Formulas

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.

Hi all, I’m currently struggling with a thorny Airtable formula issue. I think I need to be considering using a nested IF statement or a SWITCH formula, but i’m not 100% convinced that either will work. Here’s my problem statement… I need to analyse the outputs of five columns, each of which is populated by a unique, formula-generated text value. Based on different combinations of these text values, I need to display a different summary sentence. I thought that I could solve this issue by using the following nested IF statement… IF({Biz Rules Provided Summary} = “Incomplete”,“Awaiting Business Rules”, IF({Analysis Complete Summary}) = “Analysis Incomplete”, “Awaiting Analysis”, IF({Screen Designed Summary}) = “Design Incomplete”,“Awaiting Screen Design”, IF({Developed Summary}) = “Dev Incomplete”,“Development Incomplete”, IF({Function Configured}) = “Config Incomplete”,“Awaiting Configuration”,“Function Configured”))))) However, thi

Am I doing something wrong here? For decimal values inside a string, “0.5 some text” or “12.1 some text”, when I use, Value(left(0.5),4), I do not receive the decimal value. It will return the first integer of number. Is there a different want to return the decimal number found on the left most side of the string as mentioned above? J

I was wondering if someone can assist with the following. I’m trying to create an “If” formula for my “Previous Job #” column Depending on the “Type” I will be either a “capital” or “service” If service then the value is “Not applicable” and if Capital then I have an ID number to enter I understand the first portion, but I don’t get how to get it to let me enter my own values if it’s not a “service” IF(Type = “Service”, “Not Applicable”)

Ok, so I have a total column in which I have Sum()ed many column fields in it, to be used as a Rollup column on another table. it looks like this: SUM({5" }+{6" }+{DS$}+{Elb }+{IN/M }+{O/M }+{Endcaps }+{H/H }+{Wedg}+{Off$}+{B/P$}+{D/E$}+{Screw$}+{12" Gh }+{14" Gh }+{18" Gh }+{Perf }+{IN/C }+{O/C }+{GH Endcaps }+{Diverters }+{Brackets }+{MicroScreen }+{EvN Flo }+{MidWest }+{Sofit Vent$}) Now this formula works, but I had to HAND ENTER every column name in the formula. Is there a way to perhaps Right click and drag or ctrl click or something to select what columns I want to put into the formula? Similar to what I would have done in Excel? Anything to speed up the formula making in the future. It took

I am looking for a way to use the REPLACE() formula function to replace values in a Multi-select column with different values on a new column. For example: The original column contains column Type of question with multi-select values bug-report, enhancement. Can we create a new column called Type of question (new) with the corresponding new values: bug-report-new and enhancement-new?

I am looking to create a database to automatically grade multiple choice exams. I have one sheet with the correct grades and then one sheet with the student grades. There are a couple of ways to do it with Excel - the easiest is to create an extra grading sheet that uses a Boolean countif to check the student’s answers against the correct answers cell by cell and add 1 to all the cells that are correct [COUNTIF(Student!E5, Correct!E$2)]. Is there any way to set up something similar with Airtable?

Hi again, Trying to write an IF statement for a cost catagory. This is what I have now. {12" GH} * 25.0 BUT I would like it to say: IF ({12" GH} is a multiple of 4, * 125, (Roundup ({12" GH}) * 25))) If the field is NOT a multiple of 4, I’d like it to round UP the field to the nearest whole integer. How would I write that? Thank you!

Hi, I’m trying to create a column that will calculate commission on the Sales Price of a job for me, but only if the Commission checkbox is checked. But I can’t get it to work! Here is what I have: IF({Commission?} = 1, SUM({Paid (Sold)})*.1 , 0) What did I do wrong? All it returns are $0.00 even if I have a Checkbox marked! Thank you for your help!

Hi, I’d like to create a calendar in date format ie like a wall calendar similar to what you can do in excel. How do I do this please?

Hey Airtable Community, I have a “Forecast” table in Airtable that I’m using to track various line item costs of a particular project. Each row has the following basic fields: Spend Description, Planned Spend, Start Date, End Date, Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4. I’d like to be able to use a formula to calculate planned spend by quarter… essentially place line item costs into the Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 fields. I’m new to formulas overall, particularly ones involving dates. I thought I could work around my own limitations by creating a “Spend Month” Multi-Select field, selecting the spend months for each line item, (for example January, February, March) and using the below formula to calculate quarterly spend. In a field called “Q1” I’m using the formula: IF(OR({Spend Month}=“January”,{Spend Month}=“February”,{Spend Month}=“March”),{Planned Spend}) However, I’m running into several issues. The most pressing issue is that there are some costs that span multiple q

After solving an earlier query about setting my formula and linking a client and rates table I now need to create a column which averages out my earnings from clients. Should this be in my clients table or do I need to create a separate table for this? I now have records with the numbers of sessions for each client and total earnings for each client - all in my clients table - so where and how should my average income per client calculation go please? Thanks in advance Liz

I am trying to calculate the number of months to an 18th birthday. I start with the Date of Birth and add 18 years to that. I format that date so that I get DD/MM/YYYY and not the American MM/DD/YYYY. That works fine. Now I use the following formula in the next column: DATETIME_DIFF({18th Birthday},TODAY(),‘months’). I get a result (3 months instead of 5) which indicates that it is using (In think) the American date and reading the month and year backwards. Is there anyway around this?

Is there a way to use hard coded dates in a date calculation e.g. Date Diff(1/1/2019,Today()). I can get the right calculation if both dates are in fields but the moment put in a hard coded date it doesn’t work. Any ideas?

I’m trying to generate a URL for each record by inserting record details (source, signup email address, and referrer email address) so that I can pass and track our signup forms.
