Formulas

The primary field here is the issue key. The issue key represents an “Epic” when the {parent} field is blank or when the issue type is “Epic” not “task”. The parent field links issues, with their epics - this confuses my existing formula for concatenating parent and summary or issue key and summary fields.

I am trying to have fillable fields in a encoded url that uses filterbyformula. here is my example: unencoded formula that gets a subset of records from a table. Here the search criteria is explicit. OR(AND({authenticatedUserId},{authenticatedUserId}=‘recB7VzcJLuL6UgIK’),AND({mobile},{mobile}=’+1 2345678987’),AND({email},{email}=‘johndoe@example.com’) here is the encoded form that will be used in the url as query. filterbyformula=fields%5B%5D=zwsMemberID&filterByFormula=OR(AND(%7BauthenticatedUserId%7D%2C%7BauthenticatedUserId%7D%3D’recB7VzcJLuL6UgIK’)%2CAND(%7Bmobile%7D%2C%7Bmobile%7D%3D’%2B1+2345678987’)%2CAND(%7Bemail%7D%2C%7Bemail%7D%3D’johndoe%40example.com’)) I would like to be able to have the explicit data be fillable fields. filterbyformula=fields%5B%5D=zwsMemberID&filterByFormula=OR(AND(%7BauthenticatedUserId%7D%2C%7BauthenticatedUserId%7D%3D**{{input_auth_user_id}

Here you can see I have 2 records, one has the value "abc\ndef" and the other has "abc\rdef". I can query the first one with {Value}="abc\ndef", but I cannot figure out how to query the second one. The obvious thing of "{Value}="abc\rdef" does not work, nor does any other thing I’ve tried.

Edited: I solved the first issue I mentioned. However I cannot figure out the issue regarding the formula {750mL}*13

Hello everyone! Hope you can help. I’m looking for a formula that will return the number of a quarter (e.g. Q1, Q2, etc.) based on the current date and the date when the customer started his subscription. For example, if the customer subscribed on October, 1st, 2021, and today is 13 January, 2022, it should return Q2 so that we knew his subscription phase, or quarter. Thank you!

Happy New Year, Airtabletons. I hope 2022 is good to you all. Here is my scenario. I have a table which is populated with all our employees, freelancers and contacts. Using a combination of manual entry and linked records I then populate a 2nd table with only our employees and freelancers which is then used to construct an org chart. My question is, is there a way to automatically copy the contents of a cell from the master table to the 2nd table IF the record contains a certain company name within it’s record? So for example: If a record within TableA contains “CompanyA” or “CompanyB” I want to have the first cell of that record entered into a new line on TableB. I hope that makes sense guys. Thanks in advance for your time.

Hi there, I’m using Airtable to log some vitals for my doctor, and, for some reason, DATETIME_FORMAT is returning the wrong times. So, 1:17 becomes 7:17, for example. Here’s my formula: DATETIME_FORMAT({Auto Date},"M/D/YY - h:m ") & {AM/PM} Any suggestions would be appreciated! :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi, I am agonizing over a function that will allow me to subtract a value of -1 every one day from the number in the “Days” column. The function is supposed to start counting when TODAY()>=“Date Start”. I made such a function in the “Days count” column but it shows the range always smaller by 1(when there are no weekends) and when there are weekends by (-1, -2, -3 etc) depending on how many weekends it has along the way. Here is my function from the Days count column: IF(TODAY()>={Date Start}, IF(Weekends="with weekends", DATETIME_DIFF({Date end},TODAY(),'d'), IF(Weekends="without weekends", DATETIME_DIFF({Date end},{Date Start},'d')- (INT(DATETIME_DIFF({Date end},{Date Start},'d')/7)+ IF(DATETIME_FORMAT({Date Start},'e')>DATETIME_FORMAT({Date end},'e'),1,0))*2, "") ), “”) Anyon

Hi there - Looking for a way to have a formula show the first of the month for the current month and year. I.e. the formula fields says 2/1/2022 when it is Feb, then when it is March 3/1/2022 and so on…it would update on the first of each month Any help out there?

Hello there! I was just reaching out to see if there was a chance that someone, literally anyone can provide me with a BMI formula, please! I am trying to calculate BMI using height in inches and weight in pounds, and I’ve been searching for weeks for one that works, but it never accepts it. I’ve seen many articles and tips on conditional logic, but I don’t need it to tell me whether or not they’re overweight, I just need the actual BMI number. I’ve exhausted my personal and searchable resources, and since I’m also pretty new to this, when I DO find a formula that I think may work, I have trouble converting it from kg and meters or centimeters… I would be VERY grateful for a formula that I can copy and paste into the formula spot. My height and weight are both formatted to integers in inches and pounds and the result I would need for BMI would be for example Height: 64 Weight: 160 BMI: 25.7 Despite my many attempts I have become very frustrated with this and f

Hello to the community, And happy 2022 for everyone who reads this topic :winking_face: Maybe I’m the only one to face this situation but I’ve created a pretty simple formula field which should provide a simple 1/0 boolean answer based on 3 conditions. One of those conditions is if one linked field to another table (Order_ID) is still blank/empty. IF(AND({Payment Status}!=“paid”,Order_ID=BLANK(),REGEX_MATCH(Email, “(\W|^)[\w.\-]{0,25}@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,}(\W|$)”)=1),1,0) Guess what ? It doesn’t work. I’ve also tested the NOT(Order_ID) based on what I’ve read and it doesn’t work either BUT it works on a separate formula cell (see below the second line) : Other 2 conditions work perfectly. I assume this is due to the structure of a linked record by itself but I’m not sure. Thank you for your help.

Hi, I want to remove the text “project to archive” in my primary field. Can I do this with a formula? This is a primary field, I don’t know if that’s an issue?

Hi, I have two date fields - one for a birthdate I actually know, and the other for an estimated birthdate (horse rescue here and sometime we know, sometimes we don’t…). I want to populate a third field to show “current age”. One or the other of the birthdate fields will be empty. I have the following but it doesn’t work. Can someone tell me how to fix it? Thanks for your help! IF({Foal Date}, DATETIME_DIFF({Today},{Foal Date},‘years’), ELSE(DATETIME_DIFF( {Today},{Estimated Foal Date}, ‘years’))

Hi there, I have written and tested a formula (it works) - AND(IS_AFTER({Invoice Date}, “12/31/2020”), IS_BEFORE({Invoice Date}, “12/31/2021”)) Where invoice date is a valid date field. This works perfectly well on the table interface, returning 0s and 1s as needed. When I use the exact same formula on filterByFormula parameter in the API, it returns (NodeJS) - AirtableError { error: ‘INVALID_FILTER_BY_FORMULA’, message: ‘The formula for filtering records is invalid: Invalid formula. Please check your formula text.’, statusCode: 422 } I couldn’t find any documentation saying that AND could not be used. *note - I already succeeded using only one date formula - IS AFTER

Hello, I have 1 single select field called “Status”. This Status field has the following options: Awaiting Information (Outreach 1) Awaiting Information (Outreach 2) Awaiting Information (Outreach 3) On Hold Each of these options has its own date field connected to an automation that date-stamps when the option is selected in Status. Outreach 1 Date Outreach 2 Date Outreach 3 Date On Hold Date I need 1 formula that returns a date with the following considered: If Status = Awaiting Information (Outreach 1), add “2” business days to Outreach 1 Date. If Status = Awaiting Information (Outreach 2), add “2” business days to Outreach 2 Date. If Status = Awaiting Information (Outreach 3), add “3” business days to Outreach 3 Date. If Status = On Hold, add “30” business days to On Hold Date. This is what I’ve tried so f

I’m using the following formula to show date and time for “Facebook event_time field”… DATETIME_FORMAT({Date},‘YYYY-MM-DDTH:mm:ss’) I want to add a letter “Z” to the end of the field… so at the moment its returing the event_time as: 2022-01-10T13:02:00 I want it to look like: 2022-01-10T13:02:00Z

Hello Everyone, I’m looking to get some fresh thoughts on this project I’m working on. I have a working base, but I feel like it will be too bulking as the tables grow. The goal is to create a notification message or message string in a record when a piece of equipment reaches a certain mileage or hours. Think of a car manual. In the maintenance section is a schedule of suggested repairs to be made once the car gets to a certain mileage. ie…at 30,000 - replace cabin air filter, replaced engine air filter. at 60,000mi replace the fuel filter, check belts,… I have a base with 3 tables - Equipment, PM Record, Repair History I’ve linked all 3 together using Equipment as the main working table. PM Records is used to capture mileage and hours at the time of maintenance. I then use two rollup fields on the Equipment table to display the Max() Miles and Hours reco

I’m using AirTable to describe all products my company sells, or has ever sold, in our shop. Each record is a product. The tricky part is that some products are technically product bundles. To help describe this, I have a field called “Bundled Products” which can link to other records, for example: Product X (bundle) Bundled Products: Product Y, Product Z Here’s where it gets tricky. The way our store reports revenue, every product (including bundles) has sales recorded separately. But for analysis purposes, I want to be able to consolidate the revenue from Product Y with the relative percent of revenue from Product X, the bundle that includes it. I’m struggling to figure out how to create a formula or rollup for this. What I’ve done so far is define an additional field called “Part of Bundles”, so Product Y now has a reference to Product X, that contains it. If I were writing a program for this, here are the logical steps I would nee

I wanted the Weeknum of an end date field. The week number of those records that have 12/31/2021 is 1 instead of the last number of the year. How can I turn that into 52. I was trying to do a formula like this IF({End Date} = ‘12/31/2021’, “52” , WEEKNUM({End Date})) but it wasn’t working. I am new to formulas so if you can give me guidance I would appreciate it.

Hi all! I’m trying to create a %Complete column in a project table that includes several single-select fields used to track 1. whether or not a particular team has tasks associated with the project, and 2. what that team’s progress is on those tasks if so. I’m thinking what I need to do is create a formula column for each one of these, assigning a number to the values selected, a column that totals these up, and a column that calculates the % complete by dividing the total complete by the total that needs to be complete. Maybe use the SWITCH formula to assign numeric values? I just don’t know how to set up conditional formulas that complex at this point. Can anyone help me? Thanks very much!

Hai everyone, how to write formula on primary key column to capture Recorded time. I know there is column with type created time, but for primary key I’m not using so I think will be better if use for recorded time but with formula Thank you

I have a field called “Campaign Date” in my database where I start my experiment (November 1st). I would like to create a field where my first week of experiments is labeled Week 1, and so on. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Hey, I hope you’re well and might be able to help. I’ve created a table which records safety test results for some equipment. Each time a test is completed, it’s created as a new record and there’s a lookup field to link each test back to the piece of equipment that has been tested. It’s all working nicely. However, as we start to add more and more tests, there’s times where the same piece of equipment is tested more than once. This is causing some problems with some of the reports we generate, as the reports should only show the most recent test result. Does anyone know of formula I can create that can check if there are ANY other records in the table with identical values in the lookup field and IF SO, display a “TRUE” or “FALSE” result according to whether the particular record is the latest one? Thanks in advance, Sam

Hi Sorry if this seems dumb, but im a complete beginner. I have a task id field with a simple concatenate formula that puts together three fields data in the same table. And shows {Customer Name} - {Type of Task} - {Date of Task} and it adds the date time format D/M/YYYY. Its shows eg: John Smith - Photoshoot - 21/7/2022 This works brilliantly, but has a very minor annoyance of returning ERROR when adding a record because the three fields are blank. Once the fields are filled in it works a treat. Is there any way the formula can allow for the blank fields without showing error? Thank you in advance

I’m trying to use DATETIME_FORMAT to format a date calculated by a formula to the way I want it to be displayed. I have to use DATETIME_FORMAT rather than the settings button because I’m inserting it into an automated email, which defaults to YYYY-MM-DD format instead of the settings. It seems like this should be possible but I keep getting an error. Here’s my current formula: DATETIME_FORMAT((DATEADD(TODAY(),14, “days”), ‘DD-MM-YYYY’) The center formula DATEADD(TODAY(),14, “days”) works properly on its own, so I know it’s something about adding the formatting piece. Is it possible to do this in one formula?
