Formulas

Hi Airtable community! 👋I’m working on a base where I need status updates in one table to automatically reflect in another table — and I’d love advice on the best way to build this.BackgroundI have two tables:📌 Projects Project Name Status (e.g., “Planning”, “In Progress”, “Completed”) 📌 Tasks Task Name Linked Project Task Status I want to automatically update the Project’s Status based on the status of its linked Tasks. For example: If all Tasks are “Completed”, set Project Status to Completed If any Task is “In Progress”, set Project Status to In Progress Otherwise, Project Status should remain Planning Right now I’m using rollups and

I’m having an issue with a formula that rounds up incorrectly, i’ve browsed the forums and can’t seem to find a solution.I have a simple math equation x * y = zI suspect that the issues is stemming from a formula that contains four decimal points:I’m not able to round up this number, however, it needs to remain as is.  I’m not sure how to get a correct calculation using airtable. 

can someone help with this formula, when there are no dates in the fields it returns 12/31/1969, i’d like it to return a blank or “none”  DATETIME_PARSE(  MAX(    IF({Last Entered Patrol Start Date (from Patrol Reports Section 1)}, VALUE(DATETIME_FORMAT({Last Entered Patrol Start Date (from Patrol Reports Section 1)}, 'x')), 0),    IF({Last Entered Patrol Start Date (from Patrol Reports Section 2)}, VALUE(DATETIME_FORMAT({Last Entered Patrol Start Date (from Patrol Reports Section 2)}, 'x')), 0),    IF({Last Entered Patrol Start Date (from Patrol Reports Section 3)}, VALUE(DATETIME_FORMAT({Last Entered Patrol Start Date (from Patrol Reports Section 3)}, 'x')), 0),    IF({Last Entered Patrol Start Date (from Patrol Reports Section 4)}, VALUE(DATETIME_FORMAT({Last Entered Patrol Start Date (from Patrol Reports Section 4)}, 'x')), 0),    IF({Last Entered Patrol Start Date (from Patrol Reports Section 5)}, VALUE(DATETIME_FORMAT({La

Have a form that a record picker is used to select a client and am trying to get a encoded URL into a button that can be selected from within an Interface page and have the client pre-selected.Have made plenty of Forms pre-filled encoded URLs (Button linked to formula building the URL), but cannot get this one to work - only seems to be for the Record Picker elementHave other URLs for this exact form that work fine, eg:https://airtable.com/appgAgIX5zNGRiox4/pagqzLgwghd7xBloc/form?prefill_Action+Type=Maturing+Term+Deposit&prefill_Task+Name=Maturing+Term+Deposit+-+(Bank)(Amount)(Date)

I have a list of names in the format John Smith MD or John Smith, MD (some with commas, some without) and I’d like them to be in the format Dr. Smith. Is there a formula that can do that for me?

Disregard...no way to delete

// change these names to pick a view:let table = base.getTable('Invoices');let view = table.getView('Grid view'); let result = await view.selectRecordsAsync({fields: ['Amount']});let runningTotal = 0;for (let record of result.records) {    // change the field names here to adapt this script to your base    runningTotal += record.getCellValue('Amount');    await table.updateRecordAsync(record, {        'Running total': runningTotal,    });}

A couple months back, I asked for help deleting lines of text beginning with the word ‘Highlight’ and was given this great formula: REGEX_REPLACE({Hook},".*Highlight.*\\n\n?","") It has been a huge time-saver but something I forgot to ask with my original question is if there is a way to add a blank line/line break where those lines were. I input data into the records that looks like:Highlight(blue) - Page 34 · Location 290“Look at that. That thing’s almost a book.”Highlight(yellow) - Page 34 · Location 292“You think… she’s going to print it? When it’s done?”Highlight(pink) - Page 34 · Location 294“I hope so,” I say as brightly as I can manage.  And when using the current formula, it comes out like:“Look at that. That thing’s almost a book.”“You think… she’s

I'm creating an athlete database. I want to create a column that shows where an athlete ranks, for various metrics, relative to everyone else. For example, let's say someone is 6'9" tall and that puts the athlete in the top 2% of all the athletes in the database. How can I calculate that for that athlete (and every other athlete)? Is that possible?

Hello - We are creating a way to track social media posts for our clients. Clients will ask us to make a certain number of social media posts on their behalf, we then want to keep track of how many social media posts have been made and how many are still required for each client contract. Here are the two tables we have created Social Media Posts Created - Airtable - Content overview Social Media Contracts (requests) - Airtable - All content and requests I’m new to Airtable, so this may be a simple formula, but any help would be appreciated.

After extensive searching, I’ve confirmed that rollup functions do not support finding the mode of the values in the rollup field. I can’t be the only person who has come across this need, so I’d love to know what methods are available without using a 3rd party app. I’m not opposed to an automation, but would rather it be as simple and without the need for scripting if possible.

Hi! I’m creating a base of videos from youtube. I have an attachment column in my base and I want to put there video thumbnail. All thumbnails have the same link but with different ID. For example: Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAl9SayLzTE ID: pAl9SayLzTE Thumbnail link: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pAl9SayLzTE/maxresdefault.jpg Questions: Is there a formula that will create a link to thumbnail with a known ID from another cell? So I need some formula that will insert ID in a template https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XXXXXXX/maxresdefault.jpg instead of XXXXXXX

I have a table (Invoices: House) that uses a sequential Invoice # entered in a field type: Number. I am currently entering each one manually as I create a new invoice record in the table. I would like to automate the process of assigning the next sequential number as I create a new invoice record.I am trying to figure out if I can do this with a formula or if I need to use an Automation or a Script.Does anyone have a way to do this?Thanks, Scott

Hello everyone,I am trying to make a nested IF/AND formula to do the following:IF the ‘Date First Contacted’ = blank, status = ‘Not Contacted.” IF the ‘Date First Contacted ‘= not blank and ‘Follow-Up Date’ = not blank, status = “Followed up.”Is it possible to write this into a formula given that ‘Date First Contacted’ and ‘Follow-Up Date’ are separate fields?  Thank you! 

I click the + below.The form opens.I click "Save" but nothing is saved.

I want to create a formula to select the SECOND-LARGEST value among five different categories. I’ve already created one to select the LARGEST value (called “Category 1), and then my thought was to exclude that category and return the max of the remaining four fields. With the help of Airtable’s AI, I got this formula:IF( {Category 1} = "Connections", SWITCH( MAX({Events}, {Programs}, {Support}, {Marketing}), {Events}, "Events", {Programs}, "Programs", {Support}, "Support", {Marketing}, "Marketing" ), IF( {Category 1} = "Events", SWITCH( MAX({Connections}, {Programs}, {Support}, {Marketing}), {Connections}, "Connections", {Programs}, "Programs", {Support}, "Support", {Marketing}, "Marketing" ), IF( {Category 1} = "Programs", SWITCH( MAX({Connections}

Hi all, I import CSV files with salary ranges.There are two fields from CSV: “Salary Min” & “Salary Max”. Their format is $75,000.00. I want to have them in one field ($75,000 - $100,000), so created a third field with the formula IF(  AND({Salary Min}, {Salary Max}),    "$" & {Salary Min} & " - $" &a

Hello, I want to create a food menu, such that customers can view the food items and other details in the gallery view and can order multiple food items at once by submitting. This will streamline process and give a better customer experience. I will provide a tablet or a link to them to make an order; At present, I have the option to give them a form which is not graphical and they have to make any submissions from their table. The data goes into the grid view and is accessed in the kitchen for processing. Thanks

Hello all, I'm looking for some help with a dynamic date filtering challenge in automations.I have a Social Media Metrics table where each record needs to link to all previous records for the same Contact/Platform combination, but only where Date Recorded is before the current record's date.The challenge: Airtable's Find Records action in automations doesn't support dynamic date comparisons (e.g., "Date Recorded < trigger record's Date Recorded"). This means I can't filter to only link previous records—it would link to all records including future ones.I've considered:Manual linking (works but not scalable) MIN/MAX rollup pattern with formula logic (works but still requires the linking step first) External tools like Make.com or scripting (viable but checking if there's a native solution first)Has anyone solved this elegantly within Airtable? Any creative workarounds I'm missing?Thanks in advance!

Hello!I'm having issues with Airtable's default GMT timezone. I have a Date field (which I do not want to have time displayed for) as well as a formula field using the DATEADD formula to calculate the next time a task is due, based on frequency. In the formula field, I can specify timezone. In the Date field, I can't - without adding the time. Because of that, it's calculating incorrectly - everything is off by a day. Only when I add a time do the dates show up correctly. Is there any way to fix this? Do I need to add something to my DATEADD formula? Thank you!   

If I use an automation to update fields, does it update the fields in the order listed in the automation? So can I copy data from the existing fields first then update the fields with new data all in the same automation? If they update in order why can't I rearrange the order? just have to delete and reorder them all manually...

We have various sales/participation goals that change every year. My idea is to essentially store a unique formula for every goal, for every year, in a text field in a year table. Then in the main table, lookup that text field and somehow create a formula field based on that to do the actual calculation. Is that possible? Year Goal Name Criteria (single line text field) 2024 CP Sales Goal IF({CP Sales Rollup} >= 50000, 1, 0) 2025 CP Sales Goal IF({CP Sales Rollup} >= 60000, 1, 0)  Client Year (link) Criteria (lookup text field)
