Formulas

This is not actually the context of what I’ll be using this for but rather than explaining what we do, I figure it’d be better to compare it to the old math question which is… If I have someone that has 5 shirts, 5 pairs of pants, and 5 pairs of shoes we need to cleanly display all the options and print them into different fields. I’m wondering if this is doable, if so, what would my setup need to look like assuming the columns I’d start with in this example would be shirts, pants, and shoes? Thanks in advance!

I have a table which has a Payout Month Column, which is a formula: DATETIME_FORMAT({Check-in date}, 'MMMM') How can I add the month number in front of the Month word (ie: 1 Jan)?

Hello all, I’m trying to figure it out for weeks to solve this problem. Base A : I want to get address data (zip code) + buying rate from this base Base B : I want to get address data (zip code) + selling rate from this base Base C: When I write that specific address/zip code and it matches with the address in Base A and Base B, I want to see buying rate and selling rate in separate columns automatically. So it is like; zip code base A + zip code base B = buying rate base A + selling rate base B in base C That would be great if you could help me to solve this issue because I’m about to lose my mind :slightly_smiling_face: What is the right way to do it? Is it by a formula? Is it by something else? Please help me. Thank you.

Hey there I still don’t get AirTable to the fullest and would appreciate some help. I got a database with Birth Dates and managed to find out peoples ages with the TONOW formula. I would want a second row telling me wether the Date filed is more then 4380 days ago or not. I tried something like IF(Date > 4380 days ago , “True”, “Not True”) As this does not work - what can I do instead? Thx for any hint.

Hi! I am working on a contract template, where one of the dynamic fields pulled from AT is the duration of the contract, expressed in the following manner: The initial term of this Agreement shall be for a period of 2 months and 5 days, commencing on… I have a basic formula that allows me to extract an amount of time as a single term (1 month), but it’s not smart enough to say something like 1 month and 5 days. Basically, I don’t know how to add the remaining days. Here is my current formula: IF( {End Date & Time}="", "", IF( DATETIME_DIFF( {End Date & Time}, {Start Date & Time}, 'months' )=1, DATETIME_DIFF( {End Date & Time}, {Start Date & Time}, 'months' ) & " month", IF( DATETIME_DIFF( {End Date & Time}, {Start Date & Time}, 'months' )=0, IF( DATETIME_DIFF( {End Date &amp

dear airtable community, i would like to create a formula that sums up the size of the identical item. in the screenshot you will see, that every record has only one size, even though its sometimes the identical sneaker. i want it to be: “dunk low disrupt 2 pale ivory black” : 39 EU - 8W US [case 1: only one record with the title - nothing should be changed, just display the available size] “dunk low light violet (venice)” : 38 EU - 7W US [case 2: multiple records with the same title, but with the identical size - only one record should include the size they all share and the others should be empty] “dunk low two tone grey” : 38 EU - 5.5Y US / 44 EU - 10 US [case 3: multiple records with the same title, but with different sizes - only one record should include all the sizes which are seperated with a " / " and the others should be empty. if anyone of you could help me with this challenge i would highly appreciate it, i hope i described the requirements understandable, if not feel

Hi. Im brand new to AT. Im pretty good with Excel formulas but need to learn AT. I need a formula in “Prep Start” that will duplicate “Job Start” without the time. Thank you!

Hi team! I have a table A with a column called “Offer Amount”. I want to create a table B which will have a cell containing the max(tableA’s OfferAmount), that gets updated each time a new record is created in table A. Is this possible on airtable? The background is that I want to send the current highest Offer Amount (out of all the records on table A) to a webpage on builder.io via zapier (hopefully) each time a new record is submitted to table A. The records are inserted into Airtable table A from a form on builder.io via zapier.

I have a list of tasks in my table and a date range for each task. The date ranges are entered into two different columns, Start Date and End Date. Each of those are formatted as dates. I’d like another column to list all the months that are included in that ranges of dates. So for example, if Start Date is Jan 1, 2020 and End Date is April 30, 2020, I’d like the Months column to list Jan 20, Feb 20, March 20, April 20. Is there a formula for this?

Hi there, I need to calculate the difference between the {Date} and today in days, and display “todo” or nothing if the number of days is >1. I tried this but I keep having errors : IF(DATETIME_DIFF({Date}, TODAY(), ‘days’)>1),“To do”, " ") Any ideas?

I’m trying to workout a formula to identify a text field that starts with “The”, or “A”, and move the “The” or “A” to the end of the text string with a comma. So if the field said The Blue Book, I want it to say Blue Book, The Or at the very least I want to delete “The” or “A” from the start of the text string, but not from Elsewhere in the string. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hello- I am looking to extract a specific file saved art image as “FINAL” when we have 10 plus revisions in one field/cell. Meaning the designers have revisions of art file attachments and I want to create a button based on the file type URL that only contains the word FINAL in the saved attachment. RIGHT(LEFT({ART FILES}, LEN({ART FILES}) - 1), LEN(LEFT({ART FILES}, LEN({ART FILES}) - 1)) - SEARCH(“https://”, {ART FILES}) + 1) How do I have it only find the word FINAL and create only the button URL link to that file only. Thanks! Scott

Hello! I have an automation that populates numbers separated by commas in the same entry. Example: 12, 12, 12, 8 I want to create a field that will tell me the sum of these numbers, essentially replacing the commas with +. When I do this using the SUM function, it returns 0 likely because of the commas. Is there an easy way of doing this?

Basically, if a field has an extra space at the beginning or end from human error, I want to automatically remove it. Also, is there a way to flag a field that has extra spaces? Some kind of data validation when adding to the field?

Hi there, I am creating a participation tracker that I can use for an upcoming project. The concept: There are 10 different groups, and each group can have 3-10 members. One “leadership” group contains at least one member from each of the other groups, so theoretically each member can belong to up to 2 groups. I have used a many-to-many relationship to link members to groups. Here is what I have: A table that lists all members with their group(s)(& other pertinent info) A table that lists all groups with their members (& other pertinent info) A table that lists all meetings with the members that attended and their group(s) as a lookup field A table that lists all emails and phone calls with the member they’re with and their group(s) as a lookup field What I need: identify how many times a group has participated in some way (meeting, email, or phone call) identify which groups did not attend each meeting identify how many meetings a group has attended A group “attends” a mee

Hey there i am pretty new to AirTable and its formulas - and I am not a programming genius. Is have a long list of people, with all kind of data. This includes the date of birth. I am trying to generate a daily number of people who are above or below 12 years of age. I played around with sorting lists a bit and managed to do 2 views - one with adults (born 4380 days ago or before that) and minors (born within the last 4380 days). Is there a more clever way? I would actually prefer to do a new table telling me how many of which I got in my list. Any help would be great. Thx.

Hello! I am trying to set up a timesheet in Airtable and I want a formula or automation to assign a new pay period every two weeks. I don’t care if it is just a number (pay period= 1,2,3,4…etc.) or a single select field or something else! I just need to indicate a change in the default entry every two weeks. My first thought was to set up an automation and set the trigger as a scheduled time (every two weeks). But, I keep hitting a roadblock when trying to set up the action. I do not want to FIND, UPDATE, or even CREATE records… I just want the default field entry for new records to change every two weeks. In my mind, the sentence would be “Every two weeks, add 1 to the pay period number.” Any thoughts on how to get this done?? Thanks to anyone in advance!

I have a field called: Branch Name I need to extract text from it using a formula field. I’m just not sure how. Examples of data in the field: #2828 - Clarksville Branch - Clarksville, TN #4109 - Aiken Branch - Aiken, SC What I need to extract: Clarksville Branch Aiken Branch I tried this formula, but it doesn’t work (returns #ERROR!) and I don’t know enough about REGEX to troubleshoot: REGEX_MATCH({Branch Name}, '/(?<=-).*(?=-)/g')

Hello people, I’m really new to all this, so this might be a stupid question. I want to retrieve AirTable data from my table, filtered by two variables (problem, severity). Based on these two values, the code should give back individual help offerings. But it seems that I can only filter by one variable using “filterbyformula”. Using two it gives back that the request is invalid. Is my syntax just wrong or is it even possible to filter by two variables? data = { "filterByFormula": [f"problem = '{mood}'", f"severity = '{severity}'"], "fields": ["help"] } thank you so much!

I would like the formula to be able to identify the client by field {Rodzaj usługi}. If the client would be (in the {Rodzaj usługi}) “Fotografia ślubna” then I would like {Status} to show “ :heavy_check_mark: ” only if the {Odbitki}, {Album}, {Galeria internetowa}, {Selekcja zdjęć}, {Zwiastun}, {Obróbka zdjęć} fields will be filled with the word “Oddane”. Otherwise, the {Status} field should show “ :x: ". When the client would be (in the {Rodzaj usługi}) “Film ślubny” then I would like {Status} to show “ :heavy_check_mark: ” only if the {Film wrzucony na dysk}, {Teledysk ślubny}, fields will be filled with the word “Oddane”. Otherwise, the {Status} field should show “ :x: ”. This formula works for two {Rodzaj usługi}. I would like to add one more “Service Type” on the same terms as the previous ones. Namely, “Ślub cywilny” If the client would be (in the {Rodzaj usługi}) “Ślub cywilny” then I would like {Status} to show “ :heavy_check_mark: ” only if the {Galeria internetowa}, {Selekcja

Hi I’m creating a tournament ranking system. I have a table for each tournament played and within each table, I list all the players and their individual scores and then their ranking position and ranking points for that tournament. On a separate “rankings” table, I list all the players and lookup their score, ranking points from each of the tournament table. I can then add the total ranking points across all tournaments and sort them by male/female/adult/senior categories. However, the end of season rankings after 8 tournaments will be based on a player’s best 5 results/points scores out of the eight events. Therefore, I need to take the 5 largest (not necessarily unique) points from the 8 fields. I’ve looked at various formulas to try and find the answer (similar to LARGE function in Excel), but I’m stumped. Does anyone know how to do this? Is the answer to structure my tables differently? I feel database design is always my downfall :frowning: Thanks in advance.

Is there an easy way to ‘calculate’ or combine Tags and Score, so I get row 1: “A7, B6, C5, D4, E3, F2, G1” and row 2: “C7, G6, F5, A4 E3, D2, B1”

Hey All, I’m struggling to build a formula in airtable for the following. I have a list of free text data in my column Source, where customers have put in on where they have found us, ranging from ‘Search engine’ to ‘Google’, 'Bing, ‘My friend James’, ‘A friend’, etc… I want to create a column that groups several of these free text entries together, so for example for ‘Search engine’ and ‘Google’ we return ‘search engine’ for all entries that contain the text ‘search’ or ‘google’ in column Marketing channel. (I know I won’t be able to capture all, but I can continue to build on this formula to include all) I tried a Switch formula, but that requires the text to be exact, and not ‘contains’. I tried an If Find formula, but i’m struggling to get the format right and I get a lot of errors. Could anyone help?
