Formulas

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", {Hair (Style,Color)})=0, I get the INVALID_FILTER_BY_FORMULA error. So the problem se

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' email address to their form response(s) as they're submitted.Within the "Participants" table, I have a lookup field that lists all of the activities that that user logg

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!

 Hello airtable community, I have this following formula but dateadd does not display the operation in the result thank you for your feedbackFranck IF({Date début package} != '', {Date début package},IF({Date début expl 23} != '', {Date début expl 23},DATEADD({Date début package},{Nombre jours d'Activité},'days'))) 

I have an attachment field containing images. I see that the stored attachment object has a url property. In another formula field I would like to show just the attachement url. Any ideas? Thanks.

I know I am late to the game here. I have been ignoring the updates until now. I currently have uploads and the links for the uploads through a formula - which allows me to create a download button.I use these so in the public share link to my base - users can quickly select the download button instead of opening the record and downloading the actual file. The airtable documentation says the url will stop working when in formulas. This sounds like my use case scenario. Does anyone know if this will this continue to work going forward?Obviously I thought this was meant to stop working in November, so either they haven't got to my base yet or I am in the clear (because it still works)...If this function will stop working - is there an alternative way to achieve what I am doing when the change happens?

I have a user groups as individual records. Each month, my team adds a field with the number of members in each group. This means I don't have a specific field i can put the 'latest' number in for more public views to the wider company. I am trying to create a formula field which says "If this field is blank, try this one, if that field is black, try this one" until a field with values is found... What I have tried, but got no success with (I am not a natural with code/formulas). Can someone help? 😄  IF(NOT(BLANK({2026-01 Members}, {2025-12 Members}, {2025-11 Members}, {2025-10 Members}, {2025-09 Members}, {2025-08 Members}, {2025-07 Members}, {2025-06 Members}, {2025-05 Members}, {2025-04 Members}, {2025-03 Members}, {2025-02 Members}, {2025-01 Members}, {2024-12 Members}, {2024-11 Members}, {2024-10 Members}, {2024-09 Members}, {2024-08 Members}, {2024-07 Members}, {2024-06 Members}, {2024-05 Members}, {2024-04 Members}, {2024-03 Members}, {2024-02 Members

I have a score card with a computed percentage grade (e.g., 84) that I want to turn into an easy letter grade for my stakeholders.Rather than using a huge nested IF formula I thought I'd try to use SWITCH to compare and create some values.SWITCH( {% GRADE}, >=93, 'A', <=64, 'F')But I keep getting a generic Sorry, there was a problem creating this field. Invalid formula. Please check your formula text. error message.I can't find anything in the help documents talking about using comparison operators like =, >=, <= with SWITCH.Is what I'm trying to do even possible or am I stuck with that massive nested IF statement?Thanks in advance,Anne 

I’m working on a project management system in Airtable, and I need to set up a counter system to assign unique numbers to tasks within a vertical hierarchy. The goal is to create a structured numbering system that reflects the task relationships and levels. Here are the details:Project Structure:I have a hierarchical structure with parent tasks ("Predecessors" field) and the associated subtasks ("Next task" field).Each task can have multiple subtasks, forming a vertical hierarchy.Requirements:Assign a unique number to each task.Ensure that the numbering system reflects the hierarchy (parent-child relationships).Use a formula or automation to generate these numbers automatically.Below is what I have tried:I have tried to create 3 different fields as below:1. tesst2:Formula: IF(COUNTA(Predecessors) = 0, "1", "")Explanation: This formula assigns “1” to tasks that have no predecessors (i.e., top-level tasks).2. lookup test:Formula: A lookup of the above field for the linked “Predecessors”

Hello,I need help with figuring out how to lookup the right price of an item for a particular customer from a table.I have an order line item table that contains "Customer Name" and "Item Name". Using this information together I want to look up the price from the price level table.This is the image of the order line item table. I have a customers table where I store all information about my customers. I have an inventory table that contains all the items. The price level table contains all the pricing information. Each item can have different prices for different customers, hence the separate price level table.

I'm struggling to figure out a good way to determine if a projects start and end date span any part of a specific year where start and end dates could span multiple years.So for example, I have records with the following columns for projects:Project A  3/1/23 [Start Date] | 2/2/24[End Date]Project B  10/1/22 [Start Date] | 5/1/23 [End Date]Project C  7/1/22 [Start Date] | 3/1/24 [End Date]Project D  1/1/24 [Start Date] | 2/1/24 [End Date]I'm trying to determine which projects were in any part of 2023. In the example above, it would be Projects A, B and C.Ideally I can create a formula that just outputs "2023" for any in the 2023 range.

I have a base with records that consist of the URLs of several images inside my site's midia folder. They look something like:https://mysite.com/news/april/banner1.pnghttps://mysite.com/news/may/banner2.pnghttps://mysite.com/news/april/etc/week2/file.htmlhttps://mysite.com/tutorials/folder/name.pdfEtc, fake examples. I would like to extract just the names of the files inside each folder, like:banner1.pngbanner2.pngfile.htmlname.pdfI figured it might be possible if I could FIND the last '/' on each string and extract whatever comes after it, but I'm not managing. Anyone knows if that's possible?

Dear community of people so much smarter than me!I am using Airtable to build a film budget that has a number of fields and formulas that are causing me headaches. Table 1) Budget top sheet (two rollup fields: budget & actuals)Table 2) Budget (above the line and below the line)Table 3) ActualsTable 4) Cashflow forecastCHALLENGES: 1) On the budget - certain line items are subject to fringe (payroll fees, withholdings on a state-by-state basis, admin fees, etc.) and need to be calculated on a per line item basis. This is not consistent across the budget. How to solve for this? 2) From the above - - for things subject to fringes - we need to have a number calculated and roll up to the first table outlined above (the budget top sheet). How best to do this?3) We also need to calculate contingency - which is only calculated on Below the Line costs... how best to delineate this - calculate this - and have the number roll up accurately to the budget top sheet? If you ha

Hi - I am trying to update a forecast in case the field hasn't been updated for over a month. The idea is that if there are no updates, the forecast would lower by 10%. It all looks great, until I have to "Update record", I pull the record ID (dynamic) and added the field "Forecasted" and also make it dynamic. I add the field "Forecasted" and multiply it by 0.9. However, this creates an error. Here are the different versions and the results: "Forecasted"*0.9 --> Error"Forecasted"(0.90) --> Error"Forecasted".9 --> If the original value was $15,000 it shows $150,001 (maybe it thinks I want to move the decimal place?)"Forecasted""Multiply by" --> I created the field "Multiply by" to all equal 0.9 in the data, but whenever I place both of them together, no changes"Forecasted"*"Multiply by" --> Error"Forecasted"10% --> ErrorThis should be simple, the formula is pretty easy, but for some reason I can't get it to work. Can someone please help me? Thanks!

Hello,I'm trying to create a mapping using IF and OR statement, in order to map a set of values for the 'Status' field to this new formula field.  This formula doesn't cause an errors, but it only partially works.  Does anyone know why this doesn't work?IF({Status} = "Complete",  "Completed",  IF(    OR(      {Status} = "Low Risk",      {Status} = "Candidate"    ),    "On track",    IF(      OR(        {Status} = "Medium Risk",        {Status} = "High Risk",      ),      "At risk",      IF(        OR(          {Status} = "New",          {Status} = "Needs Investigation",          {Status} = "Need More Info",          {Status} = "Under Review",          {Stat
