Formulas

I want to find a way to automatically mark a record as “Used” if it is linked to another table. Is there a formula for an IF statement for “IF a field has information in it (if it’s NOT empty), add “Used”” Right now I have the following, but I’m receiving an invalid formula error message: IF({field}, “USED” Thanks in advance!

Hi! How do I format total cost with if the checkbox is checked it multiplies the cost by 50% and if the checkbox is unchecked, it keeps the full total amount? Example: cost= $100, if I check the checkbox it totals the cost to 100*.50= $50; if the box is unchecked it totals the cost to $100

Can you help me ? Thanks !!

Hi! I’ ve encountered a possible Airtable quirk and was wondering if anyone has a hint how to work around it. I have a Long Text Field with RTF enabled. In this field I have RTF formated text / Markdown text. In a formula field I’m trying to search this field for Blood Type: AB and if found output AB. Nothing strange so far. Only issue is that no such instance is found and the cell remains empty. I have tried IF( FIND('Blood Type: AB',{Profile}), 'AB' ) and IF( REGEX_MATCH({Profile}, 'Blood Type: AB'), 'AB' ) As I figure that it’s the markdown messing with it I have also tested IF( FIND('**Blood Type:** AB',{Profile}), 'AB' ) and IF( REGEX_MATCH({Profile}, '**Blood Type:** AB'), 'AB' ) and IF( FIND('__Blood Type:__ AB',{Profile}), 'AB' ) and IF( REGEX_MATCH({Profile}, '__Blood Type:__ AB'), 'AB' ) I even tested adding a &'' at the end of the field name, just in wild fishing/testing effort. No luck. Does anyone know how to do this? If I change the text to ‘n

Hi! I have a base with quite a bit of Korean names in it. As the names often have a few different ways of romanization I have a field for alternative romanized spellings; {Alternative Spelling(-s)}. What complicates it further is that each romaization can be formated in three ways. Format 1: Name with only spaces, e.g. Park Bo Young Format 2: Name with a hyphen in the second ‘space position’, e.g. Park Bo-Young Format 3: Name with space only between first and last name, e.g. Park Boyoung I need to be able to search by any of these format versions and thereby need them all listed in a field. Today I do this manually, but I figure there’s a way of doing this with a formula with possibly some regex in there. It’s above my current knowledge to 1) figure out the best path to do this and 2) get all the wrappings and or syntaxes in the right position, so I seek help figuring this one out. Each alternative spelling is always separated with ; I need a formula that takes each name separated by ;

Hi there! I’m losing my mind trying to figure out a formula for something I thought would be quite simple. Basically I have one field into which we input a URL (which comes from our CRM). I want to extract a particular portion of this and then add it to text in another field. To explain: The original field might have something like the below: https://author-p4650.adobeaemcloud.com/editor.html/content/dd/au/en/the-project/**about-us/our-favourite-restaurants-with-a-view**.html I’d like to extract just the section in bold and add it to the following: https://www.danmurphys.com.au/the-project/ to create the below in the formula field: https://www.danmurphys.com.au/the-project/about-us/our-favourite-restaurants-with-a-view I’m not super well versed in formula writing but have tried quite a few things. While the first portion of the original string (ending with “the-project/”) is always that exact number of characters (80 in this example), the issue I keep having is that the portion I want

Hi team, I’m hoping for some help. I am trying to work out the number of weeks between 2 dates. It keeps returning the results Nan and I have no idea what I am doing wrong. Here is the formula I am using. I want to know how many weeks between “Cancel Date” and “Sale Date”. If anyone could give some input or advise it would be massively appreciated. Thanks DATETIME_DIFF( {Cancel Date}, {Sale Date (from Sales)}, ‘weeks’ )

Hi all! So I’m trying to make things a little easier for our Training Team and automating their Class Agenda creation process. Currently I have 3 tables in the base: Classes, Agendas, and Class Agenda Templates. Using automations, I am able to select a template in the Classes table (through a linked record field) that generates all agenda items for the given class in the Agenda table. Each agenda item created is also linked to the specific class through the linked record field. I’ve gotten as far as you can see in the screenshot of the Agenda table below. I’m trying to figure out a solution that will allow me to use the Start Time (given) of the first Agenda Item along with the Duration field to generate the start and end time for each topic throughout the day. I’m aware that I will most likely need to create and use formula fields as well. Any help is appreciated!

I have a very predictable set of data across multiple tables. There is one table where a person can request a room for a meeting. If the room for the meeting is more than 30 minutes I run automation to make sure the next 30 minutes time period is assigned and link it back to the original request. This results in a LookUp field called Timeslots that has two results 30 minute period 1 w/ Date & 30 minute period 2 with date. For the next step I need to take 30 minute period 1 w/ date and use that info to Schedule the meeting in my cal. the result is always hh:mm mm/dd/yyyy I am stuck trying to figure out how to extract just that first 30 minute entry from the look up datetime format it.

Hey, I’m looking for a solution to choose the random row from another table. Here’s my scenario: 2 tables. One has text data, the other has just two columns: ID and Attachment (in this case it’s a png file). I want to create a lookup filed to pull the attachment, but I want this lookup to pull the RANDOM ID out of finite number of rows (like 10 in my example). I could do that in Excel by combining VLOOKUP with RANDBETWEEN functions, but how to I do that in Airtable? Thanks!

Am unsure how to best evaluate an impact range. Three attempt below. Would appreciate help to divine practical solution. Thanks in advance. Impact Assessment No Impact, 0 - .9 Very low Impact, 1 - 1.9 Low Impact, 2 - 2.9 Medium Impact, 3 - 3.9 High Impact, 4 - 4.9 Very High Impact, 5 I thought to evaluate and have tried these: Attempt1, cannot get beyond first set of IF(OR IF( OR({xf.Impact Score Average}=0,“No Impact”, {xf.Impact Score Average}<=1),“No Impact”, IF( OR( {xf.Impact Score Average}=1,“Very Low Impact”, {xf.Impact Score Average}<=2),“Very Low Impact”,“X”)) Attempt 2, does not appear to work IF({xf.Impact Score Average}>0 <1,“No Impact”,“XX”) Alternative 3, Appears to work but bit cumbersome IF({xf.Impact Score Average}=0,“No Impact”, IF({xf.Impact Score Average}=0.1,“No Impact”, IF({xf.Impact Score Average}=0.2,“No Impact”, IF({xf.Impact Score Average}=0.3,“No Impact”, IF({xf.Impact Score Average}=0.4,“No Impact”, IF({xf.Impact Score Average}=0.5,“No Impact”, I

Hello everyone, I am trying to use workday_diff function to calculate whether my team is able to process orders within specified TAT or not. and hence needs to calculate workdays. We have a column that tracks date created ({Date Created})for any order and another column that tracks last modified time to track how much time we took to finish the order ({Date Completed}). Hence the formula is : WORKDAY_DIFF({Date Created},{Date Completed}) But the output counts weekends too and the output is same as using DATETIME_DIFF. Please help me figure it out.

Hi - I’m trying to track spending for various entities by date, to allow the creation of a chart of spending by month. Our database has a list of Advertisers. And each of those Advertisers is linked to many Advertisements. Each Advertisement has already been assigned a dollar value and each record also has a date. How would I create a chart for each advertiser for what they’ve spent in a given date range — ideally by month and/or quarter? I’ve been able to create a cumulative sum of ad spending per Advertiser, but I’m stumped on breaking it down by month. Any help much appreciated! Thanks!

Hi there, Not sure if anyone can help me out on how to write the following formula: I have a column with Template ID’s that should be translated to what type of Template they are. I assume i need to write an IF template ID = 1 2 or 3 then show ‘thisword’ and if template ID = 4 5 or 6 then show ‘thatword’ but i have no idea how to write that formula. Im new to this so any help would be hugely appreciated. Looking forward to solving this!

Thank you in advance for your help! I have two columns with dates related to when students passed quizzes. For those that pass Quiz 1, we have a date and nothing in the column for Quiz 2, which would be a second attempt to pass the course. I’d like to create a third column where it contains the pass date from either Column 1 or Column 2. I’m not finding the right combination for a formula. I’d appreciate some help. I’m also not sure how to write a value for saying that any date is ok, and that any cell that doesn’t have a date can be skipped. I’ve tried something like this but it’s totally wrong, and I’m missing how to write any date rather than specifying an exact date too. IF(OR({Quiz 1: Date}=“Date”,{Quiz 2: Result}=“Date”),“Date”,“Date”)

Hello! Is it possible to create a roll-up based on the value of another field? Conditional roll-ups won’t do the trick, because I’d like to the value to be ‘variable’, and not fixed. Is this possible with a formula within the aggregate field? Or any other suggestions? I guess the needed functionality looks a lot like “sum-if” from Excel? Thanks! Dennis

If I want to specify the last day of the current month in a cell as a date, what is the syntax? In Google Sheets & MS Excel it is EOMONTH (End Of Month). EDIT - HERE IS THE FORMULA - THANKS KAMILLE & JUSTIN DATETIME_FORMAT( DATEADD( DATETIME_PARSE( DATETIME_FORMAT( TODAY(), 'YYYY' ) & '-' & (VALUE( DATETIME_FORMAT( TODAY(), 'MM' ) ) + 1) & '-01', 'YYYY-MM-DD' ) , -1, 'day' ) , "MM-DD-YY" )

No matter what I try, Airtable will not allow me to display a latest linked record in the primary field. All attempts end with circular reference errors. Table structure: Company name < primary, formula > ( {current name} ) company names [1:n] < linked > related to Company Name current name < conditional lookup > from {company names} ( {if latest} = 1 ) ... Company Name name < text > company [n:1] < linked field > related to Company if latest < formula > ( IF {start date} = {latest start date}, TRUE() ) ... I’m running out of ideas. As soon as I use company names in conditional context with if latest, I don’t get the value into the primary field. It also doesn’t matter if I evaluate current name in the Company table as shown in the example or in the Company Name table and use a normal unconditional lookup. It can’t be that you have to use an automation for such a trivial thing!? I would be happy if someone knows a solution.

Hey there, I wondered whether a formula could be employed to detect broken PDF attachments? Due to an unknown error, some attachments are broken and I’m looking for a way to detect those.
