Formulas

Hi all, Quick one. I’m trying to build out a timeplanner to estimate when tasks are estimated to finish based on a start date/hour, and an estimated number of hours to complete. The formula I have so far distills down to days to make it compatible with the workday() function, but the function doesn’t seem to accept anything after the decimal point. i.e. 1.5 days as an input only increments by 1 day, only the whole integer value is used. Is there something I’m missing here, or is there another way to configure to correct this behaviour? Thanks in advance.

Hello :slightly_smiling_face: I have this formula to calculate Manpower/Days/Hours and a Rate into a dollar amount here: IF({MP/Day} > 0, {MP/Day} * Days * Hours * Rate,“0”) and it works! However it’s not being recognized by Airtable as a ## therefore I cannot get a sum, and it also doesn’t show commas when I’m using the field to generate totals in an interface. I figure I could play around with the formatting to get commas etc. but for the life of me I cannot figure out why it is not being recognized as a number that I can add up a total of? Thank you!

Hey AT Community! Is there a way to remove the tail ends from formulas in bulk? Example- I have 3 urls in 3 different rows: https://google.com/index?test https://yahoo.com/example?test https://apple.com/ending?test Using a formula (or something else) I’d like to get rid of the tails so that I am left with: https://google.com/ https://yahoo.com/ https://apple.com/ I feel like this should be possible? Appreciate any pointers!

Hello, I wonder if someone could perhaps help me with a formula I’m stuck on. I have a single select field with a number of products: Product 1; Product 2; Product 3; Product 4 etc. I also have a Premium (currency) field and a Commission (percentage) field. I’m looking at adding a Commission (currency) field with a formula that shows me the amount. However, some products are subject to tax at 12%, whereas others are not, and i want to get the commission amount after the tax has been deducted. How can I create this? e.g. IF Product = product 1, product 2, product 3, then (Premium * 0.88) * Commission, IF Product = Product 4, product 5, product 6, then Premium * Commission Thanks in advance

Hey folks, need some help with regex… I have the following information and I just need the first telephone number. Is there a way to extract the information from Tel to Tel-Nr? Only need the first phone number of each record

Hi there Is there a way I can tally the occurrences of a record within a column? For example, if I have a column called ‘colours’ and it has five reds, three blues and two yellows, how can I count these and disp[lay within a record (probably on another tab called ‘Calculations’)? Thank you in advance.

Hello, I am needing to color code based on two conditions. On this base, I have various fields, one of them being a multiple record selection for tutoring subjects required. From here you can select up to 5 subjects. Now I have various other fields, these have the hours that they have been tutored per subject, some can say 0 since they do not require any tutoring in those subjects. Now for the conditioned color coding, depending on the subjects they need tutoring in, I need them to meet 30 hours per subject. So if they meet 30 hours in the subject they require tutoring in I want them to turn green. Here is the tricky part, they can meet 30 hours in one subject that they require but, only 15 in the other, that would yield to the record not being marked as green since they only met 30 hours for one but not the other. Example: Student A requires tutoring in 2 subjects, she met 33 hours in one of the subjects but only 12 on the other su

Hello, I’m trying to manipulate a multi-select field in a formula and I’m having a problem. I have for example: Data1,Data2,Data3,Data4, I would like to be able to transform this data to have: Data1, Data2, Data3, Data4 I tried with SUBSTITUTE, REGEX… Can you help me ? Thanks !

I’d like a formula to remove the [1][2] instances from the column data

Formula is pulling linked input to create a unique name and for some reason, the formula is putting parenthesis around some of the linked names and not on other linked names. When I double check the linked table, the names are clean. Anyone know why this is happening and how I can get the parenthesis to not show up? See line 40 - 43 on first screen shot.

I have a table that are songs that we have worked, the artist, and other information. There are many duplicates as it is possible we work the same song and artist multilpe times. I want to create a view to show unique values only in the artist column. The way we have this set up with the API, Related records does not make sense in this instance. I know I can group by artist, but it is just not clean or prety. How can I create a view that just has unique values of a specific column?

We have the following columns in our database: Date Joined - regular date Last renewed - regular date Next Renewal - formula (IF({Last Renewed}=BLANK(),BLANK(), DATEADD({Last Renewed},12,“months”)) However, I also need to include my month-to-month memberships. How do I add it to this formula? Status of Renewal - The formula should help us calculate the Status of Renewal field as follows: IT SHOULD SHOW: “Active ” if the Renewal Date is in the future with 22 days and longer from TODAY. IT SHOULD SHOW “Close To Renewal ” if the Renewal Date is 21 days from TODAY (the current date). IT SHOULD SHOW: “Needs Renewal ” if the Renewal Date is 22 days passed and longer from TODAY (current date).

Here’s the situation. I’ve automated data coming in from a different platform that has a Single Select List. When the data comes in to Table 1, it’s an ID jargon that I need to have converted to a List Name in another Table 2 where ID to List Name is defined. I then have a lookup field in Table 1 that gets Table 2’s list name, this way it associate with the rest of the data imported, but I noticed it won’t allow me to do a lookup field as a single select so that I can use it as a kanban. Is there a workaround for this?

I use ARRAYUNIQUE in a Rollup to show the latest number for a field in another table. That field is a percentage field (I could make it numeric too, no problem) The percentage/number in the original field is possible to format neatly with 2 decmals. However the rollup ARRAYUNIQE (values) is showing all the decimals, which looks crap to be honest. But since it’s not numbers anymore, is there a way to make it look prettier? Right now my solution (which doesn’t work) was to make a new formula field and do this: "IF( {roll copy} = 0, BLANK(), "% "& ({roll copy} “show only two decimals”) ) Do you get what I’m looking for?

Hello, Looking for a method to count records in another table. In this case, I have a table with part numbers and their associated product. In another table, I want to count for each product, how many parts are in it by counting the part numbers from the first table. TYIA

I have a formula that brings in data from multiple fields, such as the attached. There are around 40 of these formulas, I would like to be able to sort the output by the date shown (highlighted portion of the formula). Is this possible without using a factorial approach as that is not scalable in reality. Looking for more of a ‘sort’ wrapping of the formula if at all possible.

Hello, I am new to using Airtable. I have a question about a formula I want to implement. I would like to be able to do an IF function to check if a phone number is already assigned to the customer. If the phone number is assigned to customer 1, I would like to check if it is also assigned to customer 2, if so, a final check of the phone number for customer 3. If the first condition is not validated, I would like to indicate “Customer1” in the result column, if the phone is assigned for “Customer1” but not for customer2, I would like the result column to indicate “Customer2” etc… If the number is not in the list, and it is not assigned to any customer, I would like the result to be “Not assigned”. The purpose of this formula is to check to which customer a phone number has already been assigned (knowing that it can be assigned to several customers). This formula would be used during an API connection to check for a defined phone numbe

There seems to be an error in the SUM calculation of a list of my entries ( on multiple tabs also!). In the grid view, I click the “field name” to see the SUM of the added numbers but the total is always incorrect. I used a calculator to add the numbers up manuall and I get a differnet total. It must be a simple error, but I have not been able to find the solution. Please help because I’m trying to use Airtable for my business and these incorrect totals are causing a serious problem for my balance sheet.

Hi all I would really appreciate some support to come up with the correct formula for the columns in the screenshot below. I want the price in the standard pricing column to auto-populate when a selection has been made in the payment options column. For example, suppose I select 10 instalments in the payment options column. In that case, I want the standard pricing column to automatically associate $150 with this option and then automatically add the $150 to the standard pricing column. The same, for example, with the option paid in full, should automatically add $1500 in the standard pricing column. Your support with this is highly appreciated. Thank you

Hi, I’m struggling with some nested IF, AND and OR formulas. I’m trying to find if a value is within a range of numbers, and is a multiple of 5. For the range, I have the formula: IF(Value A >= 90,"Good", IF(Value A <= 150, "Bad")) <<This works To check if Value A is a multiple of 5, I have the formula: IF(OR(RIGHT("" & Value A,1) =0, RIGHT("" & Value A,1)=5),"Good", "Bad") << this works The part I am struggling with is combining them together so that: If Value A is between 90-150 and is a multiple of 5 then “Good”, otherwise “Bad” Any ideas? Thanks, Scott

Hello, I have a problem with the pre-entry of the “Modifier le dossier d’un parent” form and more specifically with the “Parent du dossier” field in the table “Temp. Transmission pièces justificatives”. I am following the syntax of your blog post, but nothing works. What’s weird is that when I duplicate the field and try to pre-populate the duplicated field, it works without a hitch. Could you please help me? Thank you.

Hi, I have this formula: Centre & "-" & {Musician Educators} & "-" & Time Which is giving me Primary Record IDs like this: Dublin-Johnny Teacher-12:00-12:30 which is great, but what I really want is: Du-JT-12:00-12:30 So regex’ing the first two letters of the first field, and the first letters of the two names of the second (I can ensure all teachers are listed as simple first and last names.). It would make my Primary Fields a lot shorter, clearer, and easier to find when entering in data. Is that easily done? Thanks!

Hello, I’ve been trying out a couple of ideas for table linking via Linked Fields and Automation. One particular idea lead me to creating multiple Rollup Fields, that then all need to be returned into a linked field via an Automation. There’s a few ways to do this. One method is scripting the entire solution within an Automation - but I’m exploring non-script methods - but my troubles are with the array construction that the Automation then copies. Here’s one example table - please excuse my spaceship terminology :grinning_face_with_sweat: :rocket: At the moment, I’m using the below formula, but feel that it’s just a bit too much? Is there not a simpler way to write this? CONCATENATE( IF({Chassis (Frigate Class)} ,{Chassis (Frigate Class)} & ", " ,""), IF({Chassis (Destroyer Class)} ,{Chassis (Destroye

I have an Interactions and an Investors table. There are vaious interaction types as investors move from cold > warm > diligence, etc. These interaction types are managed via a single-select and piped in via various automations. Two metrics I’m trying to highlight using a number element in the Interface Designer: Simplistically: Cold → Pitch conversions Pitch → Diligence conversions So far, I tried grouping interactions by investor and leveraing rollups in the linked Investors table. Don’t think that’s the way. In my mind this looks like No status (0), Cold (1), Pitch (2), Diligence (3). For any investor, there could be 2 colds, 2 pitches, etc. It’s not always 1 per intercation type. How might I go about deiving % of total interactions that converted into these two stages? NB: At this point in the client’s project, major restructuring of the base is not an option. Thanks friends!

Hi! I know this is very close to an IF formula, but my problem is that it’s a one to many, not a one to one relationship. I’m trying to avoid having to manually update who a manager supports every time that changes. So, in the screenshot below, I want a formula that can look to see where someone is listed as a direct support, and add the person who they support’s name into the “people they support” field. Is this possible?
