I created a table called Items (household items).  In Items, there is a partially filled-out field, PurchaseDate, that is some items have a PurchaseDate; other items don't have a Purchase Date (field is left blank).  I want to run a filter of those items with a blank PurchaseDate:  Is the best way to do this is to create a formula field, named noPurchDate: LEN(DATESTR({PurchaseDate))=0 such that if the PurchaseDate is not empty, noPurchDate returns FALSE, and if PurchaseDate is empty, then NoPurchDate returns TRUE? Is there an easier way to get this result? Another more "normalized" way of handling this might be to create a separate table, PurchasesWithDates linking Items to PurchasesWithDates.  How does one create a filter of Items with no link to PurchasesWithDates? 

Hello,I have created 3 forms connected to the same page (they need to be) and I was wondering if there is anyway to filter them on an Interface to only show those submitted on the same form.Thanks. 😊

Hello,I'm having an issue with tasks. I have an automation adding a list of tasks from a 'tasks' template, which is triggered each time a new record is created.However, when I check off a task in record A, it also checks off the same task in record B, and in any subsequent records created. How can I stop this from happening - allowing me to check off each task individually per record, without affecting the other records?Thanks

I cannot figure out how to get a Vega-Lite chart to sort the Issuers in the y axis by the max APR value.

I"m not sure if this is possible. I have a table EndOfMonthReports, which has a link to a list of ClientExpenses. I would like to send an email with the report, and attach ALL the pdfs of each client expense, to the email.  Also currently, the ClientExpense table has a field AttachmentPdf, and another one GoogleDriveLink.  The Pdf would include the actual file as an attachment, while the GoogleDriveLink, as it name implies - has a link to google drive.Ideally, the automation would attach all the EndofMonthReport > LinkedClientExpenses.AttachmentPdfs to the email, and also download all the GoogleDriveLinks and attach to the email as well.  Is this somehow possible in Airtable? Or maybe via Make?

Is it possibel to create automatic base for the user when the new user is added to the table containing user info. Can we create script or any other method which can help us to create automatically based with predefined tables for the new user. 

Hey there!I'm migrating some data and processes from Google Sheets to AirTable as it is far more responsive to the frontend of a portal I am developing for my company. Right now, I'm using AirTable as the backend for the quote generator we use for our events. I'm looking to do the following:Have a set of Items that may be changed (Ex: Min/Max Price Per Person, Event Discount - Percentage Value, Weekend Markup (A True or False value set if the event happens on a Saturday or Sunday), Amount of Raw Materials that will be priced using fixed amounts based on what I mention in Section 2)The Price Per Person will go up a fixed $ amount of $40 if the Weekend Markup is set to TrueHave a set of prices that will virtually never change (Cost of Instructor, Cost of Safety Officer, Cost of Raw Materials)Generate a range from Minimum to Maximum price per person to be quoted withinGenerate an "Addon" value of additional

Hi. I am trying to use Make to automatically update record links, based on a generated primary key.  I am mainly using this because I am hitting the 50k limit of the Pro plan limit, and Make has no limitations on amount of tasks / operations.I have a field called LinksNeedUpdate, which when the value is 1, I want it to be able to set the value of 'Link to another record', to the value of a formula field.  I have the below fieldsLinksNeedUpdate: Simple formula field, which returns 1 when the values of CleanerMonthlyInvoiceIdGenerated and CleanerMonthlyInvoiceLink  do not match.CleanerMonthlyInvoiceIdGenerated: This generated the ID of the invoice. This field is filled in once all critiera are met for how invoice can be issuedCleanerMonthlyInvoiceLink [Link to another record]: This needs to be set to the value of 'CleanerMonthlyInvoiceIdGenerated'.   The system above allows me to automatic

Hi all - I’ve built a quick database to better understand who I’m following and who’s following me on Twitter in Airtable using syncs from Integromat + Zapier. Works great, syncs info to column headers for things like bio, # of followers, locatiton, title, etc. All things that help me understand who I’m connected with and can easily search through the database. My question is if I can turn this into a SaaS of sorts where a new user can signup, authenticate their Twitter account, and have a new base spun up specifically for their Twitter account (including followers/following). Is this feasible or goes beyond the strengths of Airtable and require custom code solution? Thanks for your help! Patrick

Hi, friends! I’m looking for suggestions on the best method to combine multiple attachments within a record. Essentially I need a button/formula/automation for each row in my table to act as Adobe’s “Combine Files” function in Acrobat. I use miniExtensions and they have an app to combine multiple attachment field into one, but they are still separate files whereas I need to merge them all into one. Is there an Airtable or Integromat function that can perform this task? Thanks in advance!

For my salesperson's airtable,  He needs to change the name of a few companies. He is unable to do that since it is a formula field. How can he undo the field from being a formula field and just a normal field so he can make edits to the name of a few companies?

How do I change the name of an interface with the new layout? Can’t figure out how to edit.

I am trying to map this formula field into a date field in an automation. However, the automation cannot display the date, and I cannot add DATETIME_PARSE to this IF formula. How do I automate adding time to a date field?P.S. I cannot just use a lookup field, because I have tasks being created from other tables and they all use the same Due Date field, which is tied to further automation down stream.

Hi!with the API Key deprecation ... I was wondering if anyone in the community have been able to convert / use the "Gatsby-source-airtable" plugin to connect to airtable using the new API auth method?This might be more a question for the Gatsby community, but giving it a try here first.*Anyone aware of a different plugin that I could use to achieve the same results of sourcing my airtable data into Gatsby?   Or have any insight if that plugin will be updated to support the new auth method?Thanks a lot 😎

Hello!I have an automation set up that when a record enters a view, a script is run to delete the record. Almost every time it runs it throws some failure notices and I get multiple notifications from Airtable. But, it seems to work though. All records are deleted from the view when it runs. Usually there are only 20ish records that enter the view at a single time. And if I watch the view the records will disappear usually in under 10 seconds. Yet, I still receive the failure notices.Here is the script.  //Identify the table you'd like to delete records from let table = base.getTable("🗹 Checklists"); console.log(table) //Identify the view you'd like to delete records from let view = table.getView("⚙️🅰️ Delete Records View"); console.log(view) //Select the records that you wish to delete let recordQuery = await view.selectRecordsAsync(); let recordsToDelete = recordQuery.records; console.log(recordQuery.recor

Hi all; I am currently in the process of designing an AirBNB-like booking system for a company that leases multiple rental units. I have designed an interface where potential tenants can review the units they can choose from, however I'm running into a snag when it comes to being able to allow them to select their desired move-in and move-out dates (interfaces won't allow for filtering by date fields, apparently) to result in showing them properties that would be available during those times. I have read about using scripting to make this happen but have not been able to develop a script/formula combination that works, and the company doesn't want the responsibility of having to approve booking requests based on a manual check of whether or not that unit is available. Does anyone have guidance on how I can accomplish this? At this point I don't even know where to start as far as experimenting or testing to see what the best option would be, and most of t

Quick one, I use date_add to calcuate a bunch of dates in different field. Now, I'm realising that even tho I use "Datetime_Format" airtable can't easily interpret those as dates if I want to sort by them or make timelines etc.Here is an example of a date formula I use.IF({Target 1st Harvest Date}=BLANK(),IF(  AND(    IS_AFTER({Target Sowing Date}, '10/01/2023'),     IS_BEFORE({Target Sowing Date}, '04/01/2024')    ),  (DATETIME_FORMAT((DATEADD({Target&n
