Formulas

Hi everyone! I’m trying to make a formula where I can only see the date of the project is about to expire. I don’t know if that’s something it can be done, but it would really help me because I don’t want to be seen always all the dates, but only the ones I’m about to work. I hope someone can help me. Thank you in advance!

I am simply trying to divide two numbers but am receiving an Error for a result. The numerator is a # column were the denominator is a formula. Numerator: {{Lease Total}} Denominator: IF(AND({Leasing Co.}=“Ascentium”,Credit=“E”),.0499,IF(AND({Leasing Co.}=“Ascentium”,Credit=“D”),.045,IF(AND({Leasing Co.}=“Ascentium”,Credit=“C”),.0325,IF(AND({Leasing Co.}=“Ascentium”,Credit=“B”),.0295,IF(AND({Leasing Co.}=“Ascentium”,Credit=“A”),.0285,IF(AND({Leasing Co.}=“Ascentium”,Credit=“P”),.0279,IF(AND({Leasing Co.}=“FDGL (Clover)”,Credit=“E”),.0405,IF(AND({Leasing Co.}=“FDGL (Clover)”,Credit=“D”),.0405,IF(AND({Leasing Co.}=“FDGL (Clover)”,Credit=“C”),.0305,IF(AND({Leasing Co.}=“FDGL (Clover)”,Credit=“B”),.0291,IF(AND({Leasing Co.}=“FDGL (Clover)”,Credit=“A”),.0281,IF(AND({Leasing Co.}=“FDGL (Clover)”,Credit=“P”),.0271,IF(AND({Leasing Co.}=“FDGL”,Credit=“E”),.0399,IF(AND({Leasing Co.}=“FDGL”,Credit=“P”),.0265,IF(AND({Leasing Co.}=“FDGL”,Credit=“A”),.0275,IF(AND({Leasing Co.}=“FDG

How would i create a formula to output the total price as stated above? Screenshots

Hi! I’m trying to create a formula where my Primary Field is a number that I need to pull from a URL link: Currently, I am using the formula RIGHT() to tell the formula to find the last three characters from the right of the URL link, which won’t work once we get to 4 digits, or if for some reason the URL structure changes adding an extra character at the end. Is there a way to find only a number from a URL and return it as such? Thank you.

I have a table “Ethnicity”. For the purpose of this post, I’ll use Asian ethnicities as an example, but my Ethnicity table will also include ethnicities of other racial groups. On this table are entries like “Asian Indian”, “Bangladeshi”, “Bhutanese”, “Taiwanese”, “Chinese”, etc. I have another table “Contacts” which contains a column that links to Ethnicity. Each record in Contacts can be linked to multiple ethnicities. I now want a column that marks whether a record’s ethnicities fall under larger racial groups. For example, if the record is linked to “Taiwanese” or “Chinese” or both, I want the record to be marked “Yes” under the column, “Asian” What’s the best way to accomplish this?

Hello! I need some help of this community because I lack the knowledge to develop formulas. I trying to create an automated financial system using some linked tables inside a base. I have expenses categorized in a field with the options ‘‘Credit’’ and ‘‘Debit’’, which I use to separate the payment methods. The expenses also have a ‘‘Date’’ field and a ‘‘Cost’’ field. I want to create a field using a formula that brings me the data from the ‘‘Cost’’ field if the expense is payed in ‘‘Credit’’ within a specific month (actual month) in order to separate this values so I can link them to another table and use a simple SUM formula to calculate my total expenses in Credit for the actual month. So its something like: If method of payment = Credit, If date = actual month, ‘‘cost’’ I know I could simply use a filter view to see only ‘‘Credit’’ records, but as the data will be linked to another table for other operations, I cant. I would be extremely grateful if yo

I have two tables, and I want one to display a sum of a column if it meets Table 1 House # | Free Nights Total | Total Nights Used| House 1 | 5 | 4 | House 2 | 3 | 2 | House 3 | 9 | Table Two Guest Name | House # Used | Free Nights Used Guest 1 | House 1 | 2 Guest 2 | House 3 | 5 Guest 3 | House 1 | 4 What Im looking for is the “Total Nights Used” column in table 1 to total up each Houses used Free Nights Hopefully that makes sense??? And apologies if this question has already been answered!

I’m trying to insert a timestamp into a field when a value on a record changes. I’ve got this but it’s not really updating like I was expecting. IF(Stage=“3. Fruiting”, NOW(),0) It seems to be updating randomly. Any ideas?

Hi so I’m trying to write a formula to concatenate a name and a date but the date keeps coming back in long format. Is there anyway I can just have the short date (i.e. 09/05/2019) shown?

Hello! I don’t know how to do this. To simplify, let’s say I have 2 tables, one called topics with a list of article topics, and one called content with a list of articles, with a single select field categorizing the articles by country. In the topics table, I need a look up field of the articles per country - for now I just have one lookup field that shows all the articles, in all countries. So I need some sort of formula that would say “only show me the articles from the articles table which have the single select field of [country]=Belgium” Hope this makes sense - and hope it’s possible! Thank you :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi I keep getting an error when I use this formula: DATETIME_FORMAT({DATE ISSUED},‘MM-DD-YYYY’) This is what I am trying to do: Make a second formula field using DATETIME_FORMAT({DATE ISSUED},‘MM-DD-YYYY’)^ and then copy the values for all your imported CSV entries into your original “Date Issued” field. The formula field you’re using now will then produce the result you’re after. After you do this you can delete your second formula field, and convert “Date Issued” into a date field." Basically, I want to convert a text field with this date format: 1955-02-21 To this date format: Fri, November 19, 1976 Here is a screenshot of my base setup, the first DATE ISSUED is a different formula. It’s the second DATE ISSUED formula that I am trying to get working: I would appreciate any

Hi there! I’m trying to determine the count and order date of specific items needed for students at many classroom sites, each site completing multiple projects over a season of classes. This calculation would be based on these inputs: units per each of a standard list of materials needed, per individual project, e.g. wheels for three different projects that use anywhere from two to six wheels. (Projects Table) List of sites, with number of enrolled students (Sites Table) Program Start and End Dates (Sites Table) Current inventory of materials, e.g. wheels in stock (Inventory Table) Lead time needed for delivery of materials from order date (Inventory Table) And result in three outputs (destinations): total units needed per item, subtracting items in stock (Sites Table) Total units needed, per item (Inventory table) Dates Needed (Sites Table) This may be bigger than a

I regularly pull reports from multiple systems that include product IDs. These IDs are always a series of letters followed by numbers (e.g., ABC 123, WXYZ 9876). The number of letters can vary between 3 and 6 characters and the same goes for the numbers. The problem I’m having is that in one system, there is no space within the ID (e.g., ABC123) while in the other system, there is always a space between the letters and numbers (e.g., ABC 123). Since the number of characters can vary, I’m having trouble finding a formula that basically looks at the cell and adds a space when it finds a number. Any help is appreciated! Update: If it helps, this formula is what does what I’m looking for in Excel =TRIM(REPLACE(A2,MIN(FIND({1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0},A2&“1234567890”)),0," ")) TRIM, REPLACE, and FIND all exist in Airtable but I’m not sure how to use FIND to search for any combination of items (e.g., 1 OR 2 OR 3…) like you can in the above Excel formula.

Hallo I am trying to apply a multiplier to a lookup field based on a checkbox or multiple selection. In short, if the checkbox is checked, a lookup would be multiplied by a certain amount (for example 200), else it would not. Similar to: IF ((checkbox)=1, LOOKUP*200, LOOKUP) Another possibility would be: IF ((multiple select)=A, LOOKUPx200, (multiple select)=B, LOOKUPx300,(multiple select)=C, LOOKUPx400) Hope this is clear - strong text is this feasible? best Luca

Hi, I’m using the Recipe Organizer template. I would like to add another view that calculates the total number for each ingredients. For example: Recipe 1 - Big Salad - consists of:6 Cucumbers and 8 Tomatoes. Recipe 2 - Small Salads - consists of:3 Cucumbers and 4 Tomatoes. The user needs to prepare 10 Big Salads and 4 Small Salads. The output should be 72 Cucumbers and 96 Tomatoes. Is it possible? Thank you, Sam

Hello fellow community members, I have a sheet (Sheet1) which has multiple columns - say ConfigValue1, ConfigValue2. Then I have a column called Result that calculates a result using those values and values (Logic1, Logic2) from Sheet2. In Sheet1:Result, I want Sheet1:ConfigValue1 x Sheet2:Logic1 + Sheet1.ConfigValue2 x Sheet2:Logic2. Note that the logic could be a bit more complicated. I could put the logic right into Sheet1, but the issue is that we want to have a separate interface for entering logic. Thanks!

Hi everyone, Looking for some help on this case … The user enters any one value (ISBN Code or Author Name) in the form and gets a result (Book Details corresponding to the author or ISBN Code) displayed in view link. I have created a MASTER CONTENT table A, with columns naming ‘ISBN Code’, ‘book name’, ‘pages’, ‘author’, with "ISBN code’ as the primary field. From another table B, I have created a USER SEARCH form, in which "ISBN code’ column is linked with table A. IN the form, the user enters the ‘ISBN code’ and in return in VIEW of the table, A gets other values corresponding to ISBN Code like Book name/Author Name etc. from Table A using Look Up. Now I want to create an option in the form in which a User has the option to either fill the ‘code’ or ‘author’ & he can similarly view all the details from table A? How to pull and Display values by entering either - in the same filed or two separate fields in the Form? Tha

Hi, I’m trying to create a formula that flags (with a 1 or 0) when a certain 5 digit number code is present in either a linked record field, or a field of arrays (whatever is easiest). For example, I was attempting: ``IF( OR( FIND(‘68100’,{Combined Codes & Tags (all)}), FIND(‘41100’,{Combined Codes & Tags (all)}), ), 1,0)`` But this only works when I have two possible options of codes. I’m actually looking for the presence of 5 different codes. What is the best way to do this?

Hi Community, I set up a form to prefill using the URL. The field it autofilled was a drop down select look up from another table. I am 99% sure I tested the form an it worked fine. I have now tried to do a similar lookup and cannot get it to prefill. So I went back to the place I’d originally done it and now that is not working either! Has something changed in airtable? Or is there another explanation? Please help if you can! Best, Nathan

I was wondering if there was a formula I could use for day of the month in which I can enter the day and not have it always being current day each time? I need it connected to a time percentage. The reason is we have metrics we put in, but I can’t put it in every day. If someone looks at my tab, they will see the current date and assume that the numbers are updated. We also run campaigns that may only last a few days out of the month. I just need the first day of the month to be a manual entry attached to the formula for time. I apologize if this is a silly question.

IS Airtable down? Can not connect !!!
