Formulas

Hi all, I have read through the other threads regarding this subject of blank cells in a formula but wasn’t able to successfully implement a solution. In my primary field, I have a formula combining the Sponsor Name with the date the Ad Copy was submitted. The two are separated by a space. I would like to change this so that if a Sponsor Name cell is empty, that part of the formula returns “?”. Same with the “Copy Ready Format.” If that is blank, I’d like it to return “?” too. Can you help me write the formula the way? Thank you in advance!

Hello, I am trying to create a formula to track of the aging of a record. I am using date fields for this formula, the Booked date and the Funded date. I was able to come up with a formula that calculated the age, but it only calculated the age once the funded date was updated. I need to be able to keep track of the ongoing aging of each record from the date it was booked all the way to the date the record is funded. I also need the formula to stop keeping track of the aging once its been funded. for example, if a record was booked on June 1st and today is June 17th,and the record has not been funded I need to see that the record is 17 days old. However if the record was booked on June 1st and funded on June 16th, then even though today is the 17th, the formula should still show that the record is 16 days old.

Hi! Can someone tell me why my formula is not working? IF({Rating}=1, ” :star: ”, IF({Rating}=2, ” :star: :star: ”, IF({Rating}=3, ” :star: :star: :star: ”, IF({Rating}=4, ” :star: :star: :star: :star: ”, IF({Rating}=5, ” :star: :star: :star: :star: :star: ”, ))))) Basically, I want to convert a lookup value of integers into an emoji. Many thanks.

What would be the correct way to have the duration / age of a ticket in Airtable being any status that isn’t “Complete”? In the “Days Open” field I currently have got to this formula : IF(LAST_MODIFIED_TIME(Status), WORKDAY_DIFF( TODAY(), LAST_MODIFIED_TIME({Status}) ) ) What’s the best way to stop it counting once the ticket is completed?

Hi, I have issues with a checkbox that doesn’t work proper with my IF AND formula. Or more correctly, when checkbox =“1” formula works fine, but when checkbox =“0” it doesn’t. As far as I can tell, an empty checkbox is supposed to be =“0”, right? Formula looks like this: IF(AND({Win}=‘Yes’, {EW}=“1”), (({Stake} / 2) * {Odds}) + (({Stake} / 2) * {EW Odds}), IF(AND({Win}=‘Yes’, {EW}=“0”), {Stake} * {Odds}, IF(AND({Win}=‘EP’, {EW}=“1”), {Stake} / 2 * {EW Odds}, {Stake} * 0))) Works like a charm as long as the checkbox is marked, but when it’s not the 2nd Row of the formula is not working and instead the ELSE thing at the end of Row 3 kicks in. I’m a total beginner at this so my apologies for novice language or stupid question. Many thanks! Best regards, Marcus Sjöberg

Is it possible to get the last 2 digits of the creation date (year) e.g. 20 for 2020 19 for 2019. This is to use in a unique reference field (first 2 letters of name + “-” + last two letters of creation year + “-” + Auto ref number) I currently have: UPPER( LEFT(Created By,2)) & “-” & ( YEAR(CREATED_TIME()) & “-” & {Project Ref} Which gives me: E.g. AA-2020-101 Where do I insert the RIGHT(XX,2)? I’ve tried the following but with a returned #error!: UPPER( LEFT(Created By,2)) & “-” & RIGHT( ( YEAR(CREATED_TIME()),2) & “-” & {Project Ref}

I have the following formula which returns the correct amounts, except when engineer report is selected. In this case it comes up blank. All the other selections produce the expected numbers. IF(Type=“Inspection”,“300”,IF(Type=“Estimate”,“30”,IF(Type=“Engineer Report”,50,IF(Type=“Photo Report”,“20”)))) Thanks

Hello and thank you in advance for taking a look at my question! I would like to have a formula that analyzes two columns of data to return a specific amount, or 0. Column 1: # Nights Column 2: Cabin Name If # Nights is greater than or equal to 7, AND Cabin Name is “299” then $1800, if not then $0 If # Nights is greater than or equal to 7, AND Cabin Name is “514” then $1850, if not then $0 I am struggling with the logic of whether the IF statement for cabin name comes first or the # of nights comes first. Also struggling with the IF(AND…) formula - or perhaps I should be using a different formula altogether? Please help! Heather

I’m trying to grab a variable amount of text from between two consistent characters, > and <, to format HTML. I’m using Zapier to convert rich text to HTML and then using an Airtable formula to modify the URLs with UTM codes. Example below. Starting Text Cooperative Currency Desired Output Cooperative Currency From this ">Cooperative Currency< To this Cooperative%20Currency">Cooperative Currency< Thank you! ~Brian

Hello, I am trying to do a simple DATEADD function. Add X number of days to Y date. I have a date formatted column and an integer number column. The formula column has this formula in it: DATEADD({Last PM},{Interval},’days’). I’ve tried every variation of the DATEADD function that I could think of, and nothing works. I’m getting this error: “Sorry, there was a problem saving this field. Invalid formula. Please check your formula text.” I can use the WORKDAY() function, without an issue. But this isn’t what I need. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. Thoughts?

Hello airtablers, I have a field {RESPONSE} with 5 possible choices A,B,C,D,E I need to be able to give a score based on each response. So if response is A OR B score is 4 if response is C OR D score is 1 if response is E score is 3 This would be easy to solve with a switch function but the cell with responses returns all the responses concatenated in a single array (A;B;C;D;E). Is there a way to score the responses? Thanks a lot

Hi Airtable Friends, I want to combine four things in my primary field: (1) Story ID#, (2) Date, (3) Storyteller, and (4) Story Title – all separated by a " - ", of course. I was able to get the first two things with this formula: ({Story ID#} & " - " & DATETIME_FORMAT(Received, ‘DD/MM’)) & " - " But when I follow this up with {Storyteller} & " - " & {Story Title}, I get a message that says: “Sorry, there was a problem saving this field. Can’t save field because it causes a circular reference.” To be clear, here’s the full formula that keeps getting rejected: ({Story ID#} & " - " & DATETIME_FORMAT(Received, ‘DD/MM’)) & " - " {Storyteller} & " - " & {Story Title} I’ve tried a number of variations using parenthesis and curly brackets, but always get the “sorry” message. Grateful to anyone who can help me get past this irksome obstacle!

I think the formula posted to the Airtable blog here, under the heading " Figure out which date comes first :soon: " is way too complicated. The formula on the blog is posted as: IF(IF(XOR(BLANK(),{Expiration Date},{Date})=1,"",IF(OR({Date},Expiration Date)=1,IS_BEFORE({Expiration Date},{Date}),"")),“ :warning: Expired”,“Ok”) Mistake #1 is obviously that the second Expiration Date needs {}. Simple enough. But couldn’t it be written more simply as: IF(IS_BEFORE({Expiration Date},{Date}),“ :warning: Expired”,“Ok”) ? I get the same results. Even if we stick to the same original formula, I can delete all of the bolded bits and return the same results: IF(IF(XOR(BLANK(),{Expiration Date},{Date})=1,""

Hi all, pretty new here! I just want to set up a field to capture grams and kilograms (weight). Do I set cutomize the field to number? I’d like to to display KG or g like it would if I added a currency $/£/€ etc. Is this possible? Thanks for any help you can provide!

Hi, I’m writing an item order table and have been successful in pulling prices from a matrix based on qty input using the Tiered system, but I find I now need to include the ability to override the price. The Tier Formula is below and works - it populates the name of the tier based on the quantity input IF(Quantity > 1, IF(Quantity < 5, “Tier 2”, IF(Quantity >= 5, IF(Quantity < 10, “Tier 3”, IF(Quantity >= 10, IF(Quantity < 15, “Tier 4”, IF(Quantity >= 15, IF(Quantity < 25, “Tier 5”, IF(Quantity >= 25, “Bulk”)))))))), “single”) Once the tier is populated, I’m using a SWITCH formula to pull in the correct price based on the price tier SWITCH((Tier), “Single”,{Single Unit Cost}, “Tier 2”,{2-4 Units Cost}, “Tier 3”,{5-9 Units Cost}, “Tier 4”,{10-14 Units Cost}, “Tier 5”,{15-24 Units Cost}, “Bulk”, {Bulk 25+ Plus})

I have a formula I can’t figure out. My column that I want as a formula is called “Forecasted SCIP Received” To calculate this date, I need to use another column called “Actual Site Walk Date” plus a “Duration” column. However, if “Actual Site Walk Date” is empty, I need it to use “Forecasted Site Walk Date” instead, so: If the “Actual Site Walk Date” is not Empty, then “Actual Site Walk Date” + “Duration”. But if Actual Site Walk Date is empty, then “Forecasted Site Walk Date” + “Duration” How do I write this?

Hey, im trying to get the end result to change based on the input from the other inputs, I’ve currently got a simple version of this where it ticks if everything is signed off and if not then X but what I want is some form of hierarchy. e.g if everyone says they are signed off but one is blocked then the main status is blocked… similar if all are signed off but one in progress and one back burner then the status is back burner. Is this possible :slightly_smiling_face: ?

Hi everybody, I am new to using Airtable. I am sure that there is a formula for this but I can’t seem to find it or I don’t write it in a correct way. With a API service of a third party software I pull data from my Airtable. This data is dynamically filtered by using filterByFormula. The data I need is in the column called “groupcode” and has numeric values varying from 100 and 900. These numbers stand for product categories. Normally if I need products from the category with the number 212 I use the following formula. {groupcode"} =“212” But now I need products from category 212 and 268. Is there a way I can display only the records of two different specifc values ? Any suggestions or tips are appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Hi! So I have a main table which has a series of streams of work. There is a second table with ALL the activities related to those streams. The tables are linked such as on the main table it brings in ALL the activities in a string. I want to bring forward just the next activity for each stream. The roll up function works for the date but I can’t seem to get the text description in. I basically need to say. Of all the activities related to this record, give me the next one. But because they are in different tables, I’m stuck. Any tips would be very much appreciated
