Formulas

Hi, I’m using a lookup field which aggregates a list of single selects (containing values like : “Yes”, “No”). Within the lookup fields, I’m using the formula : ARRAYJOIN(values) It works great. Then I have a formula field with a FIND() : FIND("Yes", {my lookup colomn}) The result I get with this formula is way below the amount I am supposed to get. About 3 times lower. Even stranger, if I change the lookup formula to ARRAYJOIN(values, ', '), I get yet a different number. What gives? Thanks for your help!

Hello Airtablers! For my CRM I’m trying to automate the ranking of my prospects from “ :fire: Flaming hot” to " :skull: Dead". I tried using a SWITCH formula but got in difficulties, so I reverted to IF and DATETIME_DIFF. I want to switch between the 6 values below and though I managed an IF statement with just 2 values, when I try 6 (and DATETIME_DIFF) I get no-where (I even checked for curly brackets, straight quote marks and the number or parentheses)! Can you help? I tried the following: IF({Last Contact}=TODAY(),"🔥 Hot!", IF((DATETIME_DIFF{Last Contact},TODAY(),'days')>3,"🌡 Warm", IF((DATETIME_DIFF{Last Contact},TODAY(),'days')>7,"😎 Chilled", IF((DATETIME_DIFF{Last Contact},TODAY(),'days')>21,"🚰 Tepid", IF((DATETIME_DIFF{Last Contact},TODAY(),'days')<90,"🥶 Cold", "💀 Dead!") ) ) ) ) Thanks in advance!

We use Airtable to manage a sourcing catalog. We gather price quotes from vendors in one table and use those quotes to build out customer orders in another. Selecting a quote record applies the price to customer orders. This means a single product can have multiple quotes associated with it for different quantities ordered. Quotes have a date, quantity, and price associated with them. I currently use a Lookup field to display the associate quotes per product into a view that we share with customers so they can see product descriptions, photos, and the prices at different order quantities. Table A (Product Info) Looks Up linked quotes in Table B (Vendor Quotes) The problem is that vendors might change prices over time and I don’t want the Lookup field to display quotes that are not the most recent, but I still want the Lookup field to display a quote for each quantity. Currently, if in March I receive quotes for a Product A at 500 units, 100 units, and 50 units my Look

I am trying to transfer my google sheets formula to airtable and I’m not sure how to do it. I have a form where people enter data. I want to create a possibility for me to look through that data from a certain date range and give me the sum. Here is the google formula, please let me know if you can help me transfer that to Airtable. Time log is a “sheet” or tab or page (whatever you want to call it) in my document =SUMIFS(‘time log’!E:E,‘time log’!B:B,C4,‘time log’!C:C,">="&A4,‘time log’!C:C,"<="&B4)

Hi… I understand spreadsheets but am new to databases. I have Base A that contains data about PhD students. The first field is Surname/FirstName. The base holds around 160 fields including 3 separate fields for 1) Principal Supervisor; 2) Associate Supervisor #1; 3) Associate Supervisor #2. I have a second Base that contains data about the Supervisors. I would like to create a field in this 2nd base that pulls the Surname/FirstName of every student from Base A where the supervisors name is present in Principal Supervisor; Associate Supervisor #1 or Associate Supervisor #2. Is this possible? In excel I think I would do this with an IF - VLOOKUP formula but I can’t see how to reference the other table.

Hello! I’m trying to write a formula to get a bell emoji if a record has been modified after the date we close our quarterly reporting by.

Any help would be massively appreciated! :grinning_face_with_big_eyes: Thank you! Belén

Hi all, I’m trying to build a formula field that only displays the dates of records that have “Event”. My formula is: IF(FIND(“Event”,Name)>=1,DATETIME_PARSE(Date),"") My FIND() condition works, but outputs the ISO date format of {date}. My goal is to output the format exactly as it is in {date}, a date object. Anyone know what I’m missing from my formula? E.g. 2020-02-25T00:00:00.000Z should be 25/2/2020. Thanks all.

Hi there, I’m trying to work with video timecode and the DURATION field type doesn’t cut the mustard, as I need HH:MM:SS:FF (frames) formatting. See another post on this at Video Timecode Field I’ve found a great pair of Excel formulas to convert FRAMES into HH:MM:SS:FF and back, but I would really appreciated help turning this from EXCEL into AIRTABLE syntax please, where cell A1 could be another text field… =VALUE(LEFT(A1,2))6060*30+VALUE(MID(A1,4,2))6030+VALUE(MID(A1,7,2))*30+RIGHT(A1,2) Example: A1: 01:06:46;11 RESULT: 120191 =TEXT(MOD(INT(INT(INT(ABS(A2)/30)/60)/60),60),“00”)&":"&TEXT(MOD(INT(INT(ABS(A2)/30)/60),60),“00”)&":"&TEXT(MOD(INT(ABS(A2)/30),60),“00”)&";"&TEXT(MOD(ABS(A2),30),“00”) Example: A2: 112019 RESULT: 01:02:13;29 Thanks in advance!!

Could someone tell me what I’m doing wrong? For some reason this formula is able to input the money amount for job 1, 2, 3, and 5 but it shows up blank for job 4. What’s going on? IF( {Job Type} = ‘Job 1’, “$ Amount”, IF( {Job Type} = ‘Job 2’, “$$ Amount”, IF( {Job Type} = ‘Job 3’, “$$$ Amount”, IF( {Job Type} = ‘Job 4’, “$$$$ Amount”, IF( {Job Type} = ‘Job 5’, “$$$$$ Amount” )))))

Hi guys, The result of my formula is not recognised as a date… Here’s what the formula’s supposed to do: Firts I set the project deadline date. To execute the project a few actions needs to be done. I made a single selection field to choose how much days or weeks in advance the action needs to be done. For example “1 week” in advance. The formula I created is fairly simple: [Deadline date] - [Select time] = New date This is the code I made: IF({Select time} = “1 week”, DATETIME_FORMAT(DATEADD({Deadline date}, -7, ‘days’), “DD/MM/YYYY”) Can anybody help me so that my result is recognised as a date? I tried leaving out the " " but it gave me an error. Thanks!

Example: I have 3 fields, 1 multi select, and 2 checkboxes Reason - Summary: Multi-Select Reason - Wedding: Checkbox Reason - Vacation: Checkbox What I want to do is be able to update the value of the multi-select field based upon the checkboxes that correspond to an option. For instance: IF( {Reason-Wedding} = 'True"), THEN(select “Wedding” from {Reason} options) If this is easier done upon importing the record using Zapier could you please point me in the right direction.

Hello, I’m also new to Airtable. I’m wrestling with one thing that is very easy in Excel (or Google Sheets), but I haven’t be able to find how it can be implemented in Airtable. I’ve created a Table. I add a record ever day to track the number of occurrences such as: Visitors to an establishment. Date Day Visits % Change 23.3. Mo 27 NA 25.3. Tu 28 = (28/27)-1 (in formula in Excel (C2/C1) - 1 26.3. We 30 = (30/28)-1 (in formula in Excel (C3/C2) - 1 27.3 Th 35 = (35/30)-1 (in formula in Excel (C4/C3) - 1 etc Where the % Change Column (or Field in Airtable speak) is, of course, calculated by a Formula. How can I achieve this with Airtable? Any help would be very much appreciated. Peter

I have a task I want to do that I think should be pretty simple…but I can’t figure out how to do it in Airtable. I have one cell with a list of numbers, separated by commas (“2, 3, 4, 5, 6”) and I want another cell to give me the average (“4”). In google sheets I was able to do it with [=average(split(A3,", "))] but I can’t seem to find anything similar in airtable. Thanks!

I love Airtable! My goal is to use it for genealogy research which can be complicated, so I started with something fairly easy to learn different ways of doing things. My first base is a Pet Meds and Vet visits. Below is what I’ve tried, but I’m stuck on #3. If there’s a better way to do what I’m trying to accomplish, let me know! I’ve used SQL before, but it’s been a long time ago. 1 - I have a Prescription table which lists all the meds each of my pets has gotten (vaccinations and meds they take daily (Active meds)). I have a checkbox column for the Active meds in the Prescription table. #2 - Then I have a Pets table with 5 pets. I linked the prescription table to the Pets table. Now, the Pets table shows all the meds a specific pet has ever been given in the Prescrip

I need some Airtable Formula help. I am trying to merge the below. I’ve been looking at it so long I can’t work out what is going on any more! This works: IF({Rejected}, IF({Rejection Reason}=“Unresponsive”,“Unresponsive”, IF({Rejected}, IF({Rejection Reason}!=“Unresponsive”,“Rejected”)))) And this does too: IF(Rejected}=BLANK(),IF({Status 1}+{Status 2}=2,“Done”, IF(Rejected}=BLANK(),IF({Status 1}+{Status 2}=1,“One of two”, IF(Rejected}=BLANK(),IF({Status 1}+{Status 2}=0,“Pending” )))))) However, if I put them together, then it only displays the results of the first 2 lines. If I switch it around so the 3 lines goes first, then it only displays the results of the 3 lines. Not sure why but any help gratefully received. :pray:
