I need to add 100 barcodes to physical objects. The objects are already in a database. I can create 100 barcode numbers outside AirTable but then I need to scan each one to add to the barcode to the barcode field in AirTable. Time consuming. Or I could add the numbers to the barcode field? No I can’t … then the AirTable barcode field will not generate the barcode image to be able to print and attach to the physical object. Has anybody got any ideas?

I'm trying to create an airtable that will intake many records over the course of day (numbers) in individual rows and then get the sum total of all rows by day. i want the sum to be its own output (i.e. not just the "grouped by" sum function) so i can use it for other uses and visualizations.i have my main table created and the intake form. however, when i try to create a second table and link records, i can't quite figure out how to (1) automatically import records as they come in and (2) create a sum by date in that table.

 I see that Interface forms have validation for dates. Question is how to set it up? I would like to set up the start date to be 14 days from today, but the Range limit doesn't allow dynamic settings. What does this Range limit help with then?

Hi all, I'm building a task management base with a Timeline interface set to the Gantt display mode.  I am interested in utilizing the critical path feature mentioned in the help site for Gantt views but I can't seem to find the settings for it on the interface side.  Does it not exist for interfaces???  TIA!

I have a Jotform that populates an airTable base.  If someone submits an exact duplicate form, I created a vew that shows ONLY those submissions that have duplicates.  I have a checkbox in that view that when I click it, it hides that entry from that view, and (Importantly), it hides the other submission because the two submissions are no longer exact duplicates. This works great.  What I am looking for is a way (automation) that will automatically click one of the two.One slight complication is that there can be 3 identical submissions and I want the automation to click the checkbox on all but one of the submissions. That one unchecked will still disappear from the view because it is no longer a duplicate.

Hi all -- I set up an automation to trigger a personalized email every time I click a checkbox in a table. I connected and reconnected my Google account, but am not receiving an email even though it says the test was successful.The email I'm trying to send *from* is my work email, if that makes any difference (wondering if our Google admin might have a security setting that would prevent from automated sending, but not trigger an error when testing).Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Everyone, Happy Friday!Looking for a little bit of help. I have a record of emails in one table titled "Clients" and in another table labeled "Appointment History".For every time the status of an appointment is changed from "booked" to "completed", I want to send an email to the client for customer feedback. The current automation  I have essentially updates ALL statuses from Booked to Completed at Midnight. The issue I am running into (I think) is my record ID. For the "to" section under the "Send Email' Action. I have chose the following upon testing to see if it will work, I get this error"Invalid email address in the "to" field: rec---" from what it appears, I need to sepera

I generate records through the week that all pertain to an event on Saturday. For organising these records into a week-by-week historical view (and for ease of human use on Saturday), I want to be able to automatically tag all of these records for the Saturday they pertain to. I have searched and tried a few things - this is the formula I got closest with:IF(WEEKDAY(Created)=6,DATEADD(Created,0,"days"), DATEADD(Created,6+WEEKDAY({Created}),"days")) Where "Created" is the date the record is generated. However, this generates a record for the previous Saturday. I don't really understand the formula I've cobbled together from old threads well enough to understand why. Does anyone have any advice to get it to fill that date as the following saturday from the "dat

I have the below interfaceThe idea is to give the service team members a touchable sheet they can use a tablet to checkoff when putting a cart together. However, the checklist is not editable inside of the interface which seems really stupid to not be able to do, plus for whatever reason isn't even viewable inside of a tablet/phone so defeats the purpose entirely. Any ideas? 

I have a formula setup to show a status based on an 'Expiry Date'.This works from a date column {Expiry Date} with a column that works out the difference in days called {Diff}, this uses the formula: DATETIME_DIFF({Expiry Date}, NOW(), "days") Then is the status column I am using: IF(Diff <= 0, "❌", IF(AND(Diff > 0, Diff <= 28), "⚠️")) This works perfectly, my question is how do I add an additional "✅" status for

Hi, Rookie question; I have 3 columns “Full Name” (which has the formula to join the next two columns) “Last name” and “First Name”, putting a comma in between. The formula I’m using is: CONCATENATE({Last name}&", "&{First name}) The issue is when Last name and First name are blank (empty records), the formula runs indefinitely in the Full Name column creating rows and only putting in the comma (see pic). How do I stop this?

I have linked voiceflow via API with airtable, this works. I would like to filter via FilterByFormula in the parameters, if I then filter on just the order number it works fine. If I filter on just the email address it works fine, but if I filter on both I get the error INVALID_REQUEST_UNKNOWN, with the message Invalid request: parameter validation failed. Check your request data. How can I solve this?

Hey guys I've created a new base, where one of the tables syncs to another table in a separate base. Got everything working however, inside of the interface in the NEW base, the button to update a field in the linked table does not work. Any ideas?  

Hi Airtable Community, When applying the TRIM function to fields that are lookup fields from another table I receive an error. However when testing other formula’s E.g. Concatenate that does work this particular situation using Linked/lookup fields from another table. I would assume that the all functions gather data in the back-end in the same way. Can one confirm this is actually not possible to use TRIM in combination with Lookup Field type? Thank you

Hi! I am unsure if it is possible to create a formula to make this work for my school, please help!I have a base created to track all applicants. We offer 5 trade classes each held 3 times a year that have a minimum age requirement; age 16yrs and 8mths (Culinary), age 17yrs (Welding and Phlebotomy), age 17yrs and 6mths (Heavy Equipment and Electrical). Currently I have a formula for DOB and age as of the current date. I would like a way to populate which upcoming class the applicant will first be eligible for. e.g. Applied for Culinary Arts, will be age eligible starting with our fall class in October of 2024. Right now I am plugging each DOB into an age calculator based on our start dates and selecting a drop down myself but would love if I could make this work with a formula in Airtable! Thanks!

Hi! We experience an urgent issue while airtable status page says everything functions normally. Support seem to be sleeping, so I ask here if anyone know any kind of solution that we can do. What we experience:- No automations are running- Automations page doesn't respond saying "An error has occurred" - Different error codes every time. Here is one. Error: pgl8szkfLTtXp41CN- API doesn't respond- Table views doesn't loadAnything we can do, but to wait for support?

Is there a way in Airtable where I can have automation where either record A or record B is being changed then trigger the automation that will update record C to be record A and record D to be record B. 

I have a extremely complex Airtable formula that I need to figure out for a financial company.It's a 3 step formula, calculating Grant $ amount generated per project within a 12 month time frame which begins at client onboarding, so each client's time frame is different.

Hi everyone,Our company kick off migration project on Google Workspace, and we need to adjust our email account. Example: current email: alphabet@abc.com.vn; new email in new workspace: alphabet@sub.abc.com.vn. When we complete migration, we will rename the domain and email will come back to alphabet@abc.com.vn.So what I concern and need your support are as below:When we move to use new email account: alphabet@sub.abc.com.vn, do you have any way to set rules to automatic transfer/move bases in current workspace to new workspace?During this our migration time, does it have any risk or bug like miss data or something like that? If acctually we have this risk, what I need to do to backup my data d

Hoping someone can help me with this...So we are a golf cart company, we have a form on webflow that automatically updates our airtable when leads select which upgrades they would like. However, in order to make sure we have enough on hand, we need to be able to track for each upgrade column, how many people have ordered. For this to happen, we would need to be able to filter to a view so that it's only for paying customers, not just everyone that fills out the form.Ideally we'd like to make this into an interface that shows "Soundbars Ordered" then displays the number of times that upgrade column was checked in the deposits placed view.

I can't wrap my head around this... For demo purposes, I have created a pretty simple base that looks like so, and this all looks goodThen I created a simple interface; the only problem is the item highlighted, which is incorrect. I have tried all the options, and nothing is giving me the correct %. If I plot the same data in Excel, this is what I see:Any idea how do I get the right ROI % (I need the result from the same table)?    

Hi,I have a Comedy Club and I use an Artist Availability form I made, so that the comics can pick and chose the dates they are available, 3 months at a time.Is there a way to have automate a calender so I don't have to keep making a new form every 3 months?Thanks Gang Members! 

Hello all,Very new to Airtable, but very excited to be learning. We are currently using Airtable in conjunction with our Calendaring program to track when people are OOO or Travelling. We have set up an automation that when a Calendar invite has OOO or DOM in the title, it colors it RED or GREEN on our Airtable Calendar database and our managers can read that clearly. What our manager would really like to know is if 3 or more people are out at the same time or if people are travelling to the same area. This would show opportunities for site visits, etc. Is there a way I can write an automation that identify "high travel areas" like this? I realize we might not be able to get really specific.
