Hi, in a link to multiple records field, i collect several strings (image urls) to one product output of this field {Images} in page designer would be like “url1, url2, url3” I need to split these urls linewise in page designer, some boilerplate added, e.g.: “url1.jpg” “url2.jpg” “url3.jpg” While i have several ideas on how to solve this in the event of just one string, iterating the array of multiple records is a challenge (at least to me). Any ideas? Thanks in advance! Best Marcus

Hello! I am looking for help creating a formula for data entry automation. Screenshot 1: Table: Activities Category column: Multiple select Grants column: Links to another record Workplan project column: Links to another record Screenshot 2: Table: Grant 1 Deliverable: Long text Activities: not sure what field type to use, formula? Workplan projects: not sure what field type to use, formula? I will enter data in the “Activities” table, including 1 or more categories for each activity, 1 or more grants for each activity, and 1 or more workplan projects for each activity. In the example, I have titled the activity “test webinar” categorized it as “webinars” made it apply to “grant 1"” and “WP project 1.” Since it applies to Grant 1 and the “webinars” category, I would like it to then automatically enter the Activity Name under “Activities” in the “Grant 1” table in the “conduct at least 5 webinars” deliverable column. I would

Is it possible to edit a specific cell of one record in a particular formula field?I have, Contract Start Date and Contract End Date (formula of Start + 1 year). Some contracts are 18 months or 2 years. Can I adjust those specific instances accordingly? Thanks!

Hi there, I have accomplished a few formulas through my airtable base but I have trouble with this one: In a library, I want to return “not in stock” for items that are signed out and have not yet been returned. In writing this would be: If SignOutDate contains a value and ReturnDate contains no value, return “not in stock”, otherwise “available” IF( AND( {SignOutDate}<>””,{ReturnDate}=BLANK() ), ”notinstock”,”available” ) As I am new to the AND/IF business, I might have severe problems in here already? If not, could it be that the date fields are the problem, they are set as ISO? Any help highly appreciated. Best, Sisi

I’m trying to send an email (using Zapier) to a contact once a record has been on the page for 1 week. for example: someone submits a report- record is added. Once 1 week elapses a field changes to trigger a Zap to send an email to a contact. Any ideas of how?

I know that I am probably approaching this formula wrong, or maybe it isn’t possible with the way MIN()/Dates/Fields work in Airtable - but I figured I would ask the community for a little help on this one. Context: Need to assign work order due dates based off content Air Date. More specifically, I am trying to take the earliest date found for each month then subtract 28 weeks (dateadd -28 weeks), and use that Min Date - 28 weeks as the Work Order Due Date for every record that has an air date with the month that calculated it. Example: Record | Air Date | Work Order Due Record 1 | 04/22/2023 | 9/19/2022 Record 2 | 04/14/2023 | 9/19/2022 Record 3 | 04/03/2023 | 9/19/2022 Record 4 | 04/19/2023 | 9/19/2022 Record 5 | 07/22/2023 | 12/29/2022 Record 6 | 07/25/2023 |

This might be simple, but I fail to get my head around it. Help, please. We have 2 tables; Profile - name, image, etc Availability - date/time, profile linked record 13/2/2022 4:57pm 20/2/2022 4:57pm 23/2/2022 4:57pm 11/2/2022 4:58pm On Profile table, we need to roll up the Min(values), but only display date/time past NOW. If now date/time is 19/2/2022 4:45om the correct answer needs to be: 20/2/2022 4:57pm

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!

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: ”.
