Base Design

Hi I have been trying to update my recipes into the food costing calculator. so far have done the ingredients list - but i have hit a problem. when i enter more than one recipe that has the same ingredient - eg an onion - it changes the ingredient amount in the ingredients list. that would be fine if i only used onion in one recipe - but it is in many recipes at different quantities. maybe i have not set the ingredients list up correctly? or may be i need to be able to have the recipe card multiply a single unit of the ingredient eg 1 gram or ml so that it works? any hints how to use this food calculator would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I’m looking to set up a base to keep track of value of some KPIs across multiple offices/locations over time. I would like to have office level indicators table project level indicators table (with multiple projects per office possible) ability to see at a glance the current (latest entered) values for each indicator ability to see how each indicator per office/project evolved over time I am currently achieving this by having a month column in the project table, which one record per office-month. The project level table references the calculated office-month field and has one record per project-office-month. Is there a cleaner, more efficient way of achieving this? Particularly useful would be some way of not requiring to enter all the data each month over again, but only update values that have changed.

I need to create a customer number that includes the year, and an accruing customer number. E.g. 2020-0001, 2020-0002, etc. The thing is, every year, the year has to change in the customer number, and the four numbers after it have to reset. So if the last number of 2020 is 2020-1234, the first number of 2021 will be 2021-0001 again. I can get the year from the Created Time field The problem is the numbers after the year… I figure I can’t use an autonumber because it won’t reset each year. I’m stuck on this part, and would appreciate any direction. Thanks!

I created a scheduling system in airtable where people can sign up for scheduled slots through a form. One table has the slots that are available, call this A. Another slot has the actual schedule where people can sign up for slots, call it B. When a person signs up for a slot, they pick their team which is referenced from another table, call it C. So, table A will link to a schedule entry B which will link to a team C. Is it possible to also link table A, the actual slots directly to the team C once the team has signed up?

I am trying to embed a table on my Wordpress site and have some questions Is it possible to remove the “download csv option”? I don’t want users to be able to download the entire table but I want them to be able to copy and paste information from that table. I have a column of images but it’s just showing a link to that image, I want the actual image to show in the table. Is this possible?

Hi, I have 2 tables connected. Table A : Sales of the day Table B : All my services/products Basically, when a new customer purchase something, I go on Table A, go on the column “product”, and as it’s connected to the list of all my services in Table B, I just select what the customer has purchased. My issue is I can’t select 2 times the same product. If I have added one of my products on Table A, and I want to add it again for the same customer, the product is not on the list anymore. Is there a way to be able to select several times the same product ? Thanks, Sébastien

Hello! I would like to use Airtable to keep track of our counter drink sales we have in a cooler. It is not really part of our main business so I want to track it differently. I would prefer using Airtable over Excel. What would you suggest to keep track of the small inventory, cost, list and profit? Will it even calculate profit? Thanks! I’m excel proficient but database dumb but I much prefer to use this. (I use it for our equipment inventory) I have tried using the inventory template but there doesn’t seem to be a way to make a purchase order with multiple products. The template appears to show only one product per purchase order. In my case, we only order through one manufacturer and different products.

Hello, I am trying to show the summary of years members have participated in a non-profit. There are five fields: Name, Active (checkbox), Date Joined, Date Left, Years of Membership The table has both active and inactive members. I am using the time diff formula, however, for the members that are still active, the Date Left category returns NaN value. Is there a way of calculating a Years of Membership for both active and inactive members in the same column? Thank you!

Let’s say I have created an “entity” in Airtable called “Status2”: Lightshot Screenshot Captured with Lightshot Merely by using the built-in popup prompts in these cells, I have created various “attributes” for this “entity”: Lightshot Screenshot Captured with Lightshot THE QUESTION IS - How do I now “create a new table” and make this “entity” the primary entity that the table is based on? (Each “attribute” should be listed in the far left column with each new “attribute” occupying a new “row” here): Lightshot Screenshot Captured with Lightshot It seems there is no way to do this. Which is very frustrating.

I have an airtable base for a volunteer organization, which is organized into project areas (Social Media Posts, Newsletters, Articles). I am trying to create a ‘collaborator summary’ table where I can quickly see what assignments those collaborators have from other tables. Is this possible? For example, if I am assigned to write 2 Social media posts, I want to see the title of those posts in my ‘summary’ table. I also want to see which Newsletters I am assigned to, so maybe that needs to be a different field in the summary table.

Hey there! I’m working to build a base for the following use case (similar to a sales pipeline CRM): I have a list of Vendors, who each have multiple Documents they must fill out / complete in order to move from Phase 1 to Phase 2. While the list of documents to be completed is the same for all vendors, the responses within those documents/forms will be unique. I want to track completion rate of the unique documents for each vendor, and once all documents are completed, have the ability to move them into Phase 2. (Phase 2 will have a different list of documents necessary to be completed before graduating to Phase 3). For instance, I want to show that Miller Manufacturing has 60% of all documents completed, while Rachael LLC might only have 20%. I’d like for there to be a view to show the details for where each Vendor is in the process, while also being able to drill down and see each document completed for each vendor. Ex Vendors: Miller Manufacturing, Rachael LLC., Bosch Ex Documents

Hi, I am getting my table data from Jotforms with an integration. This is working well. I want to then customise my table further and add lots of extra fields in Airtable for workflow, but I kind of want to keep the original import data structure intact and simple. My solution to this is to create a second table which has all the data from the import table linked plus all my extra goodies. I am aware that I can achieve this by creating a new table and manually linking all the fields from the import table, but I wondered if there was a simple solution to creating a complete linked table duplicate in one click? Am I just being lazy? I could have probably done it manually in the time it took to write this but I hate doing stuff the hard way if there is something I am missing. Thanks Pete

Hi! I am new to Airtable. I am currently setting up an Airtable spreadsheet and one field (column) has a date. Is there any way possible to make the column next to it show what date it will be 2 weeks later? Regards, Sam

I want to use airtable to collect applications from people for a program. One of the questions is asking for the applicants teammates (which could be any number) and for each teammates I want to ask for email, location, role, affiliation, etc etc basically a lot of different qualities. Screendoor has a way to do this using table inputs, but anyone know of a way to do this in airtable?

I pull a .CSV report each day from a third party software that shows me all unpaid balances for reservations checking in in the next 60 days. I move these into airtable in order to sort with different views, add notes, etc. Most records will end up being the same, but I still pull it every day in case new reservations were created or old reservations have new declined payments that were scheduled. I don’t want to have to go through hundreds of duplicate records each day to keep the original ones with my notes, etc. Is there a way to just add new records to the table and ignore the import of any duplicate reservation numbers?

I’m trying to create a programming quiz, and wanted to be able to add a syntax highlighted code snippet to some of the questions. I could add the content in description, but it would have no syntax highlighting. Is there a way?

I am working on an audition list for my band students. I have multiple fields that I am giving students a “score” for and would like to give them a rank based on how they scored on multiple fields. I am struggling because some scores are based on 100, with 100 being the best, and some are just a total of things completed (ie. student attended 3 extra meetings). I would like a way to rank students automatically as I enter new scores for audition material. I can get a new average automatically, that’s not a problem. However, I can’t seem to figure out how to get an automatic ranking of students. This is especially problematic as I will be ranking students that play different instruments separately. (there will be a rank of 1 for Flute and Clarinet, not just a top rank total.) Though a ranking of the entire group that updates automatically would be better than no ranking at all. Any ideas?

I am trying to implement a basic CRM database for a small sales team (contacts table + interactions table). They ask me: “hey I have a follow up today but I want to push it off. How do I do that?” I say: “Open the contacts grid view, search for the contact, look at the “Interactions” field, open the most recent interaction record, and modify it using the record inspection pop-up window.” That’s a lot. Their eyes glaze over. Is there an easier way? A form? A script?

Hi, I am beginner with Airtable and am trying to build an online database to house my Plex films initially then hoping to expand it to include TV Shows. I can generate the records on my iMac but when I use create, it seems I only get about 1 in 6 showing in my online AirTable. It is suspicious to me that I always get 40 out of 252 into Airtable, is that because I am using the free verison? What am I doing wrong? I love the concept but need all my records!! Cheers I have sorted myself out until my next hiccough .
