Hello All, I am new to Airtable & have searched but could not find a solution to my query. My table has the following fields (and a couple of more). 5 days before the due date, I send myself a reminder mail. And, this seems to be fine (preview tells me it is fine). The issue is the format of the due date. I want the format to be 22-Jul-2022 but the email shows 2022-07-22 I used the formula in the email, but it is treated as text in the email. I created another field (column) with my kind of format and the column shows the format, but when I reference this column in my email, the content is blank. Can you please help me? Best, Vikas

Hi,I am creating a formula for my fixed field for a sponsor base. Not all sponsors have business names; therefore I am looking for a formula that will be something along the lines of:IF({Business Name (from Contacts)}, {Business Name (from Contacts)}, "{Contacts}"). However, the " " shows up as the physical text rather than what is in the Contacts field.  What should I be doing instead? P

(i edited this to make more sense hopefully🤪)I want to create a new date and time, by stripping the time from a date, add a certain number of days, then add a duration field back as a new time to the date such as :1/3/24 11:00 am   to   1/3/24    add 126 days becomes   5/8/24  then add 15 hours to get the result of 5/8/24 3:00 pmhere is my formula:DATEADD(DATETIME_FORMAT(DATESTR(DATEADD(DATESTR({Initial Date}),{Days to Add},'d')),'MM-DD-YYYY'),{Duration},'s')  However when I use DATEADD to add the duration as a time, it assumes the starting time of 18:00 / 6pm  AND cuts the days short by 1 so when I add the d

Hello-I have a lookup cell that is pulling data from multiple cells. The results are showing a list of topics. The topics are repeated (as they're pulling from different cells). You can see, for example, that "Space" is being pulled multiple times. Is there a way to tell it to only list topics that haven't been listed, meaning only unique topics (not duplicates)?  Thanks in advance!!

I have a table that is creating a record for each client that completes a form. I have another table on the same base which is a synced google drive table with all client folders. Is there a formula/automation I can use to link the "open in google drive" button from the synced drive table to the client table? 

Hi! I thought a simple formula shown below would calculate price per square foot for my table. {Price} / {Building SqFt} Both Price and BuildingSqFt are columns in my table, so I am not sure why the formula gives me an ERROR response. What formula do I need instead? Thank you!

I am using a DATETIME_FORMAT formula to reformat a Date input field and make it pretty. For some reason no matter what time I put in to the Date input field the formula field spits out a time exactly four hours later. Anyone know why this is happening? 

Hi everyone,I am wondering if there is a workaround/solution without using make.com or scripting.I have data in one column for example. The column is a linked field.Items | Qty_to_BuyA|5A|1B|1B|1B|6C|10 I want to create a table with the following output.A | 6B|8C|10It is basically grouping by item but I want the output to show up as separate records. If possible I would like for it to be in the same base but a sync to other table also works. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

Hi.I have two Date files with Time Called Start and Ende.g.:Start=08.05.2024 09:54End= 08.05.2024 12:00in another filed I'd like to calculate this into hours rounded to full 15 minutes using:IF( AND({End}, {Start}),ROUND(DATETIME_DIFF({End}, {Start}, 'm') / 15) / 4) the result of this is 2 which is correct as I used "ROUND"But I'd actually like to ROUNDUP, so the result should be 2.25But when I change ROUND to ROUNDUP in the above formula, I just get #ERROR back Further down the road I'l

I want to create a formula fields equal to now() with specific hours and minutes. My formula must return a date equals to today at 18:00. Exemple today is 05/06/2024 16:12 -> 05/06/2024 18:00Thanks

Hi, is there an option to stop the Formula Helper dialogue box appearing when I click in the Formula edit box?The thing obstructs visibility of the formula when I'm trying to edit.   I'm having to click out of the formula edit field to close the dialogue in order to see all parts of the formula. 

I want to have a select field with a couple of options for clients that need a subscription. Like: "1 month subscription", "2 month subscription", ... . This would ideally convert the answer into a 31 day duration field that can then be used in a date dependency to calculate the end date for the subscription. Is this possible?I already figured out that i can convert it to duration using a formula field but then i can't use it in a date dependency...

Hi, we track which topics will be posted to social media mainly in calendar view in Airtable. Ex. Have "receipe" show up every Wednesday on the calendar instead of having to input the date manually. Any suggestion on how to accomplish that? 

I’m comparing two currency values in a table, and attempting to flag if there is a mismatch. The way I’d do this in gSheets is pretty obvious: =IF(field1 = field2, TRUE, FALSE) - then conditionally format on TRUE or FALSE to get a visual indicator. I actually like that there is no range-based conditional formatting in airtable, since these are meant to be DBs - but I still think a coherent display of true/false values (As a checkbox!) is reasonable and I shockingly don’t see a way to do that here. Yes, I could do something idiotic like represent it with an emoji, but that’s a nasty hack if I want to query for items in my table whose cost-match is FALSE. Thanks!

Hi I have a file name / string of texte.g. 'ThisIsTheFileName'I would like to insert a space before each capital letter. Is there a formula to do this?Thanks 

Hi there— Grateful for your help in figuring this out.I have a single select dropdown field in one cell. If a user selects an option in that dropdown field, I'd like the cell next to it to replace the text based on whatever is selected. So in the screenshot, if someone selects "Brown" in the dropdown, I'd like the cell to the right to show just the text "Color Theme D". Is there some kind of IF statement or formula I can use in that new cell? Thanks!!

Hi, this is a Voiceflow specific question, but I was hoping someone might have some ideas.I'm making an API call from Voiceflow using a multiple filterbyFormula to exclude words. This is what it looks like:https://api.airtable.com/v0/appname/tablename?fields%5B%5D=Title&fields%5B%5D=Link&filterByFormula=AND(FIND(%22Long%22,%20%7BHair%20(Style,Color)%7D)%20%3E%200,%20FIND(%22Very%22,%20%7BHair%20(Style,Color)%7D)%20%3D%200 )The above works without issue. The problem is that my filterbyFormula changes often and needs to be contained within a variable so my actual call from Voiceflow looks like this:https://api.airtable.com/v0/appname/tablename?fields%5B%5D=Title&fields%5B%5D=Link&filterByFormula=AND({filter1 })This is working fine when I'm looking for a Match, i.e when {filter1} = FIND("Long", {Hair (Style,Color)})>0But if try for No match, i.e. when {filter1} = FIND("Very", {H

Hi! I am using airtable to keep track of several types of info connected to individual clients. However, sometimes I need partners/spouses' names to be in the same column. Is there a way to write a formula that only runs when certain conditions are met?For example, as seen in the picture below, my current formula for IN PROGRESS: Client and Spouse column is {First Name (from Spouse/Partner)} & ' and ' & ({Full Name}) I would like that formula to run IF there is a spouse, and I would like the IN PROGRESS: Client and Spouse column to only populate info from the Full Name column if there is no spouse/partner.I tried writing IF statements, but I couldn't figure out.Thank you!

Hi everyone! I have an Airtable base for a virtual event my team is planning for Learning at Work Week. The base includes the following:An "Activities" table with all of the activities that learners can complete, each worth a certain point value. The people who have the most points at the end of the week win a prize! A form (linked here) where learners input their email address (their identifier) and can multi-select (via a lookup from the Activities table) the different activities they did during the week. The form can be submitted throughout the week as various activities are completed, or at the end of the week once all activities are done - it's the users' choice! A "Form Responses" table to store all form responses.A "Participants" table that is automated to create a record that links the users' e

Hi! I'm having trouble with a formula where it brings back text and adds " " when it is done. Here is the layout:Column 1: Formula cell with the following formula {Client} & ' - ' & {Total Volume}Column 2: Linked to another table, displays {Client} names (Example: John)Column 3: {Total Volume} quantity (Example: 10)What I want to get from this formula is = John - 10What I'm getting from this formula is = “John“ - 10Is this because I am linking to another table? It does not happen with every value from the {Client} column! 

Hi friends! I am hoping this is easy, but I'm noob enough to not even know how to search up an answer in support/forums.My specific use is retreat registration. I have one table for Retreat Participants and a second for the possible Retreat Rooms.The "Retreat Rooms" table has a field for the rate for Solo Occupancy, and a field for the rate for Shared Occupancy.In my "Retreat Participants" table, I have a checkbox to indicate "solo occupancy". I would like there to be a field in the Participants table that then returns the correct room rate based on whether or not this checkbox is ticked.Let me know if you need further information or explanation, and if you have any tips! I don't know if this is an "If/Then" or "Switch" or what 😵‍💫 Thank you!
