%5B0%5D%5Bdirection%5D=descWhat would be ideal to happen is that Airtable gets the records even if cases are lower of uppercase.Thank you very much, any help would be much appreciated

I copied the Project management Airtable Template and I see Manual sort as a field type. This is not available for me on any other bases. Is this a new field type? 

I have a table with 5K+ rows of data as such:table1Date - Year(formula of date) - Month(formula of date) - DataPoint1/1/2020   2020                                         01                          5461/2/2020   2020                                        02                           45...I'm pulling this data occasionally to an external dashboard with paginated API calls and would rather not have that latency.....which is fine, as I don't need all 5K+ records....I really just need the grouped and summed yearly and monthly totals such as:Year  -  Month  - DataPoint (a rollup sum)2020        &nbsp

Hi,I'm pretty new to Airtable and am unable to find an answer to my question.We're using a table as a DAM for our assets. I've uploaded all of our assets to the table, creating different fields to help tag them. We're using another table within the same base to plan our social media content.How do I pull in the image from the DAM table into the social media content table? I was just uploading as an attachment but would like to pull in from the DAM, so if it changes, it will automatically change within the social media content table.

Hello,I'm currently working on setting up an email system for sending bulk messages to suppliers. I've discovered that I can utilize automations to enable Airtable to automatically send emails to suppliers based on the information in my table. Additionally, I've set it up so that it sends a follow-up email one week later using the date field.However, I'm unsure if it's feasible, but I'm wondering if there's any method, whether it involves additional tools or any other means, that would allow me to check if I've received a response from the email or domain and incorporate that information into the automation process?

For our project management team, I want to create an Email Digest Automation where Every Monday/Wednesday/Friday at 1:00 PM for example, if there are Rush or High Priority Tasks coming up (Final Due Date) tomorrow, the email sends to those to who are responsible for each tasks. So far, I have Trigger : At a Scheduled Time (Every 1 Week on M,W,F)Action/Logic: Find Records (Where Final Due Date is Tomorrow)Action/Logic: Send an Email. -> And this is where I have issues. I don't know how to set it so each person who is responsible for each tasks receives the email, instead of sending it to everyone as a whole. We use "Assignment" fields to determine who is responsible to each task, but not sure how to integrate that on the automation here so let me know. 

Hi all - I work for an image retouching company and have a table in my base named Assets. These are all images that get linked to projects in a different table. Some of my projects have up to 50 assets. I have been adding new thumbnails for each assets and then copy and pasting the file name for each. I want to be able to drag and drop the thumbnails into a field to batch upload them -- and populate the thumbnail into the "Thumbnail" field and the file name into "Assets" field. I would not be uploading more than one thumbnail per asset. Here is one catch: I need this to happen on the interface level, not on the base level. The base contains sensitive financial data that cannot be shared with everyone. I was able to figure it out on the base level but need all of my colleagues to be able to batch upload as well via interfaces.Is this possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,When we originally set up our Airtable SSO integration, it was set to match against the user primary identifier (we call it a netid) instead of using the email field. Let's say my netid is d39562b. When I log in with SSO, my account email address looks like: d39562b@dartmouth.edu.However, if I don't have an Airtable account, and someone sends me an invite to join a base or workspace, the email goes to the email address which is my "real" one - joseph.montibello@dartmouth.edu. Then if I accept the invite, my account email address will be that form (joseph.montibello@dartmouth.edu). If there's no existing account with that form, it will create an account for that.So my problem is twofold:When a user gets invited to a base or workspace, Airtable sends email to an address (firstname.lastname@dartmouth.edu) which will not match the data that our SSO endpoint is providing.Whenever an existing user (with a netid@dartmouth.edu address) gets an invite to a new base, they get a new account cr

Is it possible to pull data from Harvest into Airtable? Specifically I am looking to transfer costs (Time and Expenses) in Harvest into two fields in my Airtable base. I do not see this functionality natively available with Zapier or Make, but am curious if anyone has found a solution. Thanks in advance!

Hello all 🙂 I've been staring at this and I am sure it is right in front of me but can't see it. I have a table of scenes that have their filming date defined by a lookup field (I link backwards for print result purposes - if you have seen my other posts DocsAutomator saved my sanity)Now the problem is of course that the linked filed doesn't ACT like one, so I cannot sort properly by date. I can group all the same dates together but they sort alphabetically, not chronologically. How do I accomplish this?

I have a table built in Tableau that appears fine on screen, showing the currency fields with 2 decimals.In the past i had to export as crosstab csv and then use CSV import extension to update records in Airtable. Now i want to just use a directly synced table from the Tableau integration, but it is not working. 1. Biggest issue is currency fields are importing as rounded whole dollars, losing the decimals.2. Also noticing that currency fields are coming in as text field and unable to convert to currency field. I have tried changing the number format in Tableau using Number (standard), Number (custom), Currency (standard),Currency (custom), and Automatic. Nothing works. Any ideas?    

 Hi all,I've been using Airtable automations in my base with a conditional trigger setup that has been functioning quite well. The automation is designed to send an email when specific conditions are met: namely, when an event is 20 days away and matches a certain status. This triggers an email to be sent.The issue I'm encountering is that these automated emails are dispatched at midnight, which is not ideal for my needs. I'm wondering if there's a way to adjust the timing of these emails so they're sent at a more convenient hour, rather than right at midnight. My automation relies on the conditions being checked daily, hence the timing.Does anyone know of a workaround or method to either:Schedule the email to be sent at a specific time after the conditions are met, rather than immediately?Modify the automation in a way that it checks for the conditions at a different time, not necessarily at midnight?

Hey Wonderful Community! I am currently having an issue with a formula that I am trying to show as a progress bar. Here are the specifics: I am calculating the percetage of time passed between a start date and an end date. The formula seems to be correct: ROUND((DATETIME_DIFF(NOW(), {Start Date}, 'days') / DATETIME_DIFF({End Date}, {Start Date}, 'days')) * 100, 2) However, when I go into the "Formatting" section of the Formula Field, it gives me a very large percentage which seems to be incorrect (in this particular case the preview shows 345600% but in the formula section, the preview shows 35.56%. I have attached the two images of the settings below:  Please can someone help me? xx

Hi, I am trying to create either a script or automation that will detect multiple records for me. I have my trigger set up, If a record has a scheduled date that was one day ago and the status on it is "booked"I want to then update anything under these conditions to "completed" I am having issues setting up the "updating" feature.  my configuration is as shown. I have NEVER done this type of automation, so I am extremely confused on this. any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

This forum has been incredibly helpful, so I thought I'd keep asking questions. Next up is why filterByFormula doesn't seem to work in my node app. However, the formula works in the Airtable UI and when used in an HTTP request via the API.  const base = new Airtable({ apiKey: 'xxxxxx' }).base('yyyyy'); const matchingRecords = []; await base('tblbfJeKQo52GnLWD') .select({ filterByFormula: '{project_id}="3986271"' }).eachPage( (pageRecords, fetchNextPage) => { pageRecords.forEach(record => { console.log(record); matchingRecords.push(record); }); fetchNextPage(); }, err => { if (err) { console.error(err); return; } } ); console.log(matchingRecords); The above returns `matchingRecords` as an empty array. However,  https://api.airtable.com/v0/app49uIs2F0Ca2ES3/tblbfJeKQo52GnLWD?filterByFormula={project_id}='398627

I'm seeing very slow requests when fetching a single record from a table with 4 records.Very slow as in more than a minute.What am I doing wrong?

Hi 😊I have a student 'onboarding' table which, when completed, triggers an automation to create a new record in a 'live students' table. So, each field in each new record is linked to one of my 'onboarding' fields. Some of the linked fields are formula fields and some are single line text fields.What I would like to do is copy only the values of the data in each of those linked fields, so that they become unlinked, enabling me to then edit the data in the 'live students' table, whilst leaving my 'onboarding' table unchanged. However, I would like my primary field (student ID) to remain linked.Is this possible please?Many thanks - as usual! Howard.

Suppose I have the graphs stated below.Chart #1: qty. returns versus weeksChart #2: qty. returns versus items during week 12Chart #3: qty. returns versus items during week 11Chart #4: qty. returns versus items during week 10Chart #5: qty. returns versus items during week 9etc.I want a dashboard where, while I'm on chart #1, and I click a bar over week 12, then chart #2 appears next to it showing the returns per items during week 12;if I click a bar over week 11, then chart #3 appears next to it. That way I only have two charts at one time, instead of thirteen on a dashboard.If possible, I would like to keep going with a third chart. When chart #2 appears, if I click an item, e.g. blue towel, then a third chart shows qty. of blue-towel returns versus weeks; if I click another item on chart #2, e.g. water bottle, then the third chart shows qty. of water-bottle returns versus weeks. 

Hello everyone,  I have got this base with active deals and I would like to send it via email to my team, but I want the email to contain the same table as on Airtable. How can I do that? Create a pdf?

Does anybody else notice changed behavior when uploading attachments with the API?AT used to fill the file name property by default, but since last week I'm not getting any value when reading the attachment field. Older attachments have the "filename" as usual, newer uploads have no value in the JSON.Can anyone confirm please?Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I am new to Airtable and new to the field also. I am based in Israel and I am trying to build some tables where the Gregorian Calendar (which is the default) is linked to the Hebrew calendar. For instance, I am creating a form where the user will either input an English date of birth or a Hebrew date of birth. In both instances I will need the table to calculate either the original Hebrew date, or the original English date. When it comes to due dates also, I would like to be able to query in either the Hebrew or English dates ie. all the birthdays in September or all the birthdays in אלול. There are many sources of Hebrew dates out there, one I found on Hebcal website. Can anyone help me achieve this? Many thanks in advance

Hi All,I'm attempting to create automations that 1) Pair members of Table A with members of Table B based on specific criteria, and 2) Send weekly digest emails separately to members of Table A with their paired members of Table B from the past week. Attaching screenshots of the automation I've built so far:Weekly email:Pairing: I've gotten these to work at a rudimentary level but would love any and all tips on how to improve. Thank you!
