For those of you needing to perform a Standard Deviation calc (STDEV() in Excel), here’s a template you can use for performing this calculation with values across a single row (record): SQRT( SUM( POWER({Value 1 Field} - {Avg of Values Field}, 2), POWER({Value 2 Field} - {Avg of Values Field}, 2), POWER({Value 3 Field} - {Avg of Values Field}, 2), ... ) / (n - 1) ) Where n = the number of fields SUM’d, ie, the number of POWER() statements. You do have to manually enter each field that holds a value which you want factored in to the StDev calculation, and you have to have a field that calculates the averages of those values, so this will not work well for a dynamic data set (new values are constantly being added to the list of values needing to be included in the calculation). I use it quite frequently in calibration specs, however, so I figured I’d post it here as a quick and easy reference for other people who were used to using the STDEV() function in Excel, bu

The inspiration for this script was the many posts that I saw where people wanted to setup default values when they create new records. In that way, it is similar to one of the scripts that has already been shared. However, I believe that there is no one right way of doing things, and I had ideas for a different workflow. This script fills in blank cells in a table based on a template record. It also requires no configuration of the script, and no changes to the existing table/field definitions. This script has the ability to make bulk updates to a lot of records very quickly, and it has several quirks and limitations. I only received access to the Scripting block when it was made public on Friday, so I didn’t have much time to get up to speed. I have many improvements in the works, but they will all take time to implement, and I need to sleep. Here is the base on the Airtable universe. Here is the gist. Here is a link to the walkthrough.

I’ve gotten Car fever and want to start doing research on used cars that fit my price range. I tried some of the consumer sites, but was really left wishing I had a place to look at all my research at once and compare things like average price and milage for a specific Make, Model, and Year. So I hooked Airtable up to the MarketCheck API via the scripting block and made a base that pulls in all available car listings within 50 miles of me within my specified Price and Mileage range. Then, made use of Page Designer and URL preview block. It’s pretty dank if I do say so myself. :star: :star: :star: :star: Overview of How it Works Here Copy of the Base Here Have fun y’all😃.

I have a table with records belonging to various contacts. As an example, I have five records for contact A. These records are tracking numbers of shipments that we need to air freight to Contact A. I would like to email all 5 records in a Typeform link, so that contact A can select the shipments he would like us to ship and also provide delivery address information. Suppose he selects 3 out of the 5, the 3 should be added to an existing table, from which we will process the shipment. Is it possible to set up such a workflow?

Hi, been trying out Airtable for a few weeks and believe it may be a helpful project tracking/database tool for my firm. I run a structural engineering firm in the San Francisco Bay Area with about 20 employees. We initiate about 150 projects per year of varying size. Each project has statuses, phases, timetables, milestones, budgets, unique attributes (e.g. address, type, location, material use, etc) , a client, multiple outside contacts (architect, contractor, soils engineer, etc), and often multiple assigned internal team members (collaborators in Airtable parlance). I want to create a solution that 1) records each project, its attributes and contacts, 2) tracks projects status, phases, schedules and milestones, 3) provides a weekly workload planning dashboard for each staff member (based upon to-do project tasks), 4) provides staff timesheets, and 5) tracks project budgets. I am looking for a consultant to 1) advise as to the appropriateness of Airtable as a tool, and 2) if Airtabl

Hi, I’m new to airtable and I’m sure this is the best possible solution for tracking projects if done correctly. I have tried watching many videos to figure out how to build the base that can help me monitor the progress but it’s all to vain. We are a video production company and work with freelancers. I need help from someone to help me build the base of possible. Below is the typical scenario - There should be 3 different tabs to get overview in a glance namely Current Projects, Tasks and Clients. Projects have milestones on which different collaborators work. Milestones are - Script, Voice-Over, Styles, Storyboard and Motion Design and there can be multiple milestones assigned to a particular collaborator. Current Projects is the main tab where fields are - project name, start date, end date, current milestone, collaborator name, milestone start date, milestone end date and status. Once the status is changed from ongoing to completed, the project should hide from the table. The entr

Have a look at the base here. We are a growing movement of volunteers who have been mobilized due to the current crisis to help the most vulnerable among us - the elderly, the refugees, the domestic abuse survivors, sex workers, single mothers, and others who are not getting their basic needs met. Who’s it relevant for? Mutual aid organizations and non-profits - tweak this base to suit your needs. Our process: We built an operations management system using Airtable. It works as a support ticketing system. Get the general idea by looking at this very high-level flowchart which also appears in the dashboards. We provide support in 4 ways: :phone: Matching people in need with phone volunteers that talk to them every week and check if they need anything :woman_cook: Matching with cooks to provide hot meals :shopping_cart: Sending food baskets :bulb: Helping with general requests - from clothing to fixing stuff at home Base features: Volunteers and people in need manageme

Hey All– I’m looking to build out some accounting templates to track AP/AR (accounts payable/receivable) by project. Are there any experts out there that want to make a few bucks and do a 1-hr ish zoom call and help me build out a few templates? Best, Ryan

I have two tables that have information that is needed to create formulas to auto calculate gaps. For example, I have one table set up grouped by Month and Coach and has columns that are in currency format. They have revenue amounts and other count numbers. I have another table that is created to calculate the gap between the numbers in the first table and the newly entered numbers from Coach inputs in a form within that second table. So somehow I need to get the information that is sorted by Month and Coach into the second table to create formulas to calculate with the new information that will come from the form. Thank you in advance!

Hello, We’re an exercise service that launches new workouts daily. We’re using airtable to track our daily content production and would like to add a page for content programming - tracking number of plays of music, playlist selection, name of instructor, shoot days etc. We have it basically mapped out and working in google sheets but it’s a lot of duplicate info that’s already in airtable, so we’d like to integrate this into our main airtable. Is this something you can help with? If so, can you give me an estimate or hourly rate? We have the capabilities in house to handle this but don’t have the bandwidth. Thanks, Sam

Will like to talk to someone who knows both smartsheet and airtable tools, strengths/weaknesses so that i can make appropriate decision and potentially help with upgrading/transitioning to one of the platform. Will like to discuss project management capabilities like Gantt, dependency, scheduling, resource management etc.

Hello, I am currently in the process of moving our tutoring center away from spreadsheets. The first endeavor is setting up our contacts in Airtable. Right now I have student information in one table and parent information in another table and am attempting to link them together. The problem is that many parents and students from different families share the same first and last names. I have ID numbers that both the parents and the students share so linking them together should be easier, but I am having trouble creating a one-to-many link so that one family entry can be linked to multiple students from the student information table. I may also look for some assistance expanding our record-keeping in Airtable. Currently most of our student data is in various spreadsheets and I am hoping to consolidate that in Airtable. Thanks very much. – Jason

When using a form, you can pre-fill linked fields in forms by using the Record ID for the record you want into a single line text field instead of the actual name, then use Zapier, IFTTT, or (my personal favorite) Integromat to update the linked field with that record ID. I realize it’s cumbersome, but you just have to have it, it works. I do this for several of my forms.

Resolved: Please close thread – thank you!

We would like to be able to see the capacity of teams at any given time based on current workload and future projections. I don’t want to be too prescriptive, but we have data at two periods within the lifecycle of a projects. In the beginning we have forecasted estimates of how long it will take and known future capacity - we would like to see if we need to hire for future time frame Once a project gets into scheduling - we have a decent view of capacity, but it would be great to do some rollup and reporting of that data.

Hi! I am building a digital bullet journal for my personal use and would like to hire a coach/consultant that could help me. I saw templates but I would like to have some tailored/complex features and I tried to do them myself but it takes a lot of time to even understand the right question/point of view, so I would be grateful if someone could coach me through it and potentially also delegate full parts of it and save a lot of time. Is someone interested? Thanks, and looking forward, Have a nice day, Giulia

Hoping to get some insight into how to build an airtable base. Context: Our business development department is collecting information internally on prospective vendors. They’ll then input the information into airtable with the expectation that all documentation can be outputted into 1 seamless “packet” of information taking all documentation from airtable. Here are the requirements of the base: 100+ vendors 3 Phases of document / conversation completion. (Ex: In Phase 1, we must collect the Brand Analysis document, and have a “Top to Top” conversation. Each Brand Analysis document and Top to Top conversation will be the same, but the responses will be unique for each vendor. There is a chance that the Brand Analysis document (for example) may live in Airtable, or may be an excel document. My fear is that if the information is standardized (even captured in a form) it’ll mean we must have a table for each conversation/document (brand analysis, top to top, etc.) Approval by management (
