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!
Looking to convert this excel spreadsheet into an airtable so it can be easily managed and embedded into a website. Dropbox Golf League Standings.xlsx Shared with Dropbox I would like to easily be able to add matches and have everything update automatically.
For anyone interested in Airtable scripting, I’ve added a few new posts to my blog: 3 ways to loop Getting the unique values for a field Creating a record Creating many records Enjoy!
To All The Volunteers: I would like to give a shoutout and a thank you to all the volunteers that go above and beyond, to help the Airtable members. Even with your busy lives, you still manage to find time to help. I, for one, am grateful for the many times that I received such great help. Thank you, Mary Kay

Hello, Im looking for someone show me how I can stack rollups from multiple tables into 1 summary table. Would like to be able to do this myself… but will be happy to pay for the tutorial For example (this is abbreviated) Table 1 … Has a rows for every day. Column 1… is Unique Page Views… Column 2 is Leads that came from the page views… Column 3 is a formula that calculates the conversion rate Table 2 & 3… Same thing I’d to create a table that has a row that summaries the sums of the values of each table … with each ROW being a table So Table 1 - Total Page Views In April , Total Opt-ins In April (The Conversion Rate would be a formula ) Table 2 - Total Page Views In April , Total Opt-ins In April (The Conversion Rate would be a formula ) Table 3 - Total Page Views In April , Total Opt-ins In April (The Conversion Rate would be a formula ) Let me know if you can help or have any questions

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 (
Hi all, Been using Airtable since 2018 and keep discovering awesome things everyday. One of my other ventures is building apps with no code web database tools. One of the new Airtable tools I found recently is a service called table2site (posted here before) which allows you to build websites using Airtable as your CMS. I built a site called NoCodeStudio and I’m really happy with how it turned out. Right now it’s focused mainly on Knack and Tadabase, and web design tools, but I’m planning to add Airtable resources as well. I’ll just stick this here to get it out of the way… NoCodeStudio is a community oriented collection of resources, tools, tutorials, builders, and more - specifically for no-code web database apps like Knack and Tadabase. Visitors can also submit new resources via an Airtable form. Thanks for checking it out - https://nocodestud.io And don’t forget to look at https://table2site.com No affiliations with table2site, just sharing.
I’m looking at learning more about Airtable and using it for my small business. This platform seems promising however a sales rep from another company (Quick Base) had pointed out the following limitations of Airtable. Airtable Limitations (according to a Quick Base rep) Limited Data Set Support: Airtable has a data limit of 50,000 records (rows) that organizations can quickly outgrow. Basic User Permissions Means Weak Data Security: Airtable has a basic user permissions security model that allows anyone invited to a workspace to view all of the info in that workspace. In addition, anyone needing to add or modify records requires Editor access which includes the ability to change and delete tables and views that may be needed by other users Lack of Reporting: Airtable lacks the ability to create reports that can be shared with management and others. Viewing tables with records grouped together provides very limited data summaries in the workspace. Are these statement accurate ab
I’ve seen a few posts in recent weeks from people asking about how to get started with Airtable scripts (e.g. here and here). I think people are, rightly, seeing the scripting block as a powerful piece of functionality and for non-coders it can be a struggle to know where to start (I know from bitter experience!). It is all there on MDN, but even the first sentence is putting up barriers: ==== JavaScript ( JS ) is a lightweight, interpreted, or just-in-time compiled programming language with first-class functions. ==== What?! My small contribution to this is to start an Airtable scripting blog with some practical walk-throughs of how to get to what you want to do with an Airtable script: Airscript Home An introduction to scripting on Airtable bases for new coders The aim is to provide an introduction to scripting on Airtable. It isn’t the definitive resource on JavaScript code and standards (not by a long shot) and, even within the Airt
With the recent launch of the Scripting Block, we’ve been excited to see all the handy things created with it (and cool to say that @openside won a contest with this nifty script also!). So we made a central resource to host ALL the user-created scripts (code + description + source) for the scripting block and put it here. It had to be done. :woman_mechanic: Here are a few screenshots: You were wishing for a central place to find all the script-block goodness, admit it. :slightly_smiling_face: See the Scripts Library Have a script to add? Click through on the link above to submit it. Hope it’s helpful!
Hello all, I’m looking for help on a particular project. It’s a visual directory of people/things/activities/relationships specific to a particular industry. I have a base in Airtable with tables setup… The 4 main tables are as follows: Person Company Project Relationship The idea is those 3 main entities (Person/Company/Project) all have relationships to each other… And that those relationships also carry data themselves. For example… Bill Gates (person) has a relationship to Microsoft (company)… but we also want to know the time range that relationship was valid (from, til), as well as the nature of the relationship (e.g. CEO). What I want is for this data to be available on a web portal with the ability to search the database and make queries. The queries could be simple: (e.g. “Show me all PEOPLE who work for MICROSOFT”), or they could be more complex (“Show me all PEOPLE who worked on WINDOWS (project) for MICROSOFT (company) between Jan 1, 1995 and Jan 1, 1999. As the p
Hello AT community of super smart consultants, I have been using an AT database for about two years now. Over the years, we’ve added, adjusted, and evolved it to what it is today. And what it is today is good, but in my gut I feel it can be better. Coming from the standpoint of ‘I don’t know what I don’t know’, I’m looking for someone to evaluate what I have, understand my business, and consult on ALL that can be possible using all available features of AT. Thank you for your help! Vita
I have an Airtable base, I have a website. How can I hook them together so that website visitors can search the databases?
I have a pretty simple database I use to make repair tickets. I receive the repair request via a form submission on our site and import it via Zapier. When I send each record field to the different shops to handle the repair, it takes about 4 pages of paper to print out. I essentially need to be able to reduce the amount of spacing between listed fields so it we can reduce the number of pages each shop has to print out. Anybody got experience with this? Thanks, Dominic
Hey all, So I am new here and totally new to word of airtable and databases, my knowledge ends at 10th grade excel. We are a bakery in Berlin, Germany trying to readjust to life after Corona. I came across Airtable but am too busy trying to run a bakery rather than trying to learn a whole new software. We are trying to get a database together, in which we can easily input new ingredients/suppliers/costings/recipes and link to our sales to manage our overhead better. Here is a list of things I am after. Ingredients and recipe costings (we reuse ingredients in our kitchen, bakery, retail space and online retail space, focus on zero waste) Easy recipe and costing generation forms intergration with pos (we use orderbird, cybake and shopify currently) production planning shift planning financial reporting. All this is just the start, we are seperating our wholesale department into a seperate logistics department, doing b2b and b2c. I know airtable is a powerful tool and would really appre
I either need to add a new field and link it appropriately or set it up as a new table and link it accordingly. Super quick turnaround preferred.
We are an alternative energy finance company in Dallas, TX that is reviewing Airtable to handle our (simple for now) database needs. In the short run I expect 1 base with 4-6 tables that focus on definable assets (with lat/lon coordinates), their links to a geographic area (counties or sections thereof), their owners, and then any contacts/CRM type stuff. I have built a prototype/sample myself, but am having trouble automating the links (writing the script defeated me for now). Could use immediate help for deciding, and this could turn into an ongoing gig. Local helpful (Dallas) but not required.
I use tags to highlight some characteristics of records in my table. In this dataset I want to highlight whenever I have a “Stale Deal” and/or a “New Customer.” I want to use multi-select options because they’re easy to filter and chart. However, I don’t want to manually tag each select option, because there’s a formulaic way I can assess these characteristics: ‘New Customer’ = Deal Count is one ‘Stale Deal’ = Time since last inquiry is > 30 days. I’ve tried to do this via a formula and isn’t pretty to write, read, filter, or chart by. So, why not replace that formula with a script? Works like a charm: Link to the base here. Happy Scripting! /* Calculations: 'New Customer' = Deal Count == 1 'Stale Deal' = Times Since Last Inquiry > 30 */ // Load Records let table = base.getTable('Data'); let query = await table.selectRecordsAsync(); let records = query.records // Create an Array of tags when a record matches the criteria let check = records.map( c => ({id:c.id,t
