I have a base with a table that calculates commissions for employees based on the type of revenue is generated (e.g. Service Revenue, Sales Revenue, etc.). Each revenue type includes a specific commission rate. The Revenue Type field is a single select field. I have created a view that shows information for each revenue record. One of my colleagues is a collaborator for this base. I have created a Revenue Commissions view and created a share link and sent it to my colleague, whose job it is to select the correct Revenue Type for each revenue record. He can open up the view, but when he tries to make a Revenue Type selection nothing happens. When he places the cursor in the Revenue Type field, no drop-down arrow (or + sign) appears. In fact, he has tried to actually type an entry in this field and the field will not accept any input.In the Field Manager I have chosen "Specific Users" to define who can update values in the Revenue Type field and selected

Since today, our Airtable base has become extremely slow and is always being delayed by the attached message. We haven’t really changed much from yesterday/last week. It seems like Airtable has changed their loading behavior of views. It’s true, our base is large but it hasn’t changed much in size recently. Still, Airtable is hitting us with this kind of throttling. Anyone else experiencing it? Temporary issue?

Hi! How many tables can a base store? over 100?Is there any way to sync tables within a base?I have 6-7 tables in a base that stores task templates (based on accounts that get managed by various people). Originally I synced them to another base but changed each tab to specific accounts we manage. Since there is a 10 sync limit, I am trying to find a work around.Is there any way to have a template of tasks in a base and sync this to 30+ accounts other tables within the same base for task manage. I ask because, I am thinking that if a change needs to be made to the task manager, it would be quite labor intensive to change each accounts task list. it would be nice to change the template and have this apply to all of the tables the template is synced to - one swoopfor context: we have 90+ accounts we manage (schools). Tasks vary based on school system but are generally the same for all school systems. Staff manage multiple accounts across a variety of sc

Hi there, I'm trying to create a script that takes data from Airtable and updates it into Memberstack JSON. I went this scripting route because I couldn't figure out a no-code alternative to this. The problem is I'm not getting any errors messages with my console logs and I don't know where to start on debugging what's wrong. Here is my setup: const MEMBERSTACK_API_KEY = 'API KEY HERE'; const AIRTABLE_API_TOKEN = 'API KEY HERE'; const AIRTABLE_BASE_ID = 'appFifDmh7qLKggjt'; const AIRTABLE_TABLE_ID = 'tblH65jLDy3WXddUQ'; const AIRTABLE_VIEW_ID = 'viwOTOaTHeGogrF5h'; // Function to update Memberstack user profiles async function updateMemberstackProfiles() { try { // Fetch records from Airtable const airtableUrl = `https://api.airtable.com/v0/${AIRTABLE_BASE_ID}/${AIRTABLE_TABLE_ID}?view=${AIRTABLE_VIEW_ID}`; const airtableHeaders = { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${AIRTABLE_API_TOKEN}

Can I assume that the order of the record IDs returned by table.createRecordsAsync does match the order of the records to create in the function argument?

I absolutely hate not being able to see the column title name unless i want to make the column width 2084985 feet. While it seems simple in nature, this is why i prefer Smartsheet. I want to be able to have columns sized appropriately with legible column headers and not have to scroll over to view.

Hi all! In one of my bases quotation marks are added to some of my IDs that are generated through a formula (someone explained to me that it because my titles contain a comma, but I need to keep it).I would like to remove those quotation marks. I've read and tried a lot of things, but it is not working. Here is my formula : IF({Nom pour identificateur}, {Nom pour identificateur}, Type) & " " & IF({Début}, {Début pour identificateur}) & " " & Projet I also add a screenshot of my base. Thank you very much for the help!

Good day!I have an issue with an automation that SHOULD populate a table from the above data. The records that don't have the little green star should still be used for the automation to populate this table:The first table has 6 records that aren't being populated and should, into the second image.The image doesn't show the trigger being on, but I checked one later for the test, and it still is giving the invalid input. Not sure what is incorrect. Any pointers?   

I'm trying to create an extension which makes an external API POST call.First I tried to make a simple fetch call, but it is failing due to CORS policy:const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: JSON.stringify({key: 'value'}) });But then in Block source I have found method unstable_fetchAsync(requestJson).const requestJson = { method: 'POST', url: 'https://api.example.com/data', headers: [ ["Content-Type", "application/json"] ], body: btoa(JSON.stringify({key: 'value'})), redirect: 'manual', integrity: null } await unstable_fetchAsync(requestJson);It's working as expected, but the name is suspicious. Also, this method is not documented anywhere. I'm afraid that after creating the extension, I will not be able to submit it for public usage.

Hello everyone,I hope that you can help me with my problem.I tried to export a table in CSV, modify a column and then import it back to the same table with the updated column.However, all the columns that were hosting a link with another table are gone and I need to put them back one by one.Is it possible to import an excel or CSV file in Airtable that was originally from Airtable and has been slightly modified while keeping the links with other tables once imported? Thanks in advance!

I have an Airtable account and so does my client. When they invited me to collaborate on their account it led me into my own account. I can see the collaborators in that company here and can talk to them but now I don't know if what I am creating is in their account or mine. I also want to know if there is a way to toggle between accounts so I can be clear about where I am. 

I have an Automation that is triggered by the appearance (in a new form-generated record in Table-A, {T.A-Rec.1} ) as having a non-empty value in a field {T.A- Field.1’}.  This {T.A- Field.1} is a link to a record in Table-B.Record {T.A-Rec.1} ALSO has a link field {T.A-Field.2} containing a link, {Ref.C.Link}, to a record in Table C.I wish to update a record in Table C, the record referenced by {Ref.C.Link}.  The field in the referenced Table-C record that I want to update is {T.C-Field.3}, also a link field to Table-B.  The value that I want to put into the {T.C-Field.3} in the referenced Table-C record is that of {T.A- Field.1’}, the link to that same record in Table-B.In my Automation so far, I seem to get the trigger to work OK.   But when I try to configure an 'Update Record' Action to update the {T.C-Field.

 I am in search of an AirTable data expert who can help me calculate percentage increases over each month from different records. I have a social media agency and use AirTable to store all our monthly analytics numbers and would like to determine percentage changes. I am in the midst of taking these numbers into my table and using the interface feature to create graphs to see it in a more user-friendly way. Please see here for a shared view of the table - https://airtable.com/appgifDfNJk8ia1a7/shrZ2KkZk6aMWcgGj Any and all help is appreciated.

How do I automatically mirror data from one table to another in the same baseIn excel it's an = formula Essentially I have 1 table where I am asking managers to add their Initiatives and I want everything added to that table to automatically be copied over to another table in the same base where I will run calculations and extra stuff that I do not want my managers to be confused by.

Hello,I am trying to make an API call on Zapier and i am getting below error. I am unable to debug this error. When i test on Postman, it works absolutely fine.   

I want to create space in between weeks of records so that it's easier for the client and me to view. Attached is a photo how it's currently set up, but I noticed when I skip a record, it still documents it as "blank." So when I group it by week, those blank records are kept together, but I don't want them to be shown at all--if that makes sense. Please help. 

Hey! I am trying to calculate the percent change between two numbers in the same column, just different rows. If I were doing it in Excel, it would be =(B9-B3)/B3 but I can’t seem to find the way to make this formula work in Airtable. Is it possible? These are the two rows that I am trying to calculate for: Hopefully someone knows how to help! Thank you!

We're trying to increase adoption of using our interfaces to update project status - it would be great if we could have our status field anchored in the interface header and be editable!Even having it in the first section isn't working for the team - they need it in their face 🙂

I would like to have a number field that increments by one whenever the “most recent sale” date field is edited so we can sort products by the number of sales. How do I make an automation that does cellA+1 when another cellB is updated? edit: If anyone knows of a way to do this without a third field, I’d be obliged.

Hello All,I'm trying to create a formula that will create a comma-separated list of headers from checked checkboxes.As you can see below when I check one of these boxes I would like it to automatically populate the Achievement Rollup Field with the heading of that field and any others I check. 

What formula would I use to combine these two fields and get this result?Desired result - "3.69% | Increase"I tried this formula and the result is in % STATUS off…CONCATENATE({01% DIFF OFFICE}&' |'&{CHANGE TYPE})

After figuring out how to get the URL for individual sidesheets, and attaching that URL to a button and using the 'Open URL in record' action, the correct sidesheet is opened, but only after refreshing the page.I realize this is something of a hack to get sidesheets that aren't on the page to open, but has anyone had any luck preventing the page from refreshing, but rather just open the requested sidesheet as usual?Open url in new tab is unchecked. 

Hello. I am trying to create an automation or a script that updates a cell in a given table based on a unique identifier that can be matched to a unique identifier in another table. In my mind, I'm basically wanting to do a left join, except that I want to populate missing values in a column instead of just bringing the whole column in. So, more of a if x is null, x = value from column in another table mapped by a lookup value/unique ID.More detail about table structure:Table A: File NamesColumn A- Name [short text- is essentially file names, as in ThisDocumentName.docx]. Is populated through a Link to another record column from another table.Column B- Google Drive Link, missing some values [URL]Column C- Unique ID [short text- is essentially a cleaned version of Column A]Table B: Google Drive LinksColumn A- Name [short text- is essentially file names, as in ThisDocumentName.docx]Column B- Google Drive Links, complete [URL]

Hello the Airtable Community! I’m working on a series of Airtable interfaces to handle different aspects of projects. It’s a kind of top-down structure, with interfaces drilling down into linked records e.g. clients > projects > invoices. The typical interfaces structure looks like this: Client A (Interface I) – Project A (Interface II) — Invoice A (Interface III) Client B (Interface I) – Project B (Interface II) — Invoice B (Interface III) To navigate between interfaces in the same client / project context, I’m using record pickers. At the moment, I manually pick the relevant record with the record picker and copy the URL parameters generated by Airtable back to my Airtable base. With such hardcoded URL parameters, I can repeatedly achieve the navigation flow that I’m eventually aiming for. Is there a way to do this “properly” dynamic, with a native Airtable function (such as RECO

Hello! I'm trying to write a script that I can run to populate a field in one table with a value that lives in another table. There are key values in both tables that match. I have worked in SAS and a little in Python for data analysis, but I am new to Javascript. I am thinking of Javascript as adding the element of time to scripting ("wait to do this-- I'll tell you more about it later!")A simplification of what I have:Table1FieldA- unique record ID- stringFieldB- column to receive info from Table 2- stringTable2Field1- unique record ID, matches Table1.FieldA-stringField2- column to populate Table1.FieldB - currently is 'link' field type but could be string if neededI tried to this via automation but it's not working. My guess is the long strings used as the lookup values are causing the problem, but I really don't know why it's not working, it's very hard to troubleshoot that any further.I'm pretty
