I have a list of holiday dates, and I need to determine if today is one of those dates. So far I’ve figured out how to check today against a single date, but not against a list of dates.


However, there’s also a problem with checking the date. If I use this formula, I get the correct response.


IF(

IS_SAME(

TODAY(),‘11/22/2022’

), ‘HOLIDAY’,“NULL”

)


BUT, I need to know if TODAY() is equal to the holiday date for different timezones. If I perform a DATETIME_FORMAT with SET_TIMEZONE, then it sets the date to yesterday. And if I use NOW() as the basis for the comparison, it won’t just check against the date, it seems to also want the time.


So, question is two-fold: 1) How can I compare today’s date with a specific date in different timezones in order to determine if today is a holiday in that timezone? 2) How can I compare today’s date to a list of dates?


Thanks for your help!

Unfortunately this can't be done with Airtable's available formula functions. There aren't currently any functions that allow for the same operation to be run on a collection of items (dates, strings, etc.). This could be done using a script, but that would be a bit more involved (writing the script, choosing how that script would be triggered, etc.)
