Formulas

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 advance!

Hi! I’m working on a database that tracks kittens placed in foster for a shelter. I know how to use DATETIME_DIFF to get weeks, but am hoping to get weeks and days. Ideally, I would like to have it read XwYd. Can anybody help?

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 Airtable - Support Thanks for your help! V Let me know if that helps!

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 everybody. My question is simple… (hopefully the solution also) I need a formula who automaticly tells me what date it is next Tuesday. On Wednesday it needs to update itself to next Tuesday. Thanks in advance!

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. We’re now one step closer to helping both of our clients meet their goals. Thank you for all that you’ve done to get us to this point!* %21%0D%0A%0D%0AQuestion for the lender: I understand many lenders wait to order the appraisal until after the home inspection has been satisfied.

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?

Looking for a suggestion on how to best achieve the following: I have an order date, say “4th July 2018” and i have 3 workdays in which to complete the order. I’d like the formula to say “3 days left” or “2 days left” depending on today’s date. WORKDAY({Order Received},3) will give me the due date. But how to calculate the number of days left until we hit the due date?

This seems like it shouldn’t be that hard… SWITCH({Content Type}, Long-read, “$100 USD”, Standard-length, “$25 USD”, Photo, “$25 USD”, Video, “$40 USD”, Cartoon, “$25 USD”, )

I have a rollup field that uses ARRAYJOIN() to produce string values separated by commas. Next, I want to be able to count all instances of a particular string.For Example, the field I want to count contains: BT,DT,BT, DT. I want to count only the “DT.” Any suggestions on what formulas are able to do this? I would use a conditional rollup, but it doesn’t feature any “IF” statements.

I’ve found it extremely useful to have records with autonumber and “Title” field, while setting Name to something like "tn"&ID&" "&Title (where tn is an abbreviation for table name). Very helpful to distinguish events with similar agendas, etc. However, this means I no longer can auto-fill the name when creating records as a linked record field, from calendar view etc. and each time have to expand the record and fill it second time. Can I somehow fill a different field when creating the record?

Hi community! I am building a job site with Webflow and using Airtable as the database. Note: Job site not job board, which means the candidates will apply on the same site, instead of linking them to the company’s “jobs” page, as Job boards do. With the tutorials I saw online, including the one by @Aron, the “Apply Now” button links to an external site. With my Job site, I’m linking it to an Application form, where I need to prefill 2 things: The Company and the Position. I currently have a “Job Posts” table, a “Candidates” table, and a “Apply now” form/table. Every Job Post has an associated “Apply Now” URL which can be customized to have either the company name or the position prefilled (whichever is the primary field). The “Apply Now” form links to the “Job Posts” table and picks the primary field. I need both: the company name and the position to be prefilled into the form. How do I do this?

As you see in my lookup field, certain names (Mickey, Annie, Codi) are listed twice, since they’re responsible for multiple steps within one objective. How can I either create another field or change that lookup field so it’s displaying unique step owners (associated with steps). Thank you!

Hey team! I want to be able to show my “Current Step in Progress”, based on the information in my “Steps” table. How it should look: If there is an actual completion date, the formula should look at the next upcoming step, based on the date found in the projected completion date. In this case, the “Current Step in Progress” for the Merchandising Acceleration Program should be S2, since S1 has an actual completion date. Thanks in advance!
