Formulas

I have a column named “Weights” with values like “1.0” or “2.2” that I use for basic item ordering. x.0 = default item x.1 = first optional item x.2 = second optional item eg: 1.0 - Include 2.0 - Include 3.0 - Include 3.1 - Exclude 3.2 - Exclude 4.0 - Include 5.0 - Include I’m using a Rollup field to add up prices, but it’s including all the optional items in the sum, where I only want the default items included. My thought was "Create a formula field that outputs the Total Price field, but only if the far-right character of the value of the Weights column was a zero, if it’s anything other than zero, then set the price to “0” instead… Then create a rollup field on that “Total Prices Without Optional Values” column… Can’t figure out how to get RIGHT() to show me the right-most character of the Weights field so far…

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has an excel template (or Airtable?) that has some embedded formulas to prefill a form and would be so kind to share it with me? I’m trying to create one myself but I’m only intermediate at excel, and the form I’m using has about 20 prefilled fields (plus the record ID at the top hooked in with a Zap to update the record). Issues I’m struggling with is using the TEXTJOIN and CONCAT formulas, especially given that the fields are sometimes long text with multiple spaces. Happy to collaborate with my current work too. Regards, Tom.

I want to execute my own third-party code when I set the value for a record. For example, when I set the value for my applicant to be “Pending”, I want to trigger a texting API to send that applicant an SMS. Can you guide me on how to do so

Hi All! I’m new and I have a basic question. I’m an investor organizing our deals. I need to do the following: In my 1st table, I have a field called “Priority”. One of the options within the Field is: “No Interest”. When I select “No Interest”, I want that record to automatically populate another table called “Deals Declined”. I’ve looked at the following Help article but unfortunately, I can’t get it to work. Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

I am trying to make a simple formula that would show a total amount available between two fields if a third field had a particular category in it. IF {Type of Credit}=“Credit Card” then({Total Credit}-{Total Amount Due:}) I have not been successful getting the syntax right, but I am a new user to airtable and am probably still thinking like a spreadsheet… Thank you for your help! Colleen

I am having trouble getting this formula to work. I need it to calculate 28 days from column one and insert the date in column two, and if no date exists in column one the second column should be blank, any help would be greatly appreciated guys, thanks.

What service do you use for background checks? Checkr.com does not support airtable

I have two columns when a date is inserted in the first column the second column adds 20 days and populates a date which is fine, however I keep getting an error in the second column when a date in the first column has not been entered, what do I need to add in the formula so if the date is blank in the first column no error will be returned in the second column, thank you guys!

What’s an efficient way to see if a time of day is after another. For example, let’s say I have a client who says, “please call me only after noon.” How should I structure a column (text? datetime?) containing their stated time and a second column (for a logical test) to tell me if it is ok to call at the current time? Thanks.

I want to duplicate a single-line text column into a different table, but have both columns update regardless of which one is edited. I.e. I want Column 1 in Table A to be identical to Column 1 in Table B, and if I make changes to the column in Table A or B, it’s reflected in both A and B. Can someone help me with this?

Hi! I was wondering if there was a quicker way to do this. Airtable Grid view - Airtable Explore the "Grid" view on Airtable. I’m trying to split the categories in Column A into Different Multiple Selection Items for Column B. I will review the similar / suggested topics as well. Thank you!

I have a field linked to another table, and when I use roolup with ARRAYJOIN, it didn’t keep original sequences. For example, the sequence of the linked field is [a, b, c], but the output of the roolup is “c, b, a”.

Hi I made two columns (1 for current and 1 for complete) to count how many projects are linked to each contact I have. When I made the formula with an & it added 2+0=20? When I changed the & to a , it is now calculating the correct amount 2+0=2 Why is this?

How to change the map marker color based on a column value for eg. company type

Ah! ALL of my fields that incorporate the SWITCH() function are suddenly returning “#ERROR!”. Is anyone else having this problem? It happened when I just created a new field using that formula as well…

I wanted to enter emails into an airtable. Each email would be its own record and their would be three fields - open rate (percentage), click rate (percentage), and ‘tags’ (multi-choice). I want to be able to average the click rate/open rates based on the different tags I give the emails. So say I have a tag called ‘topic 1’. I want airtable to create an average of all the open rates or click rates for all the emails with the tag ‘topic 1’ in the multi-choice tag field.

Hello, First post and couldn’t find the answer. I’m trying to create a nested IF. Field A, single select as choice 1, 2, or 3. Field B, is a Date Field C, is a Date Field D, is a Date I’d like to the formula to check the value of Field A. If it’s 1, return date from B, If it’s 2, return date from C If it’s 3, return date from D Thanks!

Hi All, I am loving the new Last Modified Time as I have been waiting for this ever since we started using Airtable but now I have run into an issue. I would like the LMT to see when I add a new project that the lookup field finds in another table but Airtable isn’t allowing me to do this. I read that you can create a formula to get around this but I can’t seem to figure out how to make that work. Thanks for the help.

Hi, I have migrated my data from Google sheet and each record has a unique code (i.e. TO-1234). I want to autogenerate a new number in increments of 1 for each record that is added which shold not a duplicate of any previous code listed in the field. ; in regex the formula is: =MAX( ARRAYFORMULA( value( if(REGEXREPLACE({N3:N9290},“TO-”,"")=“XXXX”, “”, REGEXREPLACE({N3:N9290},“TO-”,"")) ) ) )+1 I can’t figure out how to replicate this in Airtable. Help! Thanks

> As detailed on this page, the ARRAYJOIN function is supposed to let you choose a separator. However, no matter what I type for the separator, it remains as a comma without a space after it. The relevant part of my formula code: (ARRAYJOIN(Author, ", ") {Author} contains two items in the array: “Surname, Name” and “Surname2, Name2”. What I get after ARRAYJOIN: “Surname , Name,Surname 2, Name2”. Just in case, my full formula code: SUBSTITUTE(CONCATENATE(SUBSTITUTE(ARRAYJOIN(Author, “, “), '”’, ‘’), " (”, Year, "). ", Title, ". ", Publication, ", ", Volume, “(”, Issue, "), ", Pages, “.”), “()”, “”)

Is there a formula that chooses an item from a list /arrayand displays what number in the list it was? For example, I imported data from Zapier that says “No,No,Yes,No,No” Is there a function that tells me that Yes is the third option? Or something in Zapier? Thanks!

How can I call an external API from Airtable to CRUD Airtable field ? Is there any tutorial available?

I am having trouble, where when I update one of the variables that should change the results of an IF statement, the formula as a whole doesn’t seem to be “rerunning” and I get stuck with the last result. Example, I start with a {fabric release date/dates} of 05/16/2019 and I get a result from farther down this IF statement. I then change the release date to 05/16/2050 and the result remains the same. If I start fresh, it will recognize that the date is later than today and return “Fabric Not Released”, but it doesn’t seem to consistently refresh/rerun from the beginning of the formula. What can I do? Is the a “hard reload” type action? Do I need to simplify the IFs? IF({Retired?}=1,“Retired”, IF({Model Completed Date}=0,“Unmade”, IF(DATETIME_FORMAT({Fabric Release Date/Dates},‘MM/DD/YYYY’)>DATETIME_FORMAT(TODAY(),‘MM/DD/YYYY’),“Fabric Not Released”, IF(DATETIME_FORMAT({Pattern Planned Release Date},‘MM/DD/YY’)>DATETIME_FORMAT(TODAY(),‘MM/DD/YY
