Hello all, I am stumped. I am trying to combine data from two multiple select fields, into one. For the sake of confidentiality, I have created an example of what I am working with, using part of the Greek alphabet instead of the actual data: The goal is to combine these two columns into a third that looks and behaves exactly the same as the first two, simply with the data from both combined, into one. As easy as this feels like it should be, every single option I’ve seen either turns the output into text strings (which renders it useless for our tracking purposes), or else it requires a great deal of manually typing or copy-pasting the individual options of the multiple select, into the formula, one by one. It should be noted that while I have only used four Greek letters here, the actual number of entries we are working with is well over 600, and with far lo

I have information coming in from another application that puts a list of email addresses in a text field and I want to use that list of emails to each contact associated with that list and link them in a separate link field. I've tried to think through ways I can use Loop on Zapier, but it overwrites each subsequent contact, and Airtable doesn't seem to let me use a comma-separated list as something to use with it's repeat action in Automations. Any ideas?

Hey guys, Just signed up and exploring all the possibilities of Airtable.What I need to do is create a chart tracking my financial portfolio performance over time (I doubt it's possible to create charts, so essentially a table with two columns - one with the day, one with the portfolio value - extracted from another table. Can the entry creation be automated?So let's say every day at 6am, it creates a new entry for that day and takes the value of the portfolio at that time.I hope it's clear.Example: Sun 24$10,250Mo 25$10,480Tue 26$9,880Another option would be to have the days pre-populated (manually

I've been trying to find where the configuration settings are for a table with no luck. I'm sure it's obvious but I'm not seeing it anywhere.I'm currently using the grid view, but can't add another row.

Hi... I can use a little bit of help here from the experts....  We currently have a Google API integration with Airtable  on a project and we have set up routing and it is working well to create and updates routes (route records) within AT for us, but we don't know how to do 2 things we want to do:I don't know how to get an actual link back from Google Maps to the route record (we are using Make for this integration) to just show the route (waypoints) on an actual google mapI am wondering if there is any way to update the route waypoints (drag and drop on the map into a different order) and have it actually update the route records in Airtable when we adjust the route order on the actual map?

Hello,I set up an automation to notify certain colleagues when an asset is due to expire or up for renewal. Everything looks right, but when I send a test of the notice to myself and one other person, the notification goes through, but the identified asset that is due to expire is not included with the email notification. How do I sync up the notice with the asset? Thank you,Alisha

Hello,I have been creating interfaces for my techs to use so they can update jobs while in the field - the interface is designed to give them the information they need about a job, and allow them to quickly take notes, upload pictures, and log their time. Unfortunately, when I open the iPhone app and pull up this interface, I'm not able to edit any of the records! I can see them all just fine, but it's just not editable. According to the announcement of interfaces on iOS (https://community.airtable.com/t5/announcements/introducing-mobile-interfaces-on-iphone/ba-p/160766), we should be able to edit records, but the option just isn't appearing for me.I'm using the List interface, and have enabled the option to allow users to edit records inline. I can edit records using the interface on desktop just fine, but the iPhone app does

Hello, a very simple question … How can i do an ordinary percent-calculation as follows (column “Percentage”): Region +++ Sales +++ Percentage (favored result) North +++ 40000 +++ 20 % East +++ 70000 +++ 35 % South +++ 30000 +++ 15 % West +++ 60000 ++ + 30 % ++ Sum 200000 ++ Sum 100 % How is the formula for the column “Percentage”? I tried it with “Sales/SUM(Sales)” in different ways, but the result is always 1. Shame on me, but I have no idea anymore. Thanks for advice.

Hi, I couldn't find an automation trigger that ignites actions "when a record is deleted".  I have 3 tables interconnected (Projects, Tasks and Allocations), and when a project is deleted I need to delete the associated Tasks and Allocations.  How can I do this?Thank you since now,Gustavo Chelles

  A good example of what I am trying to do . . . . when you fill out a job application and it says list your most recent employment and it provides categories for date, company, address, title, etcetera.  I want the person answering to be able to say I have two and then a table is created where they can then fill in the information for each.  The number would/could be different for individuals answering . . . I want airtable to take the answer to one question and create a custom table within the questionnaire to collect the data needed for the specific number answered.How do I create something like this in airtable?

Hi,I'm trying to find a way but have yet to find anyone who has managed to solve this specific problem. I want to include an image, a big thumbnail in the body of the email, and it needs to be fetched from an attachment field "Artwork" in the trigger record.I have tried;1. Adding the small attachment thumbnail to the body, which makes the thumbnail too small and compressed.2. Using a formula to derive a public image URL from the attachment and including that in the body, which doesn't seem to work anymore since Airtable doesn't support public URLs from attachments (?).3. Simply adding the attachment in the email and choosing "Thumbnail" which leads to an error message saying "map(Artwork, propertyGetter("thumbnails")) cannot be converted to a string".Uns

Hi I have a formulaDATEADD({Kick off},{Time Estimate (Fibonacci Minutes)},"minutes") Whereby {Kick off} is an date field set to ISO and 24 hour time{Time Estimate (Fibonacci Minutes)} is a drop down with a Fibonacci sequenceI want the DATEADD formula above to return the expected job completion date and time so that I can feed it straight into my calendar. Weirdly, it's an hour out.For eg a kick off date of  2023-05-10 00:01 with a fibonacci of 21 returns 2023-05-09 23:22, when it should be 2023-05-10 00:22.Any ideas? 

Hi,I have added a number of bases to a screen/page on my Samsung A53. Normally, I would just be able to click the icon and this would bring up the base concerned - but this hasn't worked in the last couple of weeks. Instead, all I get is the list of my Airtable bases after a lengthy wait (not at all unusual).Would anyone be able to offer insight?Thanks  

Hi, How do I get currency (ie. $22.00) to display the cents “.00” when exporting? I have an integromat automation that links Airtable to email and when I use mapping for my dollar amount it only shows the whole number (ie. $22.00 shows 22 – $22.50 shows 22.5). Thanks!

Hello community,Please, can someone explain (or where can I find the information) on how to add 2 decimal places after the comma in the currency format in email automation?Thanks

Hi all,I'm using Airtable to plan and track renovation and landscaping tasks. I have a table that has one field (text) for tasks and a 'prerequisites' field that is linked to the tasks field. This shows me other tasks that need to be done first. I am trying to create a formula that will show me whether the task at hand is a prerequisite task for any others.I tried  IF(FIND(Task, Prerequisite), "Yes", "No")  but that (kind of obviously) always return "No" because a task is never a prerequisite of itself.How can I get it to identify if the a task is a prerequisite for any other task?Alternatively, is it possible yet to automatically produce a field for the link in the opposite direction when records are linked within the same table?Thanks!

I am planning on doing a clean install, totally reinstalling my MAC when Apple releases the next version of the OS this Sept. In preparation I wanted to create an Air Table with the license keys and more importantly the location to the installation files. I would like to be able to click on the field and then open the location of the install files. Thanks in Advance. Steve

I am using a date and time field that shows in ET- i.e 9/22/2023 11:00am. It was showing up in a weird way in automations, so i followed a formula that i saw in a pervious post to format it -DATETIME_FORMAT({Launch Date & Time},'M/D/YYYY \\at h:mma') - but then for some reason it's showing is as "9/22/2023 at 4:00pm". I obviously want it to show as "9/22/2023 at 11:00am"- What am i doing wrong?

I am attempting to send information from Airtable to Zapier and ultimately a message to a client. I am using the Automations > When Record Is Created trigger to Run Script. I am using the script from this article: Instant Webhooks with Zapier and Airtable My automation says it runs successfully in Airtable, and my Zapier says the Catch Hook runs successfully, but my QueryString is returning everything “Undefined” Basically none of the data is being sent from Airtable to Zapier. let url = "[ZapWebhook]"; // Replace the [ZapWebhook] with the webhook provided from the Zap Trigger step. let config = input.config(); // This allows the Input Variables to be used in the code. await fetch(url + "?RecordID=" + config.RecordID + "&FirstName=" + config.FirstName + "&LastNa

Greetings! I'm currently exploring how to sort data in columns while using Airtable's grid interface. I can successfully sort data on the backend, but I'm seeking a way to enable users and viewers to sort this data directly within Airtable's grid interface. Your guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.Thank you!

Hi everyone,I'm trying to create a formula field that pulls either one of two dates (depending on which one is the earliest) or gives "Pending Date" if both columns are empty. I've tried several different formulas and have gotten close, but I can't get the formula to fill in "pending date" still -- it always gives me #ERROR. Here are two formulas I have tried: IF(IS_BEFORE({Date 1}, {Date 2}), DATETIME_FORMAT({Date 1}, 'YYYY'),IF({Date 1}=BLANK(), DATETIME_FORMAT({Date 2}, "YYYY", "Pending Date")))and  I

Hello Everyone!Can someone help me troubleshoot why using IF formula with arguments containing field values with decimal points return errors? All the fields are in currency format with precision of 1.00 except one with duration type field in seconds and in decimal format. Here's my formula and there's at least 4 different results to expect (FULLY-PAID, PARTIALLY-PAID, OVER-PAID, NO PAYMENT and N/A if all 4 logical arguments are false. Below is my formula.  IF({Total Amount Paid (ToDate)}=0,"NO PAYMENT",IF({Total Amount Paid (ToDate)}<{Total Amount Due (ToDate)},"PARTIALLY-PAID",IF({Total Amount Paid (ToDate)}=

Hello,I have a script running automatically when the USD balance of my expense sheet is changed. It updates the balance column to track expenses.   // change these names to pick a view: let table = base.getTable('Tangle Treasury Expenses'); let view = table.getView('Grid view'); let result = await view.selectRecordsAsync(); let runningTotal = 0; for (let record of result.records) { // change the field names here to adapt this script to your base runningTotal += record.getCellValue('USD Formula'); await table.updateRecordAsync(record, { 'USD Balance': runningTotal, }); }   It keeps timing out at 30 seconds. Randomly it successfully completes at 28 seconds but rare.Any options to fix this?
