Formulas

Hi, I’m looking for some help please to write a formula that assigns a product to a particular shipping box based on dimensions of the product. The products have a height, depth and length, The boxes have minimum and maximum dimension thresholds for height, depth and length. How do I created a formula that assigns each product a box (or multiple boxes?) based on its dimensions? I created a demo of the Product and Box tables: Airtable

Hi everyone. please help me with this. I have some lookup fields, they have many values on them. I want to add a formula to multiply each of those values by a percentage (%), at the time I make this formula the total shows 1.0 instead of the multiple comma-separated values with their values reflecting the discount made by the percentage field. Am I missing something in formulas to operate those values? Thanks in advance

Here is an example of what I have. Each student has 5 choices in the answers. 15 questions, 30 students and 5 choices per question.

The answers: Very Often, Often, Sometimes, Rarely, Not at all I need the poercentage of how many students answered Not at all or often etc

Hi there! I’m trying to create a gradebook for a faculty member that I support. She gives students the option of dropping their midterm score if they did poorly and having their final exam make up a bigger portion of their final grade. I have a checkbox field to track that, so I want the formula for the final exam to say: if the checkbox is blank, average the midterm, final, and participation, and if it’s checked, average the final and participation. I keep getting an #ERROR value. Here’s my formula currently: IF({Reduce midterm?}=0, SUM(({Midterm exam numerical}.3),({Final exam numerical}.5),({Participation numerical}.2)), IF({Reduce midterm?}=1, SUM(({Final exam numerical}.8),({Participation numerical}*.2)))) Thanks for any help!

Hi, I’m trying to make a formula if a checkbox is tiped: If checkbox is tiped than calculate the price by multiplying a value in column A by another value in columbn B and show the result in column C.

Hi community, I’ve built a labor tracker where we will track hours worked per Person/Project/Day. Based upon an 8 hour day, I want to calculate the percent of their day worked on that particular project. For example, if Veronica works on Project P-035.1 for 4 hrs, she submits that through a form by entering her name (linked field), the date she worked, the project (linked field) and the hours she spent on that project that day. In the case of working 4 hrs, the percentage worked on that project for the day should be 50%. I’m hitting a total blank on how to do that with a formula. (right now the % field is just a manual thing, because I don’t know what the formula should be) After that, I’m hoping to figure out how to calculate percentage worked on the project for the Month, because that’s how our budget predictions are created, and I want to compare and contrast predictions with actuals. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I don’t know if this is possible to do - but if so would be of huge value to me. My Challenge: I have records in Airtable that contain ‘Media Bookings’ for advertising campaigns As an example: Campaign: Launch Site: Youtube booked Impressions: 1000000 Media Cost: $15000 Start Date: 01/10/2022 End Date: 31/12/2022 I need to easily convert this information into ‘Week commencing’ detail so that I can prorata the impressions and cost based on weeks of the campaign e.g. W/C 03rd October, 10th October Value of doing this: this would help significantly with monitoring pacing of campaigns, and suporting accurate invoicing of costs to clients Is there a way of doing this within Airtable… thank you so much for your help!!!

I need to compare two date fields to get a specific result. I am not an expert at Airtable, so my explanation isn’t very good :). My base is for tracking training. I need to mark a month “excused” if a person’s hire date is after the meeting date and then mark the month as completed or missed if their hire date is before the meeting date. The hire date is 9/1/2022, and the meeting date is 10/1/2022. That person is required to complete the monthly program. Any suggestions on a formula? - Wendy in Michigan.

Continuing the discussion from No More Static URLs for Attachments?: No More Static URLs for Attachments? But I’ve now lost hope that this WON’T happen if we complain enough… I head back from the support team who said they would share my concerns with the product team… I do believe in miracles… Ha ha! I guess you got your wish (for a while anyway).

Hi, I am trying to fill in a field with the content of 5 other fields separated by an underscore. I manage to get Field1_Field2_Field3_Field4_Field5 but if one or more of the fields are empty I get a consecutive underscores like this: Field1__Field3_ Is there a way I can tell airtable not to include the underscores that would be followed by empty fields?

I need to be able to check and see if a certain time has passed in a formula field, and I don’t think I’m doing this right. My pseudocode is: If now is past 10:30am today, then 1, otherwise 0 What would be the best way to go about this?

Hello, I’m trying to find a way to get a cumulative sum from the last 30 days that needs to be updated daily. This is all I have at the moment. (PS: The numbers on the left are IDs.)

Hello, I’m trying to write a formula to detect if there is a duplicate record, ignoring a few columns. I’m not very good with formulas, but I imagine it’d be two if statements, which if correct I’d like it to highlight the row red? There’s probably a more intuitive way. I think with the if statements it might not pick up duplicate numbers that are on the same row? Thanks!

Hey there, I’m looking up a duration formatted formula field from multiple records. The result of the lookup looks like this “4:24, 6:00, 6:31”. Is there a way to reference and DATETIME_FORMAT this in a formula field and get a similar output format? I cannot figure it out and get a zero value or the underlying seconds.

Hello, I need some help. I’m not a formula expert but I’m trying to determine the amount of time between 4 dates. In a nutshell, I know how to already determine the time between 2 dates *ONLY but I need to figure out how to get the formula to compute for multiple dates as listed in the formula and pictures below. Any assistance you can provide would be great! This is for managing a team of volunteers who sometimes come in and come out (pause and restart based on their availability). Thanks, James

I think this is pretty simple? I would like to set a formula on a checkbox so that, when the value of another field changes, the checkbox is checked. OR, when field “Money” changes value, a separate field returns a value of “Print”. Then I have an extension set to print records with the “Print” value. Would appreciate help. Thank you!

I have 4 columns in my table, each containing numbers. In the Formula column called ‘Above Threshold’ I’m trying to create a formula that says if any of the values across the 4 columns is >100 output ‘Above’ and if <=100 output ‘Below’. So something like this IF(({Total users (last 30d)},{Total users (prev 30d)},{Total users (last 90d-120d)},{Total users (last 120d-150d)},)>100, "Above", "Below") That formula doesn’t work, so is there a way of doing it without using nested IF statements?

Hello Everyone, I am a gallery assistant and trying to convince my director to move to Airtable! However, I meet some issues, hope anyone can kindly help me. So there will be two groups of product prices, one is (A+B), and the other one will be the amount we type in. Can the formula do something like If(Checkbox=1, “{A+B}”, “manual enter”) or something like this? Sorry really bad at this. Hope anyone can give me some ideas about this

What is the formula I input if i’m looking to create a new field that calculates days since a Record ID was tagged with a specific label in a specific column/field?

I am trying to create and if and statement for one field being empty and the other being filled. My fields Problem Category Closed Date Closed date always needs to be filled for me to provide a return to my field Charge Type. If the problem category is blank then I need to return “Marketable”. If the problem category is filled then I need to return “Problem”. I have tried multiple If And statements always getting an error or undesirable result. The latest one I have gotten is as follows If (And( Problem Category = BLANK(), Closed Date != BLANK()), “Marketable”, “Problem”)

Hi all, I have a sheet of stock data that was too large for excel, so I decided to move it all over to Airtable. But I’m having trouble with one of the formulas I was using. In excel I’m using the FILTER formula that looks across the column headers (dates) to return the price that relates to a date I enter in another cell. For example, you can see in the image below, I entered the date of 10/11/12 in B2, and with my filter formula in K2 =FILTER(L2:O2,L1:O1=B2) it returns the price that is in N2 (as N1 matches the date I entered in B2). I see in Airtable there is a formula field type, but I don’t know how to replicate what I’m trying to do in excel… Any help would be much appreciated!

I have a payroll base that my workers fill out a form and then they submit a role (Main photo, Main video, 2nd shooter) I have a set rate for each role in each wedding that is literally different for each one. How can I structure a IF statement to dynamically pull the right amount to calculate how much they are owed from the job?

Hi, going off of my previous topic about gardening in “How can I use a formula for the below data?” I am wondering if there is a way to mark a row to show that I missed the target date for the plantings. Say like my target date is 11/20/22 but I didn’t get around to it till the 23rd. Is there a way to make it automatically color or trigger that row saying that I went over that date? Thanks.

Hi, so I am trying to make a formula that fits my gardening schedule for the upcoming spring season. I have the pro plan if that makes a difference in what I am limited to do. Here’s an live example of the problem I am having so far. I will plant my cilantro seeds on 3/22/23. It takes 4 weeks till harvest. So I have 4/12/2023 as the ending date. I will need two other harvest date’s after that. The problem is that I need formulas for each plant which is a total of 40. They all have different dates and different weeks till harvest. Would I need different formulas for an auto-fill each time I put seeds into the ground or am I able to create conditions for it to all work? Thanks.
