Formulas

I want to make a formula or automation to do the following task: Step 1 When a single or multiple select field has a status “Revisit” :two: Step 2 I need to automatically have a :four: Date 2 for the specific record with the status “Revisit” :two: , 30 calendar days after :three: Date 1. Note 1 The issue I face when trying to create a formula field is that the secondary date applies to all records, which I don’t want. Just for “Revisit” :two: . Note 2 I am not too sure if I can create conditional logic automation to perform this action. This is what I have attempted to no avail. Trigger When a record is updated with the status :two: “Revisit” Conditional Action If :three: Date 1 is not empty Update :four: Date 2 +30 Days Any Suggestions? This is the structure to the logic: :one: Address (Main) :two: Single or Multiple Select Field :three: Date 1 (European) :four: Da

Hi community! I am trying to track the status of payments which are made in multiple installments. For instance, we may make a payment for $400,000 but pay quarterly installments of $100,000. I would like to have the Total Paid field auto calculate using the payment schedule in the table. Total paid would equal {payment one} + {payment 2} + {payment 3} + {payment 4} but only when the corresponding payment status field has been marked as “complete” AND the corresponding payment date be in the current year (01/01/22-12/31/22). Any ideas? Thanks!

Hey guys, I’m having some troubles with the blank formula. I build this simple task-manager. The idea is that i can choose a task-startdate and choose with the single select the duration. Then I have a formula which counts based on the single select the right end-date. When there is no date, I get an error, which I would like to remove. This is the original formula for the end-date: IF(Block = "2 Std", DATEADD(Datum, 2, 'hour'), IF(Block = "4 Std", DATEADD(Datum, 4, 'hour'),IF(Block = "1 Std", DATEADD(Datum, 1, 'hour'),IF(Block = "8 Std", DATEADD(Datum, 8, 'hour'),IF(Block = "0,5 Std", DATEADD(Datum, 0.5, 'hour')))))) This is the one I tried with blank, but I’m doing something wrong here… IF(Block = "2 Std", DATEADD(Datum, 2, 'hour'), IF(Block = "4 Std", DATEADD(Datum, 4, 'h

Hi there, I would like to create a table to count and assign 25 holidays per year to employees. I’ve managed to create a formula that sums holidays excluding national holidays and weekends but I would like to create a field called “Days Left” with a formula that calculates the holidays left out of a 25 days yearly allowance. That would mean I would have to calculate something like this: 25 (days) - (minus) Sum of Holidays taken up-to-date from the period 1st Jan 2020 to 31 Dec 2020 Any help would be much appreciated

I teach a class where students have to share information in a daily form. They get credit for the number of days they submit a form, not for the total number of forms submitted. The form feeds a Daily Submissions table, which is linked to a Students table. Because I didn’t see something equivalent to Sheets/Excel COUNTUNIQUE in Airtable, I created a Pivot Table app in the Daily Submissions to calculate Days Shared. I’m trying to figure out whether I can pull the number of Days Shared from the Pivot Table app back into a field corresponding to that student in a table of students, so I can share a view of table that includes Days Shared. If that’s not possible, is there a way to count the unique days in a table without a pivot table? There is

Hi Can airtable fulfill my requirement? Please see the picture for specific examples. I need to reserve two decimal digits in the column of “Original Price” in the picture

Hello, community! I am using the free subscription for this table. In the form that I am creating from the table, I would like to add a section that will allow those filling out the form to be directed to an external link. (Ex: “Thank you for completing this form, if you would like to join our mailing list, please click (XX).” Our mailing list is held via another program.) I thought that the solution was to add a button and then have the button redirect to the external link. But that column does not show up in the form view (because I imagine it’s meant to support internal processes). Is there a way to do this? Thank you.

Hi there, I have a question for our PTO system. I like to calculate the workdays between the PTO startdate and enddate minus the holidays + non working days (for partime employees). I want to do this in a linked field because of large number of dates. But I constantly get an error when implementing. I’ve made a table for all days in the coming year I’ve made a lookup field referencing to this table. Then a field with a formula field WORKDAY_DIFF({startPTO}, {endPTO}, {Days in year}) I’ve also tried this advice from Justin_Barret

We have list of POCs for leads in Airtable. We want to create a formula and column that when ever a POC is assigned to the lead or for all the leads in the airtable having POC the column should generate the email respectively mapped to that POC.

HI, I am using airtable to plan out an event. I will be creating an app from the airtable data. On the schedule for the app, I want to have a short description that is one sentence long, then when you click on the details of a schedule item I want to see the full description. Ideally I would like to write the full description out and have the first sentence of the full description be copied into another cell to serve as the short description. For example: This would be the long description: Come to the Ice Cream Social to get to know your fellow attendees. The Ice Cream Social will be held in the blue building next to Hospitality. It is sponsored by ACME Products inc. This would be the short description (first sentence of above): Come to the Ice Cream Social to get to know your fellow attendees. I guess what I am looking for is a formula that would take everything up to the first period on the long description t

I’ve attached an image of a dummy setup. What I’m trying to do is combine the names from “Lookup Participants - Project 1” with the names from “Lookup Participants - Project 2” into one column (the “Combined Participants” column). My goal is to create a somewhat scalable research repository where each new research project will be able to feed into this “Master Takeaways” sheet, and participants that get tagged with the same “Main Takeaway” (column 1) will appear in the “combined participants” column and then the count in “total count of participants” will reflect that. (the count part, I can figure out, it’s mainly that first issue of getting the participants all into one column) This second image is what it ideally should look like: Please help! Ther

Hi guys, Anybody know a way to create proper request codes / references for each row. For example, my current system is to concantenate a Letter (‘S’ for example) with the product name, then place the year of the request, then add the autonumber ID for reference. So it comes out looking like: S-MOT-22-1. However, I would like the last number in this field to reset and start counting again at every new year, and maybe even with every product type. Ex: S-MOT-22-1 for the first MOT request of Jan 1 2022 & S-MOT-23-1 for the first MOT request of Jan 1 2023

My question has 2 parts to it. I need to check for a missing date in 8 columns (4 sets of Start and End Date) that has a start date or end date, but not the other. I use these columns to calculate vacation days used. So if someone inputs a start date but forgets to put a end date in, I want to show “Start or End Date Missing” instead of the calculation. This works so far for one start/end column pair. IF(LEN({Vacation Start 1})>0, IF(LEN({Vacation End 1})=0),“Missing a Start or End Date”, BLANK()) But I am looking to group all 8 columns to one answer like this IF(LEN({Vacation Start 1})>0, IF(LEN({Vacation End 1})=0,“Missing a Start or End Date”, BLANK()), IF(LEN({Vacation Start 2})>0, IF(LEN({Vacation End 2})=0,“Missing a Start or End Date”, BLANK()), IF(LEN({Vacation Start 3})>0, IF(LEN({Vacation End 3})=0,“Missing a Start or End Date”, BLANK()), IF(LEN({Vacation Start 4})>0, IF(LEN({Vacation End 4})=0,“Missing a Start or End

Hey all! I’ve asked the community in my recent post whether or not it is possible to “score” records based on the value in a multi-select field, and I also needed my formula to calculate the total for all values when the multi-select has 2 or more values. Here’s what @Justin_Barrett came up with and helped me a lot: IF(FIND("Global", Locale), 1) + IF(FIND("US", Locale), 0.9) + IF(FIND("UK", Locale), 0.9) + IF(FIND("DE", Locale), 0.7) + IF(FIND("CA", Locale), 0.8) + IF(FIND("FR", Locale), 0.7) + IF(FIND("ES", Locale), 0.6) + IF(FIND("MX", Locale), 0.6) + IF(FIND("BR", Locale), 0.6) + IF(FIND("AU", Locale), 0.6) + IF(FIND("IT", Locale), 0.6) The way that I expect my records to be scored has slightly changed as so I need to refine the formula - I don’t need it to put the values together, instead, I want it to return the biggest value from the list alone. Here’s an exampl

Hey people! I’m trying to “score” some of the records in my table, one of the columns represents a localization information about each record, e.g.: US UK DE Global CA FR ES MX BR AU IT Each localization adds up points to the final score: US - 0.9 UK - 0.9 DE - 0.7 Global - 1 CA - 0.8 FR - 0.7 ES - 0.6 MX - 0.6 BR - 0.6 AU - 0.6 IT - 0.6 The column which represents locales is actually a multi-select column, as my “records” can be present in multiple locations. My formula can already read the value in the Locale cell and add up the corresponding value to the final score, but how can I program it to see, that there are several values, and calculate them all together? Current formula: IF(Locale=“US”,0.9,(IF(Locale=“UK”,0.9,(IF(Locale=“DE”,0.7,…etc. Thank you!

My Current format is like this I want the format to be Shrink-General | 5 x RM-SHRINK 1 x RM-SLIP 1 x RM-BAREFOOT What is the formula for that?

I hope use this function in airtable… please help me out

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: ”.

For whatever reason, I cannot add text to a formula, even using the same formula I have running in other bases. Basically, I want the formula to return to values with a hyphen or colon between the two. I have two variables, Color (single-line text) and Brand (single select), and I want it to return like “Color - Brand” or Color: Brand.” I have tried the following formulas: Color & “ - “ & Brand Color & ‘ - ‘ & Brand Concatenate(Color, " - " , Brand) Concatenate(Color, ’ - ’ , Brand" Each of these returns an error for an invalid formula. And, as I said, I have another base with an effectively identical formula and it works with no problems. Further, I have tried moving the hyphen elsewhere and I’ve tried using different characters, none of which works. For example, if I just try to add a random word to the end of the formula, like the one below, I get the same error: Color & Brand & “randomword” Concatenate(Color

Hey Everyone: I have a table that links items to form submissions. I already have a link to see each item and all the form submissions that include that item. I also have a lookup that looks up the dates of the form submissions in the link to forms. I want to take that lookup and run a formula to count all the form submissions from today’s date. Any ideas?

I was able to do a simple subtracting formula to show amount owed and amount paid and balance remaining. Is there a way to expand on that formula to include when interest is charged so that it can be added to the balance? I want to have a more accurate picture of my financial spending. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hello! I have a Jotform survey automatically going into Airtable. Some of the questions have “Check all that apply” with an “Other” response that prompts a free form answer. These free form responses are being added as multi-select option in Airtable (rightfully so). I’m trying to do an Airtable Interface on the survey responses but, obviously, those free form responses are being considered. In a column, I want the options and replacing the free form response with “Other”. Then in a separate column track the free form response (just so that data isn’t lost). Any ideas? This is essentially what I’m trying to do: The “Name” and “Q1 Answers” field is the only thing imported with survey responses.

Hello, I am new to this software but have written a pretty functional Airtable to keep track of the UK 50p coins I am collecting. I’m able to add costs and dates and photos and descriptions and have even been able to add columns up at the bottom using the Filled option. I have three columns (16, 33, 7) which I would now like to add together to give a total of coins. I would then like to multiply that number by .50 to give me the bare minimum value of my collection. I think it ought to be simple but I am held back by lack of knowledge of basic formulas and would really appreciate any help the community could give me.

Background: I have a table that includes a list of activities each customer has done. So there unique value is a random “Event ID”, another column is “Customer ID” and a third column is called “Activity Type.” I need to find a way to count how many times a Customer has done a certain Activity Type and then be able to use that formula to create a notification when a customer has their FIRST activity (first appears in the table.) The table is populated via API, so it’s not as simple as just knowing I did it. I found a Pivot table that can just give me the counts of Activity Type by Customer, but you can’t act on any of the information in that table. So essentially I need a way to find any time a new record is created that contains a unique Customer ID that does not exist yet in the table. TL,DR: I need a way to answer the question “Tell me when a new client has their first activity”.

Hello, I am horrible at formulas and it’s really becoming a frustration as I continue to learn Airtable. I am wanting to create a status in the formula field to then automate an email trigger. The formula needs to update to either 60-days or 30-days based on the contract end date. I already have fields for the start date and end date so the formula can work with either. Seems simple enough but I am a struggle bus. What formula do I need to enter? If we are 60-days out from the contract ending, update the status to 60-days, and if we a 30-days from the contract ending, update the status to 30-days. Start with IF(AND(, correct? IF(AND({Contract End Date} …blank stare…, “60-days”), repeat blank stare, “30-days”) Help :weary:
