I am new to airtable and trying to complete a table that has a single select choice in column A for make of the car and I want to have a single select choice in Column B that is contingent on the choice made in Column A…i.e. If Ford is chosen in Column A, then the only choices that are present to you in Column B are Explorer, Escape, Expedition, Fusion, Mustang, Thunderbird. But if your choice in Column A is Mercedes then the choices you have to choose from in column B are C Class, E Class S Class, or SUV, etc thanks shari

We have a field called Products which is a link to our “Product” table We have a field called Cost which is a lookup field. (looks up the cost from the Product table) In our “ORDER” table, we have a field called Total Cost In that Total Cost field we would like to multiply the Cost by the Qty (quantity) but if there is a value in the Misc Cost field then we would like to multiply that field by the Qty to calculate the Total Cost Here’s the kicker… Basically, we want to use the Misc Cost to override the Cost x Qty total, if there if something is entered in that field. Usually a product is full price for us. Sometimes we get a massive discount on a certain quantity or we get some of a product for free. I still want to link to

I read several posts on what I hoped was this if/then topic, but there are *so many if/then questions out there and I still didn’t find my answer (it all depends on my own keywords, of course). Please combine this into the right thread if it already exists. I need to track a biannual speaker event into am/aft/eve sessions over 2 days. I have info duplicated because: I’m still in the experimentation phase to see which formats work best I need the info to be sortable/filterable/analyzable in many different views any columns can be hidden as long as the essential result is achieved (yes messy but I’m an amateur) I’m looking for a way that a checkmark in one of 5 columns returns a unique label in one column. I’m fine if the labels are returned in text form or multiple selection form; that’s less important. I figured out the if/then assuming an on/off for one column, but I’m lost as to how to create an if/then for on/off between 5 colum

In {#Gew uit} i want to know how many times 25 (= teamnummer) is in {resul.gew.wedstr.uit} I don’t know what formula to use. I tried FIND({teamnummer}, {resul. gew. wedstr. uit}) but that counts all the nummers.

I have a duration/run time field I’m importing, currently stored in Milliseconds. Anybody have a quick formula to help convert that to mm:ss? Thank you.

I am trying to create a priority score for a team travel destination based on a series of checkboxes. This is what I tried: SUM(IF({1 Must Do}5,0),(IF({2 high on list}4,0),(IF({3 would like to do}3,0),(IF({4 maybe if in the area}2,0)) This isn’t being accepted. Any help appreciated.

I’m new to this but I am trying to check if a text field includes a set of key phrases. I have a Customer Table with a text field called “Notes” where someone could type a note in a cell. There is a Phrase Table with a text field “Phrases” that holds a set of predefined phrases. I would like to check if any of the phrases are found in the note. This is what I got, the field is located on the Customer Table. It returns False in all cases. IF(FIND(Phrases ,Notes)>=1,“True”,“False”)

Hello- I have a formula field that multiples values from two other rows. It functions properly when multiplying values without decimal points, e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. But fails to account for values with decimal points, e.g., 1.5, 2.5, 3.5. The odd thing is that for those values (the ones with decimal points), it actually accounts for the numeric portion of the values without the decimal value. Specifically, for 1.5 or 2.5, it will multiply based on 1 or 2, respectively. It ignores that there is a .5 tacked on as well… Here is the formula: IF({Mins}=15,".5",IF({Mins}=30,“1”,IF({Mins}=45,“1.5”,IF({Mins}=60,“2”,IF({Mins}=75,“2.5”,IF({Mins}=90,“3”,IF({Mins}=105,“3.5”,IF({Mins}=120,“4”," ")))))))) Not sure if this is helpful, but when I click on the “formatting” tab within the field, here is the response: “Your result type is not a number or a date. Formatting options are currently only available if your result type is a number or a date.” Thanks in adv

Hello, I asked for some help with a formula to convert a single-select field to a date field, and was sent a link - but unfortunately I cannot access it. Can someone please provide a way to access the support article I was directed to? The topic is how to use the DATETIME_PARSE formula to convert that to MM/YYYY . Here’s the support article link I was sent: support.airtable.com

Hi everyone, What is the simplest way to convert a single-select field, which is the full word month (i.e., “January”), to a usable date field that provides the current MM/YYYY (i.e., “01/2020”)? I’m integrating to Airtable from JotForm, and the field in Airtable has to match the format of the JotForm field. So my JotForm field is formatted as Dropdown, and my Airtable field (Field 16) is formatted as Single select. My Airtable integration works for the Field 16, but I need a formula for my Activity Month field to convert that to MM/YYYY. Thanks so much for your help! V

I have records that are automatically created in my base. Some of them end in the phrase “(X of Y)” to indicate they are one of many. Others do not have this tag at all. I need help creating a formula that removes all instances of this parenthetical count. This would give me ability to group all records with identical names: Kelly’s Record (1 of 2) Kelly’s Recors (2 of 2) ----> all turn in to “Kelly’s Record” However, I need the formula to leave unique records unaffected: Kelly’s New Record —> Kelly’s New Record

I’m currently building two different pipelines, one for sales and one for recruiting. Both require a way to measure the pass-through rates from one status to the next status. Ideally, this formula would reflect the % of the pipeline that changes from one status to the next status. Any help or ideas on how to show this % change?

Hi everyone, Im trying to put together a payroll base for my small start-up but Im finding it quite challenging dealing with the income tax calculation bit which requires the use of a progressive tax bracket system. The income tax bracket system has the following rules - Chargeable Income Rate (%) First 319.00 0.0% Next 100 5.0% Next 120 10.0% Next 3,000 17.5% Next 16,461 25% Exceeding 20,000 30% Since there isnt any vlookup in Airtable like in Excel making an if statement is impossible. I am pretty sure there is a simpler way to go about it but I just dont have the insight yet. Any help is totally appreciated.

Hello, I’ve created a table in my base called “Email Templates”. It’s a simple 2 column table. First column: Template Name, 2nd column: URL Formula. In the email template column, I’ve selected a long text field. And for each row, I’m creating test URL email formulas. Here’s an example of one of the formulas: "mailto: [lindsey@realtimesavers.com](mailto:lindsey@realtimesavers.com)"* & "?subject=" & ({Property Address}&" | Test 1")* & "&body=" & ("Good day Selling Team!* %21%0D%0A%0D%0ACongratulations on satisfying the home inspection contingency.

I have 2 fields that are linked to other fields. I want to combine the 2 fields in a 3rd field and keep the 3rd field still linked. If I do a simple {Field 1} & {Field 2} in a formula field, it makes the linked records into stringed text. How can I keep the resulting field still linked? Thanks!

I’m using a formula to populate the PrimaryKey field which looks like YEAR(Date_form_submitted) &"/"& MONTH(Date_form_submitted) &"/"& {department_code_lookup (from Departments_Lookup)}&"/"& rolling_id It works perfectly without any issues. What I want to do is add this generate value in a form. So for example, someone is submitting a new form and prior to submission I want to let them know what the PrimaryKey value (labeled as URN) is. Equally is there a way that I can send an email on submission that includes the Primarykey (URN) value to the submitter? Regards Simon

Hello. I suck at formulas and need some help. I have 4 single select fields in which I set the status of different documents I collect from clients (not sent, sent, received, not needed). I then have a “document status” formula field that queries the status of all 4 single selects. I want the document status formula to display “1” if all fields indicate “received” OR “not needed”. It should return a “0” if any other combination is shown. The purpose of this is to allow me to use a gallery view that filters for “document status = 0” and show me only the clients that owe me documents. Can anyone please help me with this?

I would like users to be able to select an individual name when filling a form. I created a calculated field with the Last and First Names. But it seems I cannot add a calculated field to a form. How else can I do this? Just to clarify. If I have calculated two entries “Smith, John” and “Smith, Peter” how can I list them in the form?

But how to calculate the number of days left until we hit the due date?
