Formulas

Hi I am not sure it is an IF formula or a switch formula that I need but I cannot work this one our for love nor money. So I am trying to write a complex risk assessment and within it is a simple single select column where my options are Improbable Remote Possible Probable Almost Certain What I was hoping to do is have a column next to it that converts the different options into numbers 1-5 (which I would then hide but use in calculations.) There are lots of different versions of this within the base but for the life of me I cannot work out how to take the select options and get it to return a number am I going crazy? Any help greatfully recieved xx

I’m trying to automatically name experiments based on the user that performs them. The numbering is sequential. However, I want the numbering to relative to the user. Here is the formula I’m currently using: {Initials (from Owner)}&"_"&"EXP"&REPT( '0', 4-LEN( {Autonumber}&'' ) )& {Autonumber} The issue is, I want that next experiment (MP_EXP0005) to start at MP_EXP0001, rather than 5. Is there a way to do that with a formula?

Hey all, I have a formula to generate a date and then format it, here’s what it looks like: DATETIME_FORMAT(DATEADD({Touch Point}, (SWITCH({Coin Type}, ‘Platinum’, ‘3’, ‘Gold’, ‘6’, ‘Silver’, ‘12’, ‘Copper’, ‘Null’)), ‘months’), ‘MMMM-YYYY’) My {Touch Point} field however sometimes may not have a date entered. In situations like that I want the formula to return blank (Null) as opposed to ERROR. Any ideas?

Would appreciate some help on IF statements: I have a field for “WEIGHT” and another for “WEIGHT RANGE”. I would like user to enter his/her weight and need a formula to yield the weight range. eg 42 >> 40-45 48>> 46-50 52>> 51-55 56>> 56-60 63>> 61-65 69>> 66-70 Would there be better alternatives using AND or SWITCH or anything else? Thank you.

There is not actually much to say here, but I am adding some text in order to pass the minimum for a forum post. It would be great if there was a setting to close/minimize airtable to tray or taskbar in Windows 10

Hello! I am admittedly not a formula wizard at all. Trying to create a formula that adds 3 days to a manual date field but excludes weekends. By definition, I thought the Workday formula removed weekends, but my formula is giving Sunday dates. Do you have to designate if your workday starts on Sunday vs. Monday to fix this? If yes, how? Next Expected Dispatch Date is a date field manually selected: IF({Next Expected Dispatch Date},WORKDAY({Next Expected Dispatch Date},3),BLANK())

Hi everyone, I’m really sorry for that (probably) stupid question but I can’t get a valid answer to my issue by searching alone ;( I would like to be able to use a formula to replace : “https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1171057411806961666/jyWUG6oT_normal.jpg” by “https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1171057411806961666/jyWUG6oT.jpg” I just want to remove the end of the URL because the formating of the begining could change. Thanks for your precious help :pray:

Hi there! I am needing help to add ONE layer to this IF formula. It’s for an invoicing tracking base. Overall, we are looking at 2 columns. I found this super epic IF Formula here on the forum and need help. The OUTCOME: *This first part I need help with - If the Paid Date exists = PAID (the rest, the formula I have works) If the Invoice Due Date is same day = DUE TODAY If the Invoice Due Date is within 5 days = PENDING If the Invoice Due Date is 5+ days = UPCOMING If the Invoice Due Date is past = PAST DUE Here is a pic of the columns I am working with Here is the formula I am working with, I am fairly sure I need to change the first layer?? IF ( {Due}="", “Not Set”, IF( AND( DATETIME_DIFF({Due},TODAY(),‘hours’) >= 12, DATETIME_DIFF

Hi. New to Airtable. Looking to add a formula field that calculates a value (rating - via stars) based on data in other fields. In the attached example, I’d like the ‘Expected Rating’ field to return a star rating (via star emoji) based on the completeness of the other fields.

Hey there, trying to get an IF/THEN statement correct here. It’s a donation database. Each donation is linked to a Donor Account and a Campaign. In my Donor Accounts tab, I’m using a lookup field to determine which Campaigns each donor has donated through. In another column, I’d like it to populate “Yes” if the donor has already given/is tagged to a particular campaign, “No” if they haven’t. Thoughts?

Hi all, Could anyone help me with this please: I have 2 columns of Attachment (images) and want to do what I normally do with email addresses and dates etc; namely have a new formula field that checks whether an image exists in one field and if that’s a No, use the image from the other field (in my case as the cover in a gallery). (1 image is from a linked table field, the other a direct attachment (if exists)). So, ‘date’ might be like this: IF({Date Published},{Date Published},{Date Accepted}) But ‘attachment’ gives me the AT field content like this: untitled.png?w=640 (https://dl.airtable.com/.attachments/a0dfdghtt8876ad82f549fadb408/2164e9ef/untitled.pngw640) I can split/extract the field components eg get the actual URL via something like: RIGHT(LEFT({Journal Image}, LEN({Journal Image}) - 1), LEN(LEFT({Journal Image}, L

I have a table for keeping track on contract lengths on customers and i want to get a notification when contract is up for negotiation. So, per default the contracted time is 12,24 or 36 months. And since we have clients that signed contracts a couple of years ago, we’ve passed the original due date, but our contracts gets automatically renewed 12 months, if not terminated. I’m struggling somewhat with organising the fields, what i want to achieve is basically: Signed date Expiry date (Signed date + Contract length) Contract length (a # field) Date for negotiation (Expiry date minus 6 months) But i also want that if expiry date has passed, a new expiry date 12 months in the future should be set, which also updates the ‘Date for negotiation’. Any ideas would be awesome!

Helo, I’m sorry but i don’t speak english very well… I would like to invert the result of the ARRAYJOIN function and get all the results that are not selected Thx

Hello! I’m trying to simply show the aggregation of two lookup fields into a third column while keeping the linked values. Concatenate will de-link the data as it only works with text values- how do I carry the link through concatenate? Is there a formula or AirTable workaround that will join data without losing the links?

Hello Dear Community! I am having not much fun concatenating minutes into hours. In the image, where it says (for example) 75.16 minutes in line 4, I would like it to say 01:15 (or even 01h:15m. My formula is below. I know it’s something to do with DATETIME_FORMAT, but what do I put in and where? When I tried inserting: & DATETIME_FORMAT({TOTAL Bearbeitungszeit}, 'h:mm') Airtable got upset. How do I do it, guys?

I have a table with two of the fields called msgId and ID. msgId is generated by my app, whereas the ID is the auto number assigned to the record by Airtable. In my request (via the JS client library), I’d like to request data the following way: Lookup a record with a given msgId and find the ID of that record, let’s call this required ID. I’d then like to sort the table by IDs desc and retrieve five records just before the matched record, i.e having the ID less than the required ID I found initially. I’m thinking of two separate requests here, first get the ID related to the msgId by doing a filter by formula search function. Then send a second request, retrieve five records less than the ID. Is there any way to do this in a single request?

I would like to set up a resource planner base that allows me to track the following: project start date, project end date resources allocated to the project for specific periods of time during the lifespan of the project (start date end dates) resources could be allocated to one or more projects for various time periods within the lifespan of the project. (their role is the task they will be undertaking e.g project manager, contracts manager, design manager) during a planning period, e.g defined by start date and end date I would like to be able to see if I have resource availability during this planned period so i can reallocate them to another project if so required). I have looked at the resource planning base Resource Planning - Airtable Universe. However resource is allocated to project by % time and availability then i

Hello All, Sorry if this is an easy question, but I looked some of the articles and I am totally lost ^^ I have a table 1 like this listing my subscriptions internal code date of the subscription starting date of the subscription ending mensual fees I want next a view or a table or an app aggregating by month my revenues ! What seems to me the easiest way was to create a Table 2 like this : month internal code linked to table 1 subscriptions start dates subscriptions end start rollup fields summing the mensual fees And I am looking for a way to show in the “internal code” field only the one where “month” is between start date and end date. I have not found a way to do this ? I am lost :frowning:

Hi all, I’m working with a set of formulas for calculating a page count estimate for transcription based on length of audio recording, and then based on that page estimate, calculating a price based on a per-page and copy rate. Here’s the formula I’m working with for the page estimate: ({Recording Length}/3600)*50 And the formula for calculating the price is: ({Page Estimate}{Job Rate})+(({Page Estimate}{Additional Copies})*{Copy Rate}) The problem I’m having is that even though the {Page Estimate} field is set to be a whole number integer and displays as such, when the {Page Estimate} field is used in the price calculation, it’s not using the rounded integer but the precise decimal amount. For example, the page estimate is 233.666, rounded to 234 as a whole integer. But instead of calculating 234 * {Job Rate}, it’s using 233.66666 * {Job Rate}. Thanks for any ideas to solve this!

I have a lookup array of 6 scores, and I’m trying to see if there’s a formula where I can automatically grab and SUM the lowest 4 scores out of the 6. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thank you!

Inglés HI. I need to convert the following: I insert a number in a record, for example, 155. I need to convert or divide 155 into multiples of 40, 30 and 5. That is, I need the following result in a column: (3 + 1 + 1) … 3 * 40 = 120 1 * 30 = 30 1 * 5 = 5 Is it possible to get it? I need it very urgently! THANKS!

Hi everyone, I’m new, this won’t be clear. I’ll do my best. I have a sheet in a database that lists all the special words used in particular Greek scrolls. I have 19 total records (so there are 19 scrolls), but there are many fields within those records. I want to be able to count all the words in those records. For example, I want to know how many times a particular term appears in those 19 records. (So, it would tell me that it appears twice in scroll 1, three times in scroll 4, etc.) Is this possible?

Can someone assist and ‘teach’ me where I’m going wrong, please? Trying to pull data from Field B if Field A is blank. Here is the formula I’m currently using, which doesn’t return a value. IF({Field A} < 5000, {Field A},IF({Field A}=BLANK(),{Field B})) This formula works to pull data from Field A but Field C is blank, not fulling data from Field B. I don’t get a formula error, the field is only empty.

Ok, to get it out of the way, here is the formula: IF( {Which Iteration?} = ‘This Iteration’, ‘New’, IF( AND( DATETIME_DIFF({Created Date in Airtable}, {Custom field (Done Date)}, ‘days’) <= 19, (IF( {Custom field (Released Date)}, DATETIME_DIFF({Created Date in Airtable}, {Custom field (Released Date)}, ‘days’), DATETIME_DIFF({Created Date in Airtable}, Resolved, ‘days’)) <= 14) ‘New’, ‘Old’)) Hopefully it comes through semi-formatted, never posted before. Essentially, logic aside, I’m trying to figure out why it’s an invalid formula. That being said, the logic I’d like it to have is as follows: If the Bug is marked as belonging to ‘This Iteration’ (a formula column I have), mark it as new. Else, if the Bug was created in the past 19 days AND it was either Released or Resolved in the past 14 days (this iteration), mark it as new. ^ (What I would also like to know is whether or not DATETIME_DIFF returns a val
