I’m attempting to use the Rollup feature for the first time, and it isn’t working as expected. I have a very simple design – A campaign table that will display rolled-up data from an Invoice table.


Campaign Table:


Here are the settings for one of my Rollup fields:


Invoice Table:


I want the rows of the Invoice table to aggregate based on Campaign ID/Record ID.


Unfortunately, you can see that it is only linking one of the invoice rows – not both of the qualifying Campaign IDs.


What am I doing wrong?

A rollup field will not link records for you. You must link the records yourself. The rollup bases its calculations on only existing linked records.

I did create the link



So why isn’t it linking all of the invoices for “abc” to this record?


Why is it only linking to one of the records?



What do I need to do differently?

When you create a linked record, you create a link to a specific record in the other table, not to all records with a similar value. Thus, you linked to one specific “abc” record, not to all records with “abc” in the {Campaign ID} field.


If you want to link to all records with “abc” in the {Campaign ID} field, you must link them all individually. You can create the links from either table.


This is one way that Airtable is very different from other relational databases.
