Formulas

Hi all, I’m trying to make it easier for my teammates to create records, and would love it if I could format the text in a formula field so that its items separated by a comma are displayed in vertical list format. This is the formula I’m using right now, trimmed so no one has to wade through ALL the categories and tags: IF(Category=“Community”,“Art & Music, Books & Literacy, Children & Youth, Community Development, Education, Guns & #NeverAgain, Inclusive Language”) I’d like everything within the second set of quotation marks to display in list format. Is this possible?

Hi, I have a table were I need to figure out how to say if the status is closed. To then move to another table titled closed.

Hello! I’ve been using Airtable for a couple years. I don’t know much about formulas, but I can usually figure out what’s going on. In one table, I have this formula to calculate ages: DATETIME_DIFF(TODAY(), Birthdate, ‘years’). Up until today, it’s worked perfectly. However, for some reason, now it’s giving me an error message. I have a different table with the same formula - it’s also giving me a brand new error message. I’ve tried switching the order DATETIME_DIFF(Birthday, TODAY(), ‘years’), and that works fine too (the age is just a negative number, not ideal). The kicker is, if I change the unit to ‘weeks’ it works no problem - I just don’t have a use for knowing ages in weeks. Any ideas?

Hello, community. Imm attempting to create a résumé table. I want to be able to add jobs that have the following fields. ‘Title’ ‘Start’:formula ‘End’:formula ‘months worked’:numeral. The first entry the job start is hardcoded and the job ended is calculated by adding the months worked to the job start. The second entry job start is a reference to job end from the previous entry. Hope that makes sense.

Hey All, I hope everyone is keeping well given the current pandemic. I have recently started to use Airtable Sync and since then, noticed a couple of my formulas are now showing up with #ERROR (see pics attached). My database is a paid plan, but is syncing to a free database. The DOB is being synced to the new page, but the age is not. I would love some help on how to get the age to show again! Thank you so so much!

Hellloo! Costings within my business have now changed slightly and have added in a new column but I only want the records after 1st October to calculate the 10%. Please help, thank you. IF({Date Purchased}IS_AFTER(01/10/2020),SUM({Net Revenue}*0.1))

Hi, I am using Zapier to pull booking information into Airtable. The information comes in like this: 100-007 Storage boxes x 4.0 @ £4.17 = £16.68 I am wondering if I can split this information up into separate columns (column titles are in italics). Location code = 100 Sales code = 007 Item = Storage Boxes Quantity = 4 Price Per Item = £4.17 Total Price = £16.68 Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks Gal

Hi, I’m a bit new to this and not sure if it’s even possible. I have a table of ‘scores’ with multiple ‘players’. Each player has a score, up to 30 scores each. In another table I have a rollup which displays all the players scores. What I’m trying to do is find the 5 best scores for each player, add as a total, then divide by 5 to give an average score for each player. This should then give a leaderboard of the best players based on their 5 best scores out of X scores. I’ve managed to do this manually in Notion by adding a checkbox formula which when I enter the player score, I look at their top scores and check/uncheck as required. This is fine and works but I’m now looking to make it more automated with Airtable. Is this dooable as a formula or better as a script on a front end with js? So with airtable it works like this ‘Overall Score’ = All Scores + Checkbox = Total Score Average Score = Total Score / 5 Thanks in advance.

Hello Airtable community! I am struggling with a formula and thought I would put it here since you all never let me down :slightly_smiling_face: I want the formula to produce the result overdue IF the contact’s sum of (“level of connection” and “Level of importance”) is greater than 5 and “Last Contact” is more than 180 Days The contact’s sum of (“level of connection” and “Level of importance”) is greater than 7 and “Last Contact” is more than 90 Days -The contact’s sum of (“level of connection” and “Level of importance”) is greater than 8.9 and “Last Contact” is more than 30 Days For reference here is what I currently have (Very far off) IF(DATETIME_DIFF(TODAY(),{Last contact},‘days’)>90,“Overdue”) THANK YOU !!!

Hey guys, Which field type should I use to enter page numbers for each of my table listings? I want to be able to do some calculations on them later e.g. average page number for 10 rows of book listings. I tried using the number (#) field type but it adds an unnecessary decimal place. So for example a page number entered as 350 changes to 350.0. I was going to use the single line text field but wondered if that would prevent me running calculations later on. Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

Hello, Here is a screen shot: What I am trying to do is create a formula for In Stock so that when Condition is New, Quantity decreases by 1 (and if the Condition is not new, it stays with what is in stock). However, as you can tell with Row 3, that is not the case. My formula thus far is = Quantity & IF({Condition (from Maintenance)} = ‘New’) - 1 What am I missing? Furthermore, if Condition has ‘New’ twice in the column (or however many is in the Quantity), such as Row 1, in stock should be blank or 0, or if there is nothing in Condition, In stock should equal Quantity. I have it so when stock gets to 1, the status changes to Order More, and would like it to change to Out of Stock when it is 0 IF({In Stock} = 1, ‘Order More’) & IF({In Stock} = BLANK(), ‘Out of Stock’) Is this doable or do I need many more columns and

Hi, How can I change time format 8:00 into 0800? Thanks Erwin

Hello - I’m trying to combine and format data in order to use in a report…would like to separate with tabs if possible to get the spacing and format to look nice and consistent. (Spaces are not working out correctly if record data doesn’t have the exact number of characters.) I’m trying to doing something like the following, but can’t seem to find anything that produces a tab. I’ve tried “\t” and “ALT+09”. Any suggestions? {Data 1} + TAB + {Data2}

I feel like this question has been asked before, but I cannot find an answer or post that really applies. I have a form where users can input/sort options from one table (a hacked ranking system). Once they the form is submitted, I then want to figure out an automattion using basic text fields, or have multiple formula fields pull the records 1 by 1 into the separate fields in the order they’ve been input by the user’s form submission. A, B, C record order Field 1 = A Field 2 = B Field 3 = C I’ve looked at arrays, converting to strings, tried the string lengths by using the shorthand info, this seems like something I used to do all the time in others, but it’s very clear arrays of data are not well managed in this?

I’m trying to further customize a formula (that’s already working) with additional functionality to detect when text is missing a certain element and, in such cases, to then add that element to the text in a different column, but can’t seem to get anything to work. Specifically, I have a formula that, among other things, takes a URL from, say, Column A, and then customizes/edits that URL in Column B based on criteria from data in other columns. In this instance, Column A is a URL field and Column B is the formula field, and Column B displays updated versions of URLs from Column A. So far the formula is working fine except I also need it to detect when a URL in Column A is missing its trailing slash ("/") and to subsequently add in that slash where it would otherwise go when the URL appears in Column B. I also don’t think it will be as simple as merely finding/replacing instances of <.com> with <.com/>, <.org> with <.org/>, <.co> wit

Building a payroll system and need formula help with splitting up total hours between Daily Hrs, time and a half pay, and doubletime. Here’s my setup: My “Total Hrs/day” is the actual total of all hours worked, calculated with: (OUT-IN)-BREAK Then, I want to limit the amount of hours from the “Total Hrs/Day” that can go into “Daily Hrs” to 8 hours of regular pay. I do this with: IF((OUT-IN)-BREAK<=8, (OUT-IN)-BREAK, 8) This means that if 10 hours were worked, “Daily Hrs” is capped at 8. I want the remaining two hours to populate into the “time and a half” to be multiplied by that 1.5x rate. The caveat is that I need this to be capped at 4 hours of overtime, before spilling any remaining hours from the “Total Hrs/day” into “doubletime”. IF( (OUT-IN)-BREAK>8, ((OUT-IN)-BREAK)-8, BLANK() ) I can

While I’ve seen plenty of posts on formulas based on whether a checkbox is checked or not in another field, I’m curious as to whether it is possible in the inverse? I want to create a formula that will say, “If condition exists in some field, mark checkbox in another field.” Can this be done?

Hi All, I’m looking for some help in building out a formula field (Transfer Tax) that is formatted as currency. I’m new to Airtable but have a lot of Salesforce.com experience. The Transfer Tax field provides the dollar amount that will be charged when the dollar amount in another field (Purchase Price) falls in a certain range. The rule is: the transfer tax is $3.30 for every $1,000 of the purchase price. Essentially, a Purchase Price anywhere from $0-$999.99, the Transfer Tax field should be showing $3.30. If the Purchase Price is anywhere between $1,000-1,999.99, the Transfer Tax field should be showing $6.60. If the Purchase Price field is anywhere between $2,000-$2,999.99, then the Transfer Tax field should show $9.90. This continues for infinity. Ideally, I only need it for a purchase price going to about $100,000. In Salesforce.com, I would l

Hey everyone. I’m using this formula to calculate how many days it took for a response. DATETIME_DIFF({Response date},({Submission date}), ‘days’) & " days" I’d like to add a part to the logic that says if {Response date} is blank, calculate days between Submission date and today’s date. Any ideas?

Hi, all! I’m facing a challenge to do the following: Column A with multiple choices (All, Sheep, Goats… up to 12 more) Column B with multiple choices (Universal, Black, White) Column C with single choice (F, SE) Column D with multiple choices (3 months, 6 months, 9 months) Because I have more than 500 records I need a formula to do the same as filtering manually. May be the topic should be divided in two parts: I want to have a formula that can tell me if a certain combination for a record is “true”. If it is true, we can name it (All-Sheep-Black-F-3-months), then the formula displays the name of the combination (All-Sheep-Black-F-3-months). I found that in excel this could be done with ISNUMBER and FIND but Airtable doesn’t support ISNUMBER. The problem for me here is that I cannot use AND and OR in columns with multiple choices because it doesn’t work or I just can’t make it work. For combination

I am trying to create a button that when clicked, opens a gmail link and populates the email address and body. My table has a lookup field called “PrimaryContactEmail” that simply pulls from the link record “Primary Contact” and brings in the email so that I can reference it in my formula. The formula I am using is: “https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?view=cm&to=” & ENCODE_URL_COMPONENT(PrimaryContactEmail) & “&su=” & ENCODE_URL_COMPONENT(“IPM Scoutek Demo Devices Shipped”) & “&body=” & ENCODE_URL_COMPONENT("…") The weirdest thing happens though. For rows that HAVE a value in PrimaryContactEmail, the button is disabled (greyed out) but if the PrimaryContactEmail is empty, the button is clickable! I thought MAYBE this is some kind of spam prevention thing, preventing me from emailing users outside of the base,

Hello, I as making a Base and there are 4 sheets. Is there something i can to for some of the columns of the sheets be linked? Example: We made a CRM about out clients. In one of the sheets are all the oportunities and who of our Hunter Team brought this oportunity. Then, we made a Sheet that tells us more about the client (website etc). I would like to link the Hunter in both sheets for that same name of client.

Hi everyone, I did my best with this using just the Help pages but I can’t seem to get this formula right. Basically, I have a spreadsheet where I have listed my credit card statements when they come in, including the date that the bill is due. Then I have a field where I state whether the bill is “Paid (in full),” “Paid (partially),” or “Unpaid.” Lastly, I have a formula field to determine whether the bill is overdue. This is the formula I have so far: IF(AND(DATETIME_DIFF(TODAY(),{Balance Due Date},‘days’>0),OR(Status=“Unpaid”,Status=“Paid (partially)”)),“Overdue”) What I’m trying say with this formula is: If today’s date is later than the balance due date, and the bill is only Unpaid or Paid (partially), then I want it to spit out “Overdue.” However, with this formula, it ignores the DATETIME_DIFF command and always spits out “Overdue” even if the balance due date hasn’t passed yet. Is there a way to fix this?
