Formulas

I’ve got a staff list that also has columns for who their supervisor is, who reports to them, and who their teammates are. I need to count the number of times the staff member’s name appears anywhere on the table. Can you help me craft that formula?

Hi! This is probably super simple but I just can’t find how. I have a multiple select column with some 15 options. I want to get the summary of how many times each option has been selected in the whole columns, so something like: Option 1 = 3 times, Option 2 = 0 times, Option 3 = 6 times … Not sure if it requires a formula or something different. Thanks in advance! :slightly_smiling_face:

I’m trying to write a formula that will take the total sum from ‘Participant Growth’ column and divide it by the sum from the ‘Output 1’ column. The sum in Column A is 3 and the sum in column B is 4. I’m trying to write a formula for this…The formula I currently have is: SUM({Participant Growth})/SUM({Output 1}). But it is not returning 0.75. Am I thinking about this correctly or might I need to create a new view?

Hi, Sorry if this seems a simple issue, but I’ve got a table with a list of venues… some start with “the” (eg: The Royal Albert Hall). I want to be able to display the list of venues in proper name order - ie: Royal Albert Hall, without “the”… I’m thinking having the full name as one field, and a second, formula, field which removes THE if it’s the first word, but not if it’s in the middle of the name - eg: Her Majesty’s THEatre, or Auditorium at THE Excel Centre… Could anyone help please? Thanks!

I have a table of activities with start and end date columns and a column for the person assigned to the activity.

Hello, I’m trying to generate two separate outcomes in the same field where one of our clients receives a discount that the remainder of our clients do not. We have what is called a 1/2 Day Session that is normally $600.00 for a four-hour session. One of our clients is only charged $500.00 for that 1/2 Day Session and I want to be able to see both in the same field if possible. Would this fall under a nested IF statement, and if so, how would I go about writing that formula? Thank you.

Hi, A really long story made short; I’m trying to get Airtable to detect duplicate names in two rollup fields. I have the following tables in my base Equipment Projecttype A Projecttype B Location In my Equipment-table I’m keeping track of routers we own. Different fields shows how many we own in total, where and for what projects they are currently installed and (this is the problem) how many we have left in stock. The Equipment-table rolls up on which projects the routers are installed. I have 2 types of projects, each in their own table (A and B) - meaning, I have 2 rollup fields. Then, the projects run at different locations. More projects (even the two different projects) can run on the same location. The Locations-table links to both the project-tables but not the Equipment-Table. I’m using an ARRAYUNIQUE in the rollups in the Equipment-table and that way I get to see on what locations the ro

What it says on the tin. Different authors make different amounts, I’d love to add this kind of conditional logic based on what we’re entering in the “numbers” field, and have those prices automatically calculated in the sheet. Ideally, I would also be able to hide the formula and have it entered in the currency field so I can later filter by author later and have it automatically populate the total at the bottom of the table, but I won’t get picky.

Sorry I struggle like crazy with formulas and know I post on here so often but Airtable is amazing and has revolutionized our reported!!! Cue me getting over-excited and moving everything into Airtable which is great 99% of the time and leaves me with my head in my hands other days. I was just wondering if anyone could help me I have a base for my family support workers, I have added a date created so I know when the referral came in and we have a linked table for interactions which is essentially every time we contact them so there are a lot of linked files in here.

Please can someone help before I literally start pulling my hair out

I’m trying to achieve the following: If Invoice Status is ‘Paid’, then ‘Paid’ If Invoice Status is empty and the date in Payment Due is on or after today, then ‘Due’ If Invoice Status is empty and the date in Payment Due is before today, then ‘Overdue’ I have created this formula, which is not working (it does show ‘Paid’ but not ‘Due’ where applicable): IF({Invoice Status} = ‘Paid’, ‘Paid’, IF(AND({Invoice Status)} = BLANK()),IS_AFTER({Payment Due}, TODAY()), ‘Due’, IF(AND({Invoice Status} = BLANK()),IS_BEFORE({Payment Due}, TODAY()), ‘Overdue’))) Any help would be much appreciated!

Use case: View order progress in Kanban view and display relevant button based on stage. For instance, if I received an order I would see a ‘send order email confirmation button’ and when the order moves to order shipped I’d see ‘send order shipped email button’. Can I use a formula to display a button? Is there a way to filter columns in Kanban view? Any thoughts on an approach I can take or direction to go? Any tips, insights, or code would be appreciated.

I cant seem to get this formula to work. its prefilling an airtable form but i cant get the second feild to fill. it says its a good link it just doesnt fill the second box. heres what i have CONCATENATE(‘https://airtable.com/shr4cGVHhm4dRLllz?prefill_UNIT=’,{UNIT} & ‘&PLANT=’,{ENCODE PLANT}) here is an example of what that outputs https://airtable.com/shr4cGVHhm4dRLllz?prefill_UNIT=261A&PLANT=12-CONV the unit number prefills fine but the plant does not. 261A is the data from the UNIT table. the title of the field on the form is also UNIT. 12-CONV is the data in the feild PLANT. The title of the feild on the form is also PLANT note everything in my base is in all caps and “encode plant” is all the plant names run through the url encode formula. i

Hi everyone, I’m new to Airtable and am really struggling migrating a formula. I’ve spent a couple of hours and made little progress… I am using Integromat to run a query against an Airtable date column. Basically the logic should be this “return all rows that match a specific date and time”. Anything returned (usually just one row per hour) will be then parsed by Integromat. E.g. If I set 31.08.2020 15:30 in a date field in the column, I want Integromat when it runs (every 15 minutes) to return all the contents from that row to then be processed by Integromat. I’m generally fine working out the logic in Integromat… Thanks!! :slightly_smiling_face:

Dear community, I am working on a table for an art collection. The first field is supposed to sum up my most important information about each piece with a formula: CONCATENATE({artist},", “,{title},”, “,{year},”, ",{height (cm)}, " x “, {width (cm)}, " cm” , ", ",{technique}) This works perfectly fine so far, but I am struggeling to include an IF-Formula within the existing formula: Since a few of the works have a depth worth mentioning, I also want to include the depth of the pieces in the first field, but only IF the field {depth (cm)} is NOT EMPTY. As far as i researched this would be IF (depth != BLANK (), " x ", {depth}) , but I didn’t manage to make this work, let alone yet including it into the existing one. Just to sum it up, I want the formula to be displayed like this, with the bold part only being shown if the field is not empty: artist, title, year, height x width x depth cm, technique I’m sorry if

Hi All, I’m trying to add an individual button for reach row which would redirect to different URL’s, For ex : Row 1 : Button 1 : Google.com Row 2 : Button 2 : Airtable.com so on Currently when I proceed to add the button table with a simple URL formula (image below) It proceeds to apply the same URL for all rows on the Airtable sheet, from which every button points to the same url (google.com in this case) How do I edit individual button’s URL destination?

There is a last_modified_time field. I display in it the time of the last change of the “Статус_Заказа” field. The “Статус_Заказа” field has several meanings: How can I create a formula to get the time when the “Статус_Заказа” field was last modified for a specific value? For example, “Частично_Готов”? So that when the “Статус_Заказа” field takes on a different value that is different from “Частично_Готов” - nothing happens

Hello! I am attempting to make a furniture reuse request system for my company. I have made a furniture removal form/table that generates a gallery view with the items available for reuse, and then a furniture request form that allows users to request furniture from the gallery by unique ID number. I would like to link corresponding entries between the two tables by matching the ID numbers, and bring the destination from the furniture request into the furniture removal table, to facilitate the move from point A to point B. I have made a linked column that allows the mover to manually link them, but I would like to do this automatically. I see several other people have looked for this functionality but it wasn’t supported in 2019… has any progress been made in automatically linking two tables via a function or other logic? thank you!

Hi, I want to do a select on my records according two conditions : Find in “Resource title” field a text Find in “Format” field an exact text For both conditions, I want them to be case nonsensitive because some text are written in caps, other not. So, at the moment, I’ve this : filterByFormula=AND(FIND("some text",{Resource title}),(FIND("Video",{Format}"))) And I’m getting the INVALID_FILTER_BY_FORMULA error message . So, what I’m doing wrong ? Is it possible to have the nonsensitive case research ? Thanks.
