We are implementing time tracking fields in multiple bases and need to calculate the total amount of time between two date fields (in days, hours & minutes) but also excluding weekends and possibly holidays. I've tried the following but the calculations are returning errors. WORKDAY_DIFF( {To In Studio},{To Color Correction},    'days') & " days " &MOD(WORKDAY_DIFF({To In Studio},{To Color Correction},        'hours'),    24) & " hours " &MOD(WORKDAY_DIFF(         {To In Studio},{To Color Correction},        'minutes'    ),    60) & " minutes" We have the following implemented and working, but weekends are not excluded

Hi all,Struggling with this one and I'm not sure if it's even possible.I have a table that works out total cost of a product, total cost of a product inc fees on Etsy total cost of a product inc fees on shopify.Etsy fees are always higher than shopify, so it makes things slightly easier.I currently set the retail price manually and then it shows fees, profit margin for shopify and etsy separately.What I'd like to be able to do is suggest a retail price for etsy, based on matching the profit margin of shopify. The fees of Etsy are higher so I can't just add the profit margin difference to the retail.I do have individual columns for each fee type if that helps?Here are my columns I currently have - Total CostRetailEtsy Transaction FeeEtsy Processing FeeEtsy Operating FeeTotal Etsy FeesTotal Cost with Etsy FeesEtsy Profit (£)Etsy Profit Margin (%)Shopify FeeTotal Cost with Shopify FeesShopify Profit (£)Shopify Profit Margin (%)I'm assuming I'd need to do something like work out the %

For example:Shift A = Max. 5 participantsShift B = Max. 2 participantsNow I would like only the free shifts to be displayed in the form.

I am using a formula cell to check a date/time cell to confirm if the time in EST has occurred or not yet.The Date/Time cell contains something like 5/12/2024 2:30pm ESTMy Formula cell uses the formula:IF(AND({Start Date},DATEADD({Start Date}, -5, 'hours') <= DATEADD(NOW(), -5, 'hours')),"true",BLANK())What I'd like to happen is for the Formula cell to return "true" when the Date/Time cell reads a time that is equal to or before the current Easter Standard Time.  Note: I don't want it to use my current time zone because that can change based on where I am.However, the problem I'm having is that it seems to be using my current time zone (which is CST).

Hi everyone!Following problem: I have a table where each record is represents a deployment of a worker, sick leave, a project or Vacation. We differentiate between them with a single select field. Each record has a start and an end date + is linked to a Worker and/or a Project. Now currently the Name field is just a Code identifying the Type + an autonumber. However if one particular worker is linked, I would like the Name field to Dispay "Linked Project". The reason is that this particular worker needs to sync his records to an external calender application. But its quite useless if that only displays things like "deployment-322" or "Project-102". Now technically this would be very simple, the formula works fine as long as its not the name field.  IF({worker} = "John", {project}, SWITCH({Typ}, "Projekt", 'PROJ_' & {nr}, "deployment", 'DEPL_' & {nr}, ))  However once I try to use this formula as title field, airtable complains a

Hi, does anyone have any tips on how to create a formula that  would calculate the number of days something was in each stage? We track various stage gates for our content: Draft, Proposal, Ready for Production etc. Thanks! 

Hey there. I’d like to alphabetize one set of records in a table but would like to write a formula that would exclude the word “the” at the beginning when alphabetizing. (I rather not just format as Title, The.) Any possible way to do this, or no, because this is essentially a sorting issue, not a formula/record-naming issue?

Hello all,New to Airtable and I'm trying to build a product costing and BOM system.I have worked out from searching for posts on this forum that I can split a Lookup cell based on text using the following IF( FIND(",", {Product Costings}), LEFT({Product Costings}, FIND(",", {Product Costings})-1 ), {Product Costings} ) But when I try to use this same formula to split the cost cells it doesn't seem to work.I basically have a 'Total Cost' column which is currently filled with £0.70, £1.00 and £0.11I want to split these into separate cells as I want to specify quantity for each value. For some reason the above script will not work for numericals, and it just lists the full 0.70, 1.00, 0.11Is there something I need to change to make this work? Or are there any other alternatives?What I want is -Kit Row - Combined Individual products that make up the kit - Number of each individual product needed to create the kit - Price of each individual item - Total price of each ind

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 duration it adds it to the 18:00 / 6:00 pm for some reason not from 0:00 /12:00 am and is the day prior so 5/7/24 not 5/8/24 If I just use this it gets me the right date with no time: DATESTR(DATEADD(DATESTR({Initial  Date}),{Days to Add},'d'))  FYI the initial date field is formatted for the right

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 like to convert the this into "working days" of 8 hours each So let's say I have two entries with 2 hours and 8 hours, that would sum up into 1,25 "working days" reason for this: I'm building a tracker of PS engagements. Customer purchases a fixed amount of days and engineers enter information about what work has been done. There can be multiple Tracker entries for a PS Project and I need to sum this up into "Working days" of 8 hours each any help here is highly appreciated&nbs

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?
