Formulas

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:

Hello Community! I need to calculate the score of a record based on that record’s numeric value. My records’ numeric values can be anywhere between 1 and 100, and I need to set a score between 1 and 10 to each value based on how high that value is, like so: 1-3 => 1 3-5 => 2 5-10 => 3 10-20 =>4… you get the idea My problem is with setting up a formula - whet I try to set it like this: IF(Value>1,1,(IF(Value>3,2,… etc. the result only reads the first parameter (value>1 => returns 1) and it doesn’t compute when the value of the record is more than 3, it still returns me 1. How can that be fixed?

Hey there…look for assistance with formula that uses the TODAY() function with a set time. I.e. I want the field to have the current date but with a set time so that it would show for example the current date that updates each day but always has 12:00 PM. Thanks in advance for help

Hi there! Looking for assistance on a project management table. Each project will have a Project Type, Review Date and Delivery Date. There are three potential Project Types (Lead/Partner/Advise), the Delivery Date is a manual entry, and the Review Date needs to change based on the Project Type. Problem: 1) I keep getting an invalid formula notification, 2) I’d really like the review date to only land on weekdays/workdays but the formula needs to account for weeks out, not days out. Additionally, I’ll be duplicating this formula for various types of Review Dates, and sometimes based on Project Type, I’ll need the answer returned to simply be “Blank”. Here is the nested IF statement I am attempting. IF({PROJECT APPROACH} = “LEAD”, DATEADD({DELIVERY DATE},-15,‘WEEK’), IF({PROJECT APPROACH} = “PARTNER”, DATEADD({DELIVERY DATE},-14,‘WEEK’), IF({PROJECT APPROACH} = “ADVISE”, DATEADD({DELIVERY DATE},-13,‘WEEK’),’ ))) Would really appreciat

So I’m not sure how to ask it differently, but if I were to try, here it goes. NEW to Airtable (so TY for being patient & detailed) So I have a base with three tables in it, Customers, Vehicles & Sales. I’m trying to collect all of the sales for each customer. All of the tables are linked, and I have been able to bring each of the sales into one cell (example: $0.00, $170.00, $125.00). But now I need to total those numbers! Any help would be greatly appreciated! DG

Hi all, Trying to make an interface with a “maximum possible spend” for each project launch day. Projects launch twice a week and run from 2 days to 15 days. I need to find a way to ask the question “Is this project still running next Tuesday” and “is the project still running next Friday”. Does anyone know where to start? I’ve tried a few things, I’ve tried lots of nested if statements, but I’m truly stumped. EDIT: A better way of formatting the question is “Will this product still be available for purchase next Tuesday/Friday” as two separate columns with a true/false value.

Please could you help me to understand how to make this work? Thank you! IF(NOW(IS_AFTER({Announcement Start Date}&IS_BEFORE({Announcement End Date}, ‘ACTIVE’, ‘INACTIVE’))))

Hi there, I want to create a field that gives a different message to the user, depending on whether they have filled in a particular field ‘on time’ or not. I’ve attempted to explain it in text. If anyone could suggest the functions I need to use, I would really appreciate it. The problem for me is a. how to say ‘IF time is less than 5 minutes towards the time in the field OR IF time is more than 3 hours after time in field’ and to link that to b. ‘… AND field x has not been filled in THEN ‘show message a’’ and c. linking several options together (x3 optional messages). IF time is less than 5 minutes before end of lesson AND there is nothing in lesson reports field THEN “Please enter your lesson report, concrete targets and homework now” OR (IF time more than 3 hours after the lesson end time AND there is nothing in the lesson report field THEN “Your lesson report is late. Please enter your lesson report, concrete targets and homework no

hey community, I’m working on this formula to return a simple “Y” or “N” based on whether or not a date is past. The items in the grid could either be on a single date, or could have both a start date and an end date. I’ve tried a couple different ways of writing this formula but getting a lot of errors. What I’d like to do is: “if the end date field is empty, determine whether or not the event is in the past based on the start date field; otherwise [if the end date field has a date], determine whether or not the event is in the past based on the end date field.” Here’s what I’ve got: IF({End Date} = "", IF(IS_AFTER(TODAY(), {Start Date}), "Y", "N")), IF(IS_AFTER(TODAY(), {End Date}, "Y", "N"))) Could somebody help me figure out what I’m doing wrong? Thank you!

Hi All! I have a nested IF statement that is set up to find if the value from Column A, B, C, D, or E matches Column F. If one matches, it produces the name of the column. What I’m looking for is a way to produce more than one name if more than one column matches. Currently it looks like this: IF( OR( ColumnA, ColumnB, ColumnC, ColumnD, ColumnE ), IF( ColumnA=ColumnF,“ColumnA”, IF( ColumnB=ColumnF,“ColumnB”, IF( ColumnC=ColumnF,“ColumnC”, IF( ColumnD=ColumnF,“ColumnD”, IF( ColumnE=ColumnF,“ColumnE”, ) ) ) ) ) ) This only gives me one result. If more than one column matches, I’d like it to somehow give me both or all results Thanks!

The piece I am really struggling with is the comma delimited split. This is the order as done in power query. Select entire tab/Table Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name=“Table1”]}[Content], #“Changed Type” = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{Many Columns/Fields}}), Select only the Columns/Fields #“Removed Other Columns” = Table.SelectColumns(#“Changed Type”,{“Key”, “ManyLinked”}), Remove empty cells/rows #“Filtered Rows” = Table.SelectRows(#“Removed Other Columns”, each ([ManyLinked] <> null)), Split the ManyLinked into one row for each comma delimitate value - each row gets the value from Key and a single value from ManyLinked #“Split Column by Delimiter” = Table.ExpandListColumn(Table.TransformColumns(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#“Filtered Rows”, {{“ManyLinked”, type text}}, “en-US”), {{“ManyLinked”, Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(",", QuoteStyle.Csv), let itemType = (type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true] in type {

I’m trying to add a column to a view that calculates - if X date (date a specific record was updated) is older than 2 weeks, show text “2 week” in the corresponding cell. And so on… for all the weeks - 2, 4, 6, and 8. Is this something that can be done? I’ve tried playing around with IF statements, but I’m not sure how to have it detect today’s date minus 14 for 2 weeks, today’s date minus 28 for 4 weeks, etc.

I have a little brain exercise and I’m running in a hamster wheel and cannot see to find the logic to use or if there’s a function out there that would solve my problem. I’ll take any help I can get :))) How can I create a formula doing the following behavior ? Variable : paymentDate - formatted in YYYY-MM-DD (ISO) I want to make each line appear if it fits the criteria. A paymentDate can belong to Quarter 1, 2, 3 or 4. Q1 is from Jan 1st to March 30th Q2 is from Avril 1st to June 30th etc… We have one month to prepare our reports after a quarter ends. What I want is to hide all the records from a current quarter until the deadline, i.e. all the payments made during Q1 2022 for instance will not be visible by my partners before April 30th (March 30th + 1 month). What I need is to be able to calculate a date (quarterDeadline, for instance) that will be April 30th, July 31st, October 31st, and then January 31st (of the next year). But

Hi, just wondering if someone can help me, I have an issue with a linked field.

So what I need is the linked files that shows all the selected items and another that show the unselected items. Hope some one can help and thanks in advance.

Hi ! I have a calculated field that returns for me a value that looks like 2021 | Q3 or 2022 | Q1, determining the year and the quarter from a payment date. Now, in a linked table where this field (“Quarter”) is a lookup, I’m calling the RIGHT() function as follows : RIGHT(Quarter,2) in order to have as a result Q3 or Q1 as in the examples above. However, I get an ERROR! I believe it has to do with the fact that my “String” is a lookup but even if I create a field in the table, a function, that is basically “Quarter” (i.e. take the value that’s in the lookup) and call RIGHT() on that new field, I get an ERROR! too. I am deducting that RIGHT() cannot be called on a cell that’s a function ? True ? Any workaround ? Thank you !

Hi everyone, Can someone help me with formula Regex_extract. In Airtable I have a field with text in quotes: " “msg”: “2. Have a second version of that same photo with no background”" . I can’t get rid of the quotes with formula REGEX_EXTRACT.

Dear all, i am looking for a solution for the following problem: “Column A” is a multiple select field where I have data on company presence in a variety of countries (e.g. “Poland”, “China”, “Germany”) “Column B” should have a formula that checks whether “Column A” contains an entry (among others) that belongs to a specific list (e.g. “Poland” or "Germany). In this case the formula should return “Europe” I am not sure, whether this problem should be solved with IF, nested IF, SWITCH formulas or whether I need a completely different approach Thanks for any input, Cheers

I’m trying to add a column into my financial forecast that shows whether Column A + Column B = Column C. If the value in Column C doesn’t match I’d like it to show me that it’s incorrect. The formula I have so far is below but I can’t get around the error. Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong? IF({Revenue Recognised in FY22}+{Year Recognised To Date}={Contract Value},“MATCH”,IF({Revenue Recognised in FY22}+{Year Recognised To Date}>{Contract Value},“INCORRECT”,IF({Revenue Recognised in FY22}+{Year Recognised To Date}<{Contract Value},"INCORRECT”))) Any advice is appreciated! Thanks
