Hey guys, I am wondering how I would go about importing text from another field like “Diamond Plus” and translating it into “diamond-plus”? Any way to do this without just building a really long IF statement? Thanks so much, Adam

I’m building something for my client wherein they choose a single-select and it will show results for 6 total fields based off that selection: i.e. If x = selection1, then 1 = A, 2 = B, 3 = C, 4 = D, 5 = E, 6 = F If x = selection 2, then 1 = B, 2 = C, 3 = D, 4 = E, 5 = F, 6 = G If x = selection 3, then 1 = C, 2 = D, 3 = E, 4 = F, 5 = G, 6 = H I’ve included screenshots and my formulas below and I cannot figure out WHY “Round 3” shows blank when I’m like 100% positive that the formula is correct. Please help! Formula 1 for “Round 1”: IF(T({Choose Item Type & Round}) = “charge-offDOLA”, “remove this account due to the fact that there are different dates last active reported. How can there be different dates when this is what stipulates when

I would like to utilize a formula to calculate pricing that is contained within Single Select text. One of my fields includes a Single Select drop down like this: Heading: {Initial Program Cost} 325 for Massage (first 3 hours) The next field includes a Single Select drop down like this: Heading: {Additional Hourly Cost} 125 for Massage (each additional hour) The next field includes a number: Heading: {Additional Hours} 3 **I am looking for a formula that would calculate the total cost: {Initial Program Cost} + {Additional Hourly Cost}*{Additional Hours} 325+375 I would appreciate any help!!!

Hello – I’m creating a database of projects for a company with offices in multiple companies. Ideally I’d love to be able to input a budget value into a column and have it auto assign a currency based on the office location. Is there an example or a best practice for how to achieve this?

Going to make another request on here for anyone who has done this… I’m trying to look through characters in the records in one of my columns (it’s a combination of letters and numbers), and I’m trying to get rid of the letters so only numbers remain. For example, “I have 3 dogs” would get changed to “3”. Tried doing something like the below, but no luck… SUBSTITUTE(twilio_text, OR(“a”,“e”,“i”,“o”,“u”),"") I tried the same thing with AND() and no luck either. I know if I can do this, I’ll probably need to combine the result with TRIM() to get only the number value. Has anyone done anything like this before? To be transparent, I got this recommendation for a different column I was trying to create… IF( ** FIND(‘black’, Text) > 0, ** ** ‘black’,** ** IF(** ** FIND(‘white’, Text) > 0, ** ** ‘white’,** ** IF(** ** FIND(‘brown’, Text) > 0, ** ** ‘brown’*

Hi there, I’m not too familiar with formulas in general and haven’t succeeded after reading many posts. I need to have a pre-filled selling price column under certain circumstances. I’m not sure if it’s possible to have many ranges as I’m requesting. The multiplying doesn’t need to happen in the same column, I just need to get the “x multiply by” number in a column first. Here are the different circumstances in a table (with examples in the last 2 columns), and written out how I think they should be for a formula. If PC is between these two numbers, then multiply by X. IF(pc<=2,“3.5”, IF(pc>=2.01,“3”, IF(pc<=5,“3” IF(pc>=5.01,“2.5”, IF(pc<=7,“2.5” IF(pc>=7.01,“2”, IF(pc<=10,“2” IF(pc>=10.01,“1.75”, IF(pc<=40,“1.75” Any help is much appreciated! Erika

Hello Airtable community. I’m playing around with the formula field reference, and I’m not finding exactly what I’m looking for. I have a long text field, where I’m collecting messages. I’m basically trying to extract key words out of it and save those words to corresponding columns. For example, for the message “I have a young brown puppy who is a male”, I want to break that out into columns so dog_color would get a value of ‘brown’, dog_gender would get a value of ‘male’, etc. I’m sure there’s a solution using some combination of formulas like FIND, SEARCH, TRIM, etc., but I figured I’d send a message to the community while I try figuring it out myself. Thanks!

I have one column (Draws) that is single select, numbers 1 through 100. The driver would pick the number 55, for example. In the next column will be Returns. I want to make the it so the choice could NOT be over 55 (of course) for the amount of returns available. So basically, the answer in the Returns column cannot exceed the answer in the Draws column. UPDATE: I have created a separate field with an IF formula that will output the word ERROR if the number exceeds the previous column’s number. This works well. However, it seems to be seeing the Single Select numbers incorrectly. For example, if I put in 10 in the first column and 9 in the second, it is seeing 9 as greater than the 1 in the number 10. HELP!

Firstly I love airtable and it has provided a ton of solutions to our company. I am having trouble solving this. I would like to know, how many projects were running concurrently on the same date. So for example: August 1, we had item A and item B going, on august 3 we started item C, and august 4 we started items D, E, and F. On Aug 5, we finished item A and Item C. I would like to see the data like this. Each one of these items will get a start date and an end date. Aug 1: Item A and Item B (2) Aug 2: Item A and Item B (2) Aug 3: Item A, Item B, and Item C (3) Aug 4: Item A, Item B, Item C, Item D, Item E, and Item F (6) Aug 5: Item B, Item D, Item E and Item F (4) I have been using WORKDAY_DIFF currently to count how many days these items ran for. The end goal is I would like to divide an overhead cost to into each items depending on how many items are currently running so using the same example Aug 1: 2 1

Hey,I am looking for some help with a formula I am working on. I’m trying to achieve the below statement. IF {role} = “HOT” OR “BUS” AND {payment method}= “Checkout”, then ({Total Payment Received}*0.0275+0.75) ELSE 0 THE {role} within my formula is a “linked” field so I am unsure if that is causing an issue? Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks

I am using this table as a punch clock. Each record is a time stamp for moving to a different repair order or stopping work entirely. So Each record needs to be able to identify how long it was until another record was created (only within a specified view). I currently have integromat free version hooked up for another table, so if I can avoid 3rd party integration for this that would be great. Also noted: The primary field obviously uses the created time field to time stamp, but I also have a date/time field worked in with an IF statement that can be used to effectively “edit” the created time. Thank you.

I want to perform a vlookup into a separate table. Similar to in excel, you can vlookup from another tab. However, it seems the only way to do that is by using the lookup field. That is pretty straightforward, however the field with the linked records must be a text field. I’d like to have that be a formula. Here is an example: Create formula that combines two columns. This creates a unique value I want to use that unique value (that uses the formula) as the value to lookup into another table to pull in a value from that table. Is this possible? I just want to execute what a simple vlookup would do in excel, but by using a formula instead of single text to be the value that lookups into the second table.

Hi I am trying to change the decimal point in some numbers, to be used in Integromat, using ceil or floor options. I tried using the decimal option in GS, but it didn’t work. Apparently, I need to extract the numerical value, by using split + get functions, then use the math functions floor or ceil. I wondered if someone can help. I managed to create an expression, with some help, apparently I have to use “String” after ”Split” were “1.value” is, but I was a bit stumped, do I place a value there or use a tag? If it’s a value and I want to change the decimal position from 24.01 to 24, how would I write it? If it’s a tag, we’re would I find it? Also, were do I place the “Temperature: Day” tag? Thank you, Mary This is what I would like to convert:

How do I format the results of a numeric formula? For instance for a formula that sums a number of values from fields in my table into a new numeric field, how can I generate a “$” in front of those values automatically, and possibly format the numbers with a comma for a thousands separator?This is my working sum formula: SUM({WC Revenue},{GL Revenue},{GH Revenue},{CP Revenue},{CA Revenue},{EPLI Revenue},{D&O Revenue},{PL Revenue},{KMLI Revenue},{LI Revenue},{HFLH Revenue},{EL Revenue},{GK Revenue},{ProL Revenue},{HO Revenue},{PA Revenue},{Bond Revenue},{Payroll Revenue}) Anything I can add to this to generate the “$” and/or the thousands separator? Thanks!

Hey everyone, I’m trying to create a hotel room capacity plan so I can see if we have enough rooms of a category left or if we’re overbooked. I have one table where I create rows for each speaker who needs a hotel room from arrival to departure date. In another table I have my capacity plan that applies for each day. Now I’m trying to make a capacity plan for each day for each room to see if we’re overbooked or have spare rooms. I know how to do it in Excel but am not quite sure how to continue here. I started with another table that has all dates and booked and available rooms but don’t know how to get all booked rooms within in the date ranges. Appreciate your feedback. Isabelle

Hello. My first post here, so please be gentle :slightly_smiling_face: I have the following scenario The price for renting Video Equipment is different based on how long you rent it … 1-6 days, price A 7-27 days, price B 28 days +, price C Each of the prices is rental for ONE DAY (24 hours) So the Price is multiplied with the number of days … so far so good, The Prices are calculated in the Equipment Tab The amount for the Rental is calculated in the Rentals Tab I have managed to come up with a nesten IF statement, that prints to a STATUS field, and that works just fine … is prints something like “Singel day Price”, “Weekly Price” and “Monthly Price” It goes like … IF(DATETIME_DIFF({End},{Start},“d”)<7,“Daily Price”,IF(DATETIME_DIFF({End},{Start},“d”)<=27,“Week Price”,IF(DATETIME_DIFF({End},{Start},“d”)<=90,“Month Price”,""))) pardon my translation :slightly_smiling_face: Now I try to do

Hi there, help needed! I have an arrival and a departure date, different dates over a 2 week period, I then need 14 columns with if/then formulas so I can get a room count for each specific night. In Excel I had =if(departure=>[date],"-",if(arrival=<[date],1,"-")). In [date] I had each night’s date. I’ve tried the same in Airtable and it isn’t happy. Not sure how I should be specifying the [date] I am trying to analyse! Hope that make sense to someone and I can find a solution! Thanks

Hy Guys, We’re trying to do a formula in order to create a new graph within our dahsboard. However it keeps telling us that: => Y-axis field “Pourcentage_retard” is not numeric The formula that we’re using is: => IF(nb_intervention=0, “0”, inter_retard/nb_intervention) I’m wondering if a need to add a formula to switch to numeric. Thanks in advance!

I am have two tables. In table 1, I have: a (non-primary) field with 3 single select options (let’s call it field A) a field linked to records in table 2 (field B) In table 2 , I have: the table’s primary field, from field B in table 1 (field C) a field that counts the number of linked records (field D) I would like to filter the field that counts the number of linked records (field C) in table 2 so it only counts for one of the 3 single select field (field A) in table 1. I looked around the forum, and some answers seemed to deal with the same issue but I could not get any to work for my case.

I am trying to have AirTable take an ID number (from column a) and pull first and last names into columns b and c. I would like to use a second table as the reference sheet that would only hold this information (ID, First Name, Last Name). I have done something similar to this in Google Sheets by using a second sheet in the file to reference this information and then I have the following script running: function onOpen(event) { var FirstNameInsert = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange(‘B2:B2000’); var LastNameInsert = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange(‘C2:C2000’); var FirstNameFormula = “=vlookup(A2:A20000,‘Active Students’!A:C,2,false)”; var LastNameFormula = “=vlookup(A2:A20000,‘Active Students’!A:C,3,false)”; var FirstNameCheckCell = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange(‘firstname’).getValue; var LastNameCheckCell = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange(‘lastname’).getValue; if ( FirstNameCheckCell != FirstName

I am new to Airtable and trying to use lookup to pull first and last names based on an ID number in a table (called log) that will be constantly receiving new records. I have a second table set up with all of the ID numbers, first names, and last names that is linked, and the lookup set for the first and last name fields. However, with the lookup I am only getting the names for the first occurrence of an ID and they are not loading for any new records that are created. I have the settings enabled to allow linking to multiple records. How can I get it so that the first and last name automatically load for all records.

Hallo I am trying to print the grid view and I always get the last column printed in separate pages, no matter if I specify “fit to page width” or actual size. I am printing on A4 using acrobat and a xerox printer, no difference. so its not driver specific. can you pls help ?

Greetings! I am reaching out for assistance with a formula field (admittedly not my strong suit!). I am tasked with tracking a declining balance fund used to pay for event expenditures. I have the following columns: item, estimated expense, actual expense, fiscal year. Ideally there would be two additional formula fields that would subtract each new expense from the starting balance. As expenses are added, I would be able to see the declining balance. My failed attempt: SUM(5000.00-{actual expense}). It appeared to be working for the first entry I made, but then went haywire when new entries were added to the table. Any assistance would be greatly appreciate.

Hey there, I am a total Airtable rookie and I am wondering how I create a formula for the following case: I want to create a field that has a marked checkbox when the record is active. The record is active when the date in the field ‘Move out’ is today or less than today. Thanks for your help! Best, Didi

I’ve got a column that automatically generates our suggested retail price (based on labor, materials, etc.). I want to add a column that rounds that number (up or down) to the nearest 5.99 or 9.99. So if it calculates the suggested retail is $10.25, I want there to be a second column that says $9.99. If it suggests $14.87, the other column says $15.99 etc.
