Maybe the solution is a script, but I’m really after is the time in hours between two dates, but only the business hours. So Monday - Friday, 8.30am - 12.30pm and 1.30pm - 5.30pm. just to be clear: 23/6/2022 8:30AM - 23/6/2022 5:30PM. => 8 23/6/2022 8:30AM - 24/6/2022 12:30PM => 12 23/6/2022 8:30AM - 24/6/2022 5:30PM => 16 24/6/2022 8:30AM - 27/6/2022 12:30PM => 12 23/6/2022 8:30AM - 23/6/2022 5:30PM. the result of the formula should be 8 in this case start date and end date have 8 working hours the second one has this working hour: 23/6/2022 8:30AM - 23/6/2022 12:30AM 23/6/2022 1:30PM - 23/6/2022 5:30PM 24/6/2022 8:30AM - 24/6/2022 12:30PM in total 12 hours Do you have a solution for this? Is something like Microsoft project

I have a ‘Contact’ field with a value as follows MICHAEL Ashworth I have a formula field that I want to say the following: Hi Michael, Are you ready for something exciting… (etc.) How can I get only the first name (remove everything after the space) - and then capitalise only the first letter. Thank you!

Hi, This is my current formula for an If not blank > do this OR if blank > do this: IF({Discount}, {Brand} & " Discount Code: " & {Discount} &" off -", IF(NOT(Discount), {Brand}))& " "&{Product Title} But I would like to add another option that if {column} contains “FREE TRIAL” or “FREE SAMPLE” to do the same as the first line but without the '“off -”. So far I have this: IF({Discount}="FREE TRIAL", {Brand} & " Discount Code: " & {Discount} &" - " & {Product Title}, {Brand} & " Discount Code: " & {Discount} &" off -" & {Product Title}, IF(NOT({Discount}, {Brand}& " "&{Product Title}))) But it’s glitching and I know the formula isn’t correct but hopefully, someone can please help! :grinning_face_with_big_eyes: Thank you!

Hi everyone, I’m currently working on a base for my HR using KasPer lite HT base (thanks for creating it). I’ve managed (ish) to calculate the working days minus public holidays for a specified month. That said, I want now to calculate the number of working days - public holidays - employee leave for a specific month. For example, in June, you have 21 working days, employee 1 took 4 days off in June, so employee 1 worked 17 days… But I can’t figure out how to do it. Employee leave are registered in a simple absence table with the following fields : Employee Start date End Date Leave year start Leave year end … Sorry if it’s not cristal clear, I’m a beginner with Airtable, and I do not want to go back to Excel… Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

Hi - I’m looking to do an if and statement with two dates. If between X and Y date, then label it as “A” else “B”. But I am having trouble with finding the date value equivalent in airtable. In Excel I would do: IF(AND(CELL1>=DATEVALUE(“04/01/2020”), CELL2<=DATEVALUE(“03/31/2021”)),“FY21”, " ") But I can’t find the equivilant of that in airtable. I currently have the following where timestamp = my field IF(AND(Timestamp>=DATETIME_PARSE('04/01/2020'), Timestamp<=DATETIME_PARSE('03/31/2021')),"FY21", "")

I have 10 fields in a table, and some contain numbers and the others either a letter or a symbol, in the same table I would like to have another field that sums up the values of the numbers only in that record. Is there a simple way/formula to do this? Does Airtable have an equivalent formula to excel’s SUMPRODUCT & ISNUMBER? Best Ladi

I’m trying to set up an automation that will send an email reminder at a later date to complete a task. I have set up one column with “Due Date” another as “Today” and a third as “Send”. I have set up the following formula that when “Due Date” = “Today” it should put an “X” in the “Send” column. My automation is set to send the email when the “Send” field is updated with an X in it. Here is the formula: IF({Due Date} = {Today},“X”) It did not work. I also tried: IF(IS_SAME({Due Date},TODAY()),“X”) That didn’t work either. Just to test it, I tried: IF(IS_SAME({Due Date},TODAY()),“X”,“Y”) and then all the columns filled with Y, even the one where the Due Date matched Today. ???

Ok this seems pretty simple, but I just can’t get my head around it. I am new to formulas, so get the basics, but want to move beyond. Fields are - Member, Age, Clearance, Expiry, Valid, Current Member, Needs attention. Basically, if the Valid field is ‘not valid’ and the current member is ‘yes’ then the needs attention should be ‘yes’ However, if the member is not yet 18 then clearance etc is not required. So far I have IF( Age<18,“Not Required”, IF(AND(Age>17, Clearance,Expiry), “Valid”, “Not Valid”)) But I would like it to only be valid if the Expiry is after ‘today’. I really don’t know if I am explaining it well. I have created an example table here to help

I have the following formula field that works perfectly to set the Expiry Status. The problem with having a text Expiry Status is that I cannot use it for KANBAN views (and also it does not show in cool colors!). If I had a single select field for Expiry Status, would there be a way to have a formula that can change the value of the single select field instead of the formula that outputs the status as text? If not with a formula, is there a way for Automation to change the value of a single select field based on the logic I am using in the formula? The formula for the Expiry Status field: IF({Months for expiry}=BLANK() ,BLANK() ,IF({Months for expiry}>24 ,“More than 2 years valid” ,IF({Months for expiry}>12 ,“Less than 2 years valid” ,IF({Months for expiry}>6 ,“Less than 1 year valid” ,IF({Months for expiry}>3 ,“Less than 6 months valid” ,IF({Months for expiry}<0 ,“Expired” ,“Less than 3 months v

Not sure how to properly write this out in a formula. I’ve got it working with this one formula: IF({QTY Used in Part}=1000,“ :white_check_mark: Good :white_check_mark: ”,“ :red_circle: Incorrect :red_circle: ”) I’ve tried just using a bunch of IF statements, I’ve tried to make AND/OR work to no avail (probably not doing it right), I’ve read about Switch but am unsure of how to make it work for my needs - I have no idea where to go from here. Please help.

I’m using this filterByFormula which works perfectly fine based on date, but I want it to work based on hour as well. Just keep it the same way it is with hour functionality. filterByFormula=IS_AFTER(LAST_MODIFIED_TIME(), DATETIME_PARSE("6/18/2022", 'locale')) So for example for todays date which is 6/18/2022 be able to do 6/18/2022 20:00 What is the proper format to do it?

I have the following value 2022-06-01, 2022-12-05 and I need a formula that checks whether: 2022-06-01 is after TODAY() or 2022-12-05 is after TODAY() How can I do that? Doing that with a single date (e.g: 2022-06-01) is easy, but how can I handle that for a list? Note: 2022-06-01, 2022-12-05 is a rollup value of a one-to-many relationship, I don’t think I can use the relationship to perform any kind of calculation there, though. (I don’t see how that would help)

Hello everyone, :wave: I’m having some odd behaviour I can’t figure out. I have a formula rolling up invoices linked to a case. IF(Statut = "Clos et facturé",MAX(values),"Dossier ouvert") It does not work. The cell shows up empty when it should show the last invoice date. But if I try: MAX(values) It works. And if I try: IF(Statut = "Clos et facturé","test","Dossier ouvert") It works too. I’m puzzled as to why my first formula does not work. Thank you for your help, Joachim

I have two tables: Table A (i can modify it) Todo text (just a text field) Related Issue Title (linked table field) Related Issue Link (the field I’m questioning) Table B (can not create new fields) Title Description Status I know that there is a function RECORD_ID() which returns the current row’s record id. I also know that the link to the record looks like that: 'airtable.com/appxxxxxxxxx/tblxxxxxxxxx/viwxxxxxxxx/recxxxxxxxx' So I need to generate URLs to the Referenced Issue in a separate field in Table A I also can not enable the scripting app for this field because it’s disabled for security reasons by our admin :slightly_smiling_face: I expect the answer to be “it can not be done” but asking just in case…

Please look at my screenshot. The entries come in with the most recent at the bottom (date order). Is there any way to reverse the order so the most recent entry appears at the top? Thanks for any help!

Hi Community - I have a formula that performs a simple calculation by summing a series of cells. The challenge comes in that some of these cells contains text, rather than numbers. I would like the formula to ignore the text so that a total can be calculated. Currently, a ‘NaN’ is being returned. I attach an image of the cells that I am trying to calculate and the simple formula is: {1-Jul}+{4-Jul}+{4-Jul}+{5-Jul}+{6-Jul}+{7-Jul}+{8-Jul}+{11-Jul}+{12-Jul}+{13-Jul}+{14-Jul}+{15-Jul}+{18-Jul}+{19-Jul}+{20-Jul}+{21-Jul}+{22-Jul}+{25-Jul}+{26-Jul}+{27-Jul}+{28-Jul} Thanks in advance

Not sure this is possible but I can’t seem to get this to work when I add the second part. I have a formula that works this way 'If Base Rate = 0 and IF UM= “Pounds” then Weight / 2000 * Price, IF Base =0 and IF UM= “Kilograms” then Weight / 2200 * Price, IF Base Rate = 0 and IF UM = “Each” then “Price” I need to add this: 'IF Base Rate Not Equal to 0, and IF UM=“Pounds” then Set Weight/2000 * Price, IF Base Rate not eqaul to 0 and IF UM =“Kilograms” then Set Weight / 2200 * Price, If Base Rate not equal to 0 and If UM =“Each” then “Price” My Formula: IF({Base Rate } = 0,IF({UM} = “POUNDS”, ({Weight}/2000 * {Price}), IF({Base Rate UM} = “KILOGRAMS”, ({Weight}/2200 * {Price) , IF({UM} = “EACH”, {Price}, IF({Base Rate} !=0, IF({UM}= “POUNDS”, ({Set Weight}/2000 * {Price})… It computes the first part when the base rate is 0, but when the base rate is not 0, that part of the formula doesnt compute. Any insight would be appreciated.

Date fields and formula fields with dates are now formatting to center left of cell? There is no ability to adjust text placement that I can see so it now sits out of place with other cells data visually. its also annoying that some cells format top right, and others top left. Can we have formatting options for columns?

Hello everyone, I’m trying to separate firstname and lastname using formulas I found online. My issue is that some french name are like: John De Doe The first word is always the firstname, the rest is the lastname. I have this formula for firstname: IF({Nom complet}, REGEX_EXTRACT({Nom complet}, ".* ")) And I have this formula for lastname: IF({Nom complet}, REGEX_EXTRACT({Nom complet}, "\\s(.*)")) It outputs “John De” as firstname instead of “John”. and “De Doe” as lastname which is what I want. I need a formula to get first word (preferably using regex) that works with special characters. Thank you for your help, Joachim

Hello, all Airtablers, I’ve created a simple ‘Clocking In/Out’ Airtable for a colleague to track staff signing in and out. It uses a simple form where the user selects their name from a single select field and then selects either ‘In’ or ‘Out’ from another single select field and then submits the form. In the table itself, each member of staff should have an ‘In’ AND ‘Out’ record for each day with the automatically generated date and time. Now is there a way to calculate the difference on the ‘In’ and ‘Out’ times for that staff member for that day as the values are on different records?

Hello hello Airtable Fam. I have a question about formulas. So I have a “Due Date” field that I want to use as my constant to determine what Quarter of the year it’s in over 3 years. So I want a formula that will calculate: if the due date is between 1/1/2022 and 3/31/2022 that I’ll get a value of Q1 2022 OR if the due date is between 4/1/2022 and 6/30/2022 that I’ll get a value of Q2 2022 OR if the due date is between 7/1/2022 and 9/30/2022 that I’ll get a value of Q3 2022 OR if the due date is between 10/1/2022 and 12/31/2022 that I’ll get a value of Q4 2022 OR if the due date is between 1/1/2023 and 3/31/2023 that I’ll get a value of Q1 2023 OR if the due date is between 4/1/2023 and 6/30/2023 that I’ll get a value of Q2 2023 OR if the due date is between 7/1/2023 and 9/30/2023 that I’ll get a value of Q3 2023 OR if the due date is between 10/1/2023 and 12/31/2023 that I’ll get a value of Q4 2023 OR if the due date is between 1/1/2024

Hello, I’m creating a maintenance schedule but I’m having difficulties create a formula that shows me the “due status” based on how many days ago an item was serviced. Individual item have different frequency of service: Monthly, Quarterly, Annually, and so on. I have a single select field that dictate the frequency for each type or maintenance. I was able to create a formula to calculate cost using a base cost * how often we perform it, but I’m having trouble applying it to idea I’m trying to perform. What I’m trying to do is IF an item was serviced today, and its frequency is MONTHLY, It will be “On Time” for 30 days, by the 25th to 29th day it will “Be Due Soon”, On the 30th day it will be “Due today”, and on the 31st or passing

Is there a way to format the items in the rollup field to look like this (including brackets on either side): [“Choice1”,“Choice2”,“Choice3”,“Choice4”,“Choice5”] I have this formula but it does not work in a rollup field: '["' & SUBSTITUTE( Choices, ', ', '","' ) & '"]' Then I found this sample code: IF( ARRAYJOIN(values), "- " & ARRAYJOIN(values, "\n- ") ) But I can’t figure out how to combine them without an error. IF( ARRAYUNIQUE(values), '["' & ARRAYUNIQUE(values, ', ', '",") & '"]' ) All these “,”"’’ are making me go cross eyed. Please help me! :rofl:

I have a multi-select field that has a large number of choices. I have decided it would be better to separate them into different categories (fields). Is there a way to do this? I have a master list of choices in a separate table (if that helps). These choices have a name and a description and a category. Is it possible to do something like this: Category 1 Field Look at the main select fields and find all choices. Look at the master choice list and find the choice name that matches the category. Place the choice that matches the field category into the field. I am on a free plan and have no access to paid tools. Example base for explanation purposes: Airtable

Hi - I’m trying to set a due date that is two weeks out from a publish date on the nearest Thursday. Essentially, everything that is set to be published in week 25, should be due the Thursday of week 23. Does anyone have any hot tips on how to formulate this one?
