Concept:  I have 3 columns  i  have a multi-select field of Job Types as followsAerial Display - Water / BargeAerial Display - LandClose ProximityI have a total invoice column in $ (approved spend)I have a formula column with the current formula "IF({Job Type}="Aerial Display - Water / Barge", ({ApprovedSpend}-2000)*.27, {ApprovedSpend}*.27)I have run into the issue that when the column 1 (job type) has more then just "aerial Display water/barge" selected it ignores the first, part of the formula. so I'd rather it be something along the lines of IFCONTAIN?  

Hi, I’m trying to find a way of calculating the difference between two values within the same field but in different records within the same table as per the image below. I have read many similar questions and answers but they always appear to be over complicated, although most have been from a few years ago. I am hoping therefore, Airtable might have introduce a simple way of carrying out this calculation and hope someone might be able to point me in the right direction.Just to clarify what I’m trying to achieve, I am tracking the weight (plus lots of other info) of our new puppy and want the ‘difference’ field to calculate the difference between his current weight versus his previous weight.

I'm working with a Kanban view where we drag action items into Today/Tomorrow (single select) options. I'm currently assigning dates manually, but I'd like to automate this - so that when someone drags an item into the "today" pile, it automatically gets today's date. I don't think it should be a formula (because that would automatically change dates on items that have been done in the past), but I can't find a way to automatically assign a date dynamically (today's date) with an automation. (but there must be a way, right?)

The timelines in airtable are not overly functional for what I need. I need to view up to 50 timelines on the same screen, each with multiple records. As you can see, I am only able to view a few things at once.Partially there is a base design issue here, but for other reasons I don't really want to redesign the whole base to make viewing easier.So the UI doesn't quite work for me here. I need something that can condense the vertical height these take. E.g. thinner lines, or being able to overlap them, or being able to "summarise" the total time frames on the sub-grouping.Does anyone have any suggestions for a better app that plays with airtable?  

As I've searched the Community, big shout out to folks who have shared formulas which convert dates to quarters and fiscal years. I'm currently using the formula below, and I'm trying to find a way to blank out cells which have no date. Any suggestions/help much appreciated!IF(AND(MONTH({Invoice Date}) >= 1, MONTH({Invoice Date}) <= 3),"Q1",IF(AND(MONTH({Invoice Date}) >= 4, MONTH({Invoice Date}) <= 6),"Q2",IF(AND(MONTH({Invoice Date}) >= 7, MONTH({Invoice Date}) <= 9),"Q3",IF(AND(MONTH({Invoice Date}) >= 10, MONTH({Invoice Date}) <= 12),"Q4"))))& " FY '" & RIGHT(YEAR({Invoice Date}) & "", 2)

I have created a script to delete  a record but it is giving me an error. Here is the code: console.log(`Hello, ${"300 Replens"}!`);let table = base.getTable("300 Replens")await table.deleteRecordAsync(input.config()['reckUma1c1NLjQADd']); Here is the log:CONSOLE.LOG"Hello, 300 Replens!"ERRORTypeError: Invalid arguments passed to table.deleteRecordAsync(recordOrRecordId): • recordOrRecordId → recordOrRecordId should be a Record, not undefined or recordOrRecordId should be a string, not undefined at main on line 4I got the record id after expanding a record and copying it from the google search bar. Why is the log saying undefined?Thank you

Our Attachments field ("Images") contains sometimes five or six images. Is there a formula I can use to copy just, for example, the first or first & second images only?THANKS!

Is there any way to give base user permissions to access only selected tables in a base, not the the whole base?

Previously, the table was shared and synced, but troubleshooting was done after disabling it.  Once I delete records, it re-generates deleted records back within a few minutes (less than 2 minutes), just like the undoing delete operation. Any ideas about possible scenarios? No automation is relevant to the table.

Hi everybody!I'm trying to modify the formula below so that the empty lines don't show up and don't make a line break with empty lines.For each of the 18 lines I have {FormatX EANX Concatenated} from an other field where {FormatX EANX Concatenated} can be empty or not.If the {FormatX EANX Concatenated} is empty, I don't want an empty line.  {Format1 EAN1 Concatenated} & "\n" & {Format2 EAN2 Concatenated} & "\n" & {Format3 EAN3 Concatenated} & "\n" & {Format4 EAN4 Concatenated} & "\n" & {Format5 EAN5 Concatenated} & "\n" & {Format6 EAN6 Concatenated} & "\n" & {Format7 EAN7 Concatenated} & "\n" & {Format8 EAN8 Concatenated} & "\n" & {Format9 EAN9 Concatenated} & "\n" & {Format10 EAN10 Concatenated} & "\n" & {Format11 EAN11 Concatenated} & "\n" & {Format12 EAN12 Concatenated} & "\n" & {Format13 EAN13 Concatenated} & "\n" & {Format14 EAN14 Concatenated} & "\n" &am

Hello there! I work with an organization that produces a 50-concert summer festival. We have about 120 Season Pass Holders, about half of whom show up to any given concert. We would like to check them in at each concert and track their overall attendance.Each person receives a physical Season Pass (a 3x5 laminate) that they bring to the concert, so my hope was to include a unique QR code on each pass that corresponds to a unique ID for each pass holder. Then our Front of House staff could scan that QR code via the Airtable app on their phone, and it would create a record of them having checked in for that concert.One thought is that each concert could be its own view, and then any check-ins within that view could be clearly reconciled. Maybe that check-in could just be a timestamp, or it could be that when the staff scans their QR, it gives them an option to toggle a "check-in" switch.Open to any all suggestions, and grateful for your help!

I would like to set a checkbox to checked based on if another field has a number in it. Here is the Function I have in a Field called CheckChain. IF({Chain Amount} = BLANK(), Chain = 0,Chain = 1) The field Chain is a checkbox, and the field Chain Amount is how many times tire chains are applied. I am using this as a check to be sure the Chain checkbox is checked, if someone forgot to check it and entered an amount.

Hi, I have multiple Image attachments in airtable I want to show only 1st image in the pic#1 column is that possible i try few solution/formula it showing image URL ? any quick solution? 

Hi, I have a Make scenario setup, but it is not pulling through any data to Airtable. The Make scenario is attached and is very simple; it Watches for items in Podio and then Creates Records in Airtable. I have set up the link between accounts a few times to double-check that everything is working. I've continued to run the scenario, and it comes back with no errors or warnings, but when I refresh the Airtable page, no data is being pulled through. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am using a formula field and selected decimal format, but it doesn't return with a thousand comma separator. Does anyone have a workaround?

Hi All,I am having an issue with my script:When using an integer value in the condition, the script works.Example: return all records that have a value higher than 9 in the field name "Bedroom": const propertyTable = base.getTable("Listing"); // Read the data from my Listing table const recordsFromproPertyTable = await propertyTable.selectRecordsAsync (); //Filter records matching a condition const matches = recordsFromproPertyTable.records.filter((records)=>{ return recordsFromproPertyTable.records.find((potentialmatch)=> { return records.getCellValue("Bedroom") > 9; } ) }) console.log(matches) When trying to match the field value with a single select or multiple select field, I am getting the following error:This condition will always return 'true' since the types  and 'string' have no overlap."I am pretty sure this is due to the fact that I am comparing an Array with text but I am not sure how to solve this:Return all records tha

I have two automations in question.  The last time they both ran successfully was September 26, 2023 at 4:43pm CDT, and now neither work as of today.I'm not sure if its some strange permissions thing or an internal limit? Or was there some sort of update that may have nullified some function that I was using?Both Automations concern making records, both revolve around the same main trigger (one actually waits to verify the first record is made before the second record is made).The first record automation just does not want to run it seems. as per the screen shot, it was working 2 days ago with no issues.When testing, first it said it lacked permissions, so I changed the receiving table's permissions to open.  Then it said it couldn't enter information into certain fields because it was a computed field (the table it would be making the record to, those fields aren't computer).  I found work arounds just in case, but now suddenly it seems to be working with both - the fie

Hello, We are struggling to extract the first image of a column called "photos" then re-upload it in another column. We tried to do it by having a formula to extract the first attachment url (which is working) : (IF(BLANK(photos), "", MID(photos, FIND("(", photos) + 1, (FIND(")", photos) - 1) - (FIND("(", photos)))) Then, using the following automation to upload it in our target column "1st_photo" :=> WHEN a record match conditions "photos" isn't empty THEN update the column "1st_photo" using the url from the formula column as input. However, this automation isn't workingI guess the issue come from the attachment url. Do you have any idea to handle it ? Does it require a script ? Thank you very much ! 

Is it possible to create an Automation so an email send 2 days after record updated?

We're a real estate company looking to have Airtable Automations help us get client feedback on properties we present. Ideally, the process would look as follows: We add properties to an airtable base Once status is changed to "pending client feedback", an automated email sends the property information to the client. I'd love for that email to be able to solicit client feedback via button/checkbox/text field, for instance client received 123 Main St and did't like it they could have the option to "reject" (via button or form?) which would update the record in AirtableIf they liked the property, opt to "like" or "shortlist" the property which would update the record and trigger additional notifications to our team that the client wants to tour this site. 

I've seen great docs and help for this for MS Excel on Windows.. but MS has not released the Power Query Editor for Excel on Mac.  Has anyone successfully done this, using any hack or workaround? TIAGary Wong

I'm looking to create a form with fields for a project lead like name, title, affiliation, and email. What's the best way to allow for multiple project leads? Ideally, a user could click a checkbox to 'Add Additional Project Lead'. There's no limit on the number of leads. Any advice on using repeating fields for this? Basically, trying to determine if I can somehow not have to replicate each field an ungodly amount of times with a checkbox between each conditionally showing the next bunch of project lead fields conditionally based on the particular checkbox (nightmare).
