Formulas

I have this formula WORKDAY({Release Date},-{weeks out in #days}) it returns the date that I need but if there is a cell with Release Date empty, it returns #ERROR. I have tried this formula IF( AND( {Release Date}, {weeks out in #days} ), DATETIME_DIFF({weeks out in #days},{Release Date},‘date’), BLANK()) it removes the #ERROR on the cells that it should, but it puts #ERROR in all of the date fields, I lose the dates that I need. I have tried this formula WORKDAY({Release Date},-{weeks out in #days}, BLANK()) this one puts #ERROR in all cells. what I need: the first formula that returns dates, but if the {Release Date} cell is empty, I want to see a blank rather than #ERROR.

Surely this is an easy formula, but I just can’t get my brain to bend this way: I am using Airtable for my timesheet for my employees. I would like to improve upon my existing “Total Hours” formula by showing “Total Hours by task” , and each task is a single select item in another field. Here’s my “Total Hours” formula currently: DATETIME_DIFF({Time Out},{Time In},‘minutes’) / 60 Field for the different tasks is aptly named: “Task” Specific Single Select is “Teaching” Please help! Thanks!

Hi All, I am looking for a Count formula to count up the different “Product SKU’s” in the a column. The SKU’s are separated by a comma

Hello, I am new here. I am also new to formulas. Have managed to work out the formula to calculate the number of 12hr shifts between two date/time fields. ROUNDUP(((DATETIME_DIFF({DepartureDate},{ArrivalDate},‘minutes’) /60 ) /12), 0) My struggle is that shifts are from 06:00 to 18:00 day shift and 18:00 to 06:00 night shift. Therefore if a start time is any time between 06:00 and 18:00 I need it to 'snapback to the default start 06:00. And the same for if the start time is any time between 18:00 and 06:00, I need it to ‘snapback’ to the default start 18:00. Bearing in mind that these are date and time fields formatted YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm. Can anybody help with the correct formula? I hope my explanation makes sense!

Depsite @Justin_Barrett’s help last time, I still cannot figure out simple regex patterns. This time, I’m combining in a roll-up year and value and am trying to extract the value based on a date. IF( AND(Date, Values), REGEX_EXTRACT( Values, "(?:" & DATETIME_FORMAT(Date,"YYYY") & " )([^,])")) For example Values: 2023 530,2022 480, Date: 2022 Result: 480 Preferably each string would be Year:Value,Year:Value… but I was afraid the double dot may me some reserved character and dropped it.

Just wanted to share an awesome exchange I had with the Airtable Support Staff! We have programs with different start dates that meet on different days. I wanted to count the total days since start dates that have passed so that we can have our Attendance System Account for it. This is what they said: Do you have a field in your base that indicates whether a role meets Tuesday/Fridays or Mon/Wed/Fri? If so, you could combine the formula that Kuvonne suggested in the community post you linked with a IF( statement to calculate the number of class instances that have occurred. In the example below, I created a formula that operates under the assumption that there is a field denoting ‘T/F’ for the Tuesday-Friday class and ‘M/W/F’ for the 3 day meeting schedule. If you have a Start and End date that you will be comparing, you could structure your formula like the below: IF({Meeting Cadence}=‘T/F’, SUM(DATETIME_DIFF({End Date}, {Start Date}, ‘weeks’)+ IF

Hello everyone, Sorry to bother you, but here’s a little question for the formula. Can the selected function be used in the formula?

Hope anyone can kindly give me some structure, Thank you. Best Regards, K.c

Hello, For my plant tracker I’ve been using a formula to give me an estimated date of transplanting. This has been working fine. Now I want to add a check-box, so that when I plant something in-ground and i check this, the Estimated date of transplanting box will return an N/A vallue. I got all of this to work but I have a problem with how to date is formatted. As you can see the last column has a different date format. This is the code: IF({In-ground} = 1, “N/A”, IF({Germination Date}, DATEADD({Germination Date},{Estimated days to Transplanting}+0,‘days’),IF({Estimated germination date}, DATEADD({Estimated germination date},{Estimated days to Transplanting}+0,‘days’)))) I tried to add a BLANK() after the DATEADD so I can change it in the formatting tab but it doesn’t work. I think I have to add a DATETIME_FORMAT but i’m not sure where to add it in th

I run a career coaching program, and I am trying to automate how we offer people the opportunity to renew their time in the program. We do this manually each month by looking at everyone’s dates and changing a single select field called “Initiate Renewal.” What I want to do, is create a formula that will continuously look at everyone’s end dates and detect when someone’s end date is next month. If their end date is next month, it would update a field “Renewal end date is next month” with YES. And this would then be a trigger we could use in a Zap to send that person to the right email automation in ActiveCampaign (to send the renewal emails). I made a mockup of what I’m trying to do. I’m totally open to better ways to do this, but this is what I’m trying to do on a very literal level :slightly_smiling_face: …

Hello all, thank you so much for taking the time to read this, any help would be appreciated I have a question with regards to a topic that Gareth covered in is "“Allocating Resources with a Timeline View”. His demonstration is great, however the utilization field in the timeline only links to a single record, which is fine if you only take 1 day off at a time. My records need to have both a start and end, some up to a week apart. My question, is there a formula, or other method that will allow to be take both of these dates and consolidate all of the dates in between into a single cell? As this seems to be the only way for the timeline to recognize all of my holidays If there is a better solution for me to do this then any help is appreciated, but essentially the end goal is to find a way to combined projects and holiday data (2 dates) onto one time

I have used the SUBSTITUTE function to replace multi-select items with a numerical value and this has resulted in this kind of result: 3,2,1,4,1 Now I need to add those numbers so I get 11. The closest I’ve found to a solution is in this post: SUM of Values separated by a comma in the same sheet

Hello community, I already searched through the forum and found a helpful formula - with a minor problem based on that formula that I am trying to fix. Our datetime_format is D-M-YYYY. Background: We have a field called {start date} for when a new client relationship starts. Let’s say one client started on 1st September 2022 (past date) and another client will start on 1st November 2022 (future date). We have a report automation that we want to send out every year. The first report will be sent out one year after the client was onboarded, that process starting now. That means we do not want to send out multiple reports for a client that started on 1st July 2010, instead they will receive their first report on 1st July 2023. In our understanding we need a date formula adding one year to the {start date} and also consider the current year. Formula: IF({start date}, DATETIME_PARSE(DAY({start date}) & “-” & MONTH({st
