Formulas

I am showing a database for timesheets. We collect data by day and by hour. But our administrative department processes the information by period. Sometimes some employees have outside contracts and so their hours change. The number of hours for a period goes from X to Y and back to X. For the moment, each case is automated according to conditions. (Information coming from the employers) But good boss, sometimes wants to change the total hours of a period directly and that all applies to the period. In the example, he wants to change directly the 70 and not the 7… any idea ?

Hello All! I’m using a formula to concatenate different dates an area was worked on as the record ID. In one tab I have all the offices and all of the associated data with them, and in the other I have a submissions page that’s linked to the office page. My problem is some of them concatenate as “AreaName” - Date and others are AreaName - Date. I have attached some screenshots for a visual. Thank you for your help!

Hi! I am trying to build a formula but I haven’t quite found the solution in the community. I have a table with different customers information, with fields such as “name”, “surname”, “email”, “phone”, “company”… I would like to create a separate table in which I can count how many customers I have from the same company. So let’s say I have: Table 1: customer 1 — Company A customer 2 — Company A customer 3 — Company B customer 4 — Company C customer 5 — Company C customer 6 — Company C In table 2, I would need to show: Company A — 2 Company B — 1 Company C — 3 I have the company field built as “single select”, since I work with a limited and specific list of companies. Not sure this makes any difference in terms of formulas. Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello Community! I am trying to figure out the following with a nested IF formula- returning a value based on the name of the project. I have 8 different projects to categorize into one of 3 categories. I keep getting an error message saying to check the formula - what am I doing wrong? IF({Project}=”Hours”,“Personnel”, IF({Project}=”Sales”,“Finance", IF({Project}=”Marketing A”,“Finance”, IF({Project}=”Marketing B”,“Finance”, IF({Project}=”Expenses”,“Finance”, IF({Project}=”Diversity”,“HR”, IF({Project}=”Life Event”,“HR”, IF({Project}=”Executive”,“HR”,"Unknown”)))))))) Thank you!

Hello community, my record has a date and looks up a roll-up like the below example. I’m trying to figure out the right formula to extract the string below: Rollup: …5. 04.05 Vila Falo,6. 05.05 Alvero,8. 07.05 Gjirokastra… Record date: 05.05 Current formula: MID({Rollup}&“”,FIND(DATETIME_FORMAT(Date,‘DD.MM’),{Rollup}&“”)+5,XXX) Output: Alvero,8. 07.05 Gjirokastra… Desired output: Alvero XXX is the part where my monkey brain fails to come up with a solution to determine the length of the string to be extracted. Your advice would be appreciated. :slightly_smiling_face:

Just started working with a dental lab and I’m trying to create a base for targeted outreach to dental offices. After being out in the field today I have entered my notes and assigned a rating to each office. I would like to use 4 stars or 5 stars ratings to trigger an email automation to respective teammates about these particular offices.

Hi!, I am trying to use the REGEX formula, but I cannot use it propertly. I need to extract names from a string. To make it easier the names are written after a hashtag #. This are examples #TOM write the essay of a client Complete the packing list for #Peter From an old post I managed to use this formula REGEX_EXTRACT({Transaction Name}, “#[^\s]+”)) written by Justin Barret This formula kind of works, but is giving me the answer with the hasthag in front #TOM #Peter I needed it without the hashtag. Any clue about how to do it? I am getting lots of trouble to understand the sintaxis of the REGEX formulas. Thanks!!

Is it possible to round up those really long decimals? Thank you!

I have been searching and searching but can’t quite find the answer. I have text strings in languages that are not Latin script. I see that languages aren’t supported, but that seems to be referring to the interface. I also see the set_locale function, but that seems only to work with datetime_format. Is there a way to set_locale for all of these languages for plain text? Currently, my long text fields are outputting a lot of garbage when I copy/paste into them. I tried converting to rich text, but this had the effect of chopping off half of the text. I also tried using set_locale with the appropriate language, but that just threw errors. Thanks!

I’ve been using Airtable for some years now and would consider myself pretty knowledgeable. However, I’ve never been able to figure out how to, or even whether, I can use the automated functions at the bottom any Base Window which gives a variety of information about the column above it, for eg. Sum, Average, Median, Min, Max etc. Is this possible, if so, how? Thanks.

For example, I have a date field, some of which are filled in, some of which are not. I want to make a second date field that is a time offset from the first. I want this formula field to stay in date format so it can be exported to a calendar, etc: However, when the first field is blank, the second field shows an error instead: How can I change my formula to output “absence of date” when the first field is blank? Using IF(BLANK( to return "" or 0 breaks the date formatting:

This is probably a stupid question, but why is my result not a number in the following If statement? IF({Course Order}>0,{Cost-1st Attendee}+{Cost-2nd Attendee}+{Cost-Additional Attendees}, “”) It actually works, but I can’t format it, and the Summary fields don’t work. When I click on the Formatting tab, I get the following message. “Your result type is not a number or a date. Formatting options are currently only available if your result type is a number or a date.” How can I get the results to be formatted as currency (I assume that fix will make the Summary fields work)?

I am working in a base built by someone else. There is a Leads and Clients table, a Products table and a Sales Log table. Product prices are listed in the Products table and I imagine this should feed into the Sales Log which is then linked to Leads and Clients. There is a rollup field for lifetime value in the Leads and Clients table but it’s not working. Unfortunately, I can’t see what it is supposedly rolling up so I can try and fix it. I know it’s pulling info from the Sales Log but how can I see exactly which field it’s rolling up so I can fix it?

I want to convert my Created Date field into Text like “Latest to Oldest” and “Oldest to Latest”. I have checked all previous articles and had tried DATETIME_FORMAT and SET_TIMEZONE but it doesn’t return text it returns time.

Hi there, I want to return a value of “Morning news” when the time from a live date falls between 5AM and 9AM. This needs to be irrespective of date, so I made a field that parses the time from the live date field. Currently I’ve got: IF(AND(VALUE(DATETIME_FORMAT({ADMIN - Time},‘Hmmss’)) <90100, VALUE(DATETIME_FORMAT({ADMIN - Time},‘Hmmss’)) >45900), “Morning news”, “Other”) But that’s returning an error. I tried it without the Value parameters too.

I have a To-Do List sorted by department with the estimated time to complete each task in a daily view. I want to surface the time left to complete tasks marked in progress, not started, pending. Is there an easy trick I’m missing?

I’m trying to figure out this formula, which I based on a different formula that I got to work successfully, but am hitting a wall. Basically, I want the formula to reference 4 date fields (Edit Start, Format Start, Production Date/Time, and Ship Date). If there are values in any of those fields, I want it to return, as a string, the date, and either "Edit Start: ", "Format Start: ", "Production Start: ", and/or "Ship Date: " ahead of each date, as applicable. So, a full string with all dates filled in should look like: Edit Start: XX/XX/XX; Format Start: XX/XX/XX; Production Start: XX/XX/XX; Ship Date: XX/XX/XX However, one or more of these date fields may be empty at any given time, so I want the text string to adjust accordingly and not show the lead-in if the corresponding date field is empty. Here’s my attempt, which won’t compute. “Edit Start: ” & DATETIME_FORMAT({Edit Start}, ‘L’ ) & IF(AND({Edit Start}, OR({F

Hi, I have a question about formulas, I have a longtext field extracted from an Email Body and I would like to find inside this field if there is any mail marked like this : “From : email@domain.com” and extract just the mail to put it in. For information, I don’t know the line in question, it may have text after the email and the domains are not the same. I have tried Regex but I have not succeed. Thanks

Hi all, I’m trying to email multiple people in a record with a button field. I’ve almost got it but when I can manage to get both email addresses to show up, they are joined together and the second email address is a bit off using a % instead of the @ (although I think if I could separate them it would resolve). This is what I’m using: “mailto:”& ENCODE_URL_COMPONENT(ARRAYJOIN({Seller 1 email})& ENCODE_URL_COMPONENT(ARRAYJOIN({Seller 2 Email}))) & “?subject=” & Property I’m trying to paste an image but I can’t see in this email draft… How do I get the addresses to be separated? I’ve tried all I know how to do, quotes, commas, semi colons…I’m at a loss. The other piece is the cc portion which I’ve only seen gmail exam

Hello, I am trying to assign the correct Payment Standard to our unit rent increase tracker. CR Approvals is one table. Payment Standard is my other table I am trying to figure out if there is a way to automatically updating the PS in the CR table with the correct Payment Standard listed on the other table based on the city, effective date and the BR fields. So a 1 BR, effective for 7/1/2022 in Boston would be assigned a PS of $2383.00. I feel like this is an exercise that would work in Excel with a XLookup type of function or something but I am not sure how to make this work on Airtable. Any thoughts?

is there a formula limit in airtable? i wish to compute for the payment rental reminder. could be every 2 months or every 3 months. but upon saving, airtable is shortening it to half of what i type. what’s happening? IF(AND(FIND(“Bank Transfer Regular”, {Payment Term}), Status= “Active”),SWITCH(AND(FIND(“2 months advance”, {Payment Term}),{Contract Start}< DATEADD({Contract Start}, 2, ‘month’)), DATETIME_FORMAT(DATEADD({Contract Start}, 2, ‘month’),‘MM-DD-YYYY’)), SWITCH(AND(FIND(“2 months advance”, {Payment Term}),TODAY()> DATEADD({Contract Start}, 2, ‘month’), (TODAY()< DATEADD({Contract Start}, 4, ‘month’))), DATETIME_FORMAT(DATEADD({Contract Start}, 4, ‘month’),‘MM-DD-YYYY’)),SWITCH(AND(FIND(“2 months advance”, {Payment Term}),TODAY()> DATEADD({Contract Start}, 4, ‘month’), (TODAY()< DATEADD({Contract Start}, 6, ‘month’))), DATETIME_FORMAT(DATEADD({Contract Start}, 6, ‘month’),‘MM-DD-YYYY’)), SWITCH(AND(FIND(“2 months advance”, {Payment Term}),TODAY()&g

I’ve seen one or two topics touching on this, hoping to see if there is a workaround here. Using DATETIME DIFF appears to be rounding down the resulting unit by default. For example, calculating the number of months between 1/1/2015 and 12/31/2015 results in “11.0” with no possible means to round up to the more accurate “12” due to the result being rounded down. Is there a possible workaround for this that is capable of producing a value (maybe “11.9”?) that can then be used in conjunction with ROUNDUP to round up to the nearest whole number?

After I set up a default value for regular number field, when new records generated the field still show blank, instead of default value. Am I doing something wrong?

Hello! Do you guys know if it’s possible to create a formula that return a rate (1 to 3) IF: in the field {name field}, there are both “option1” AND “option2” = 3 in the field {name field}, there is only “option1” = 2 in the field {name field}, there are no “option1” OR “option2” = 1 I tried to use IF, FIND, AND, OR but I couldn’t do it :frowning: Thanks for support!
