Formulas

I have a simple task tracker with a single table containing a list of tasks.  I have a self-linking field to allow for a single level of subtasks.  I primarily use Interface lists to view tasks.  However, I also assign tasks to be completed by varying people.  So when I filter to a list of my assigned tasks, the nesting feature breaks.  Airtable will only show me tasks if they are assigned to me.  So if I am assigned to the parent task, I don't see the child tasks.  And vice versa.I thought it could be helpful to append an icon to the front of subtask names to cue me that something else is depending on me completing that task (haha) but can't figure out how to write a formula for that!In the data views, the parent task has the child tasks linked in the subtasks field.  So the child tasks have empty subtask fields.  Therefore, I have nothing to search for.Anyone have thoughts or worked through something similar? 

Hi All! I am hoping this is an easy problem to solve 🙂I thought this would be really simple, but I'm struggling.I have a project "Start Date" field. Every time one of my users updates that "Start Date" I would like AT to automatically retain the last start date before that change in a "Last Start Date" field.So if "Start Date" was 01/05/2024 and someone changed it to 12/05/2024, then "Start Date" would read 12/05/2024 and "Last Start Date" would read 01/05/2024. Each field would then update every time the "Start Date" field is consequently updated, which can happen numerous times.Any help / advice would be very much appreciated. I am hoping that this can be done with AT as opposed to using any external connector.......

I have a grid view with a field that shows volunteers that have volunteered along with the date they volunteeredI want to figure out how many volunteers volunteered each month - how do I find how many unique volunteer names appear in this list, and if I filter for the specific month, will it still work?Thank you!

Hiya all! So, I am trying to create a formula that uses each of the checkboxes in my table as a way to track payments that have come in. I need each checkbox to equal/represent to the amount listed in the {Payment Amounts} column and for the number of payments that have come in (ie - the number of checkboxes checked) to be represented by a progress bar where the final tuition amount is listed in the table too as {Tuition}.  I have the below pasted formula so far, but its obviously not working: IF( COUNTA({1st}, {2nd}, {3rd}, {4th}, {5th}, {6th}, {7th},

Hiya all!  So, I am trying to create a formula that uses each of the checkboxes in my table as a way to track payments that have come in.  I need each checkbox to equal/represent to the amount listed in the {Payment Amounts} column and for the number of payments that have come in (ie - the number of checkboxes checked) to be represented by a progress bar where the final tuition amount is listed in the table too as {Tuition}.  I have the below pasted formula so far, but its obviously not working: VALUE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE({Tuition (from KCIT Tracker)}, "$", ""), ",", ""))

Hello,I've been using a very hacky method of generating a Markdown table using a formula in my base. The below example uses Markdown in quotes for the table structure, and then pulls from field data to populate the table.Example: " # DIVINATION " & "\n" & " | Divination | Result | Description | " & "\n" & " |-|-|-| " & "\n" & " | " & " Soothsayer's Deck " & " | " & {Soothsayer's Deck} & " | " & {Soothsayer's Deck Description} & " | " & "\n" & " | " & " Constellation " & " | " & {Constellation} & " | " & {Constellation Description} & " | " & "\n" & " | " & " Position " & " | " & {Position} & " | " & {Position Description} & " | " & "\n" & " | " & " Moon Phase " & " | " & {Moon Phase} & " | " I then use an automation to populate a "Calculation Output" field using an example from

I'm trying to calculate cost/price in my shop by hourly rate. I have the Time Tracker linked with my Duration Field, but something is off in the calculation. IE one duration is 0:43 (0 full hours;43 minutes) but the calculation cost is showing $3,870. It should be $64.4999 with the formula (Duration/60)*90. How do I get it to calculate the correct amount wether the billable hours are 1h:43m or 0h:43m? Thank you in advance

I have two rollup field I need to evaluate and for some reason I can't get it to work.Field1: {rollupStockMinimum}Field2: {rollupNonStockMinimum}Field1 is empty, but Field2 is not.I only want the formular to do something when there are something in both fields.I've tried with this very simple formular  IF(AND(Field1, Field2), True, False)   However for some reason it evaluates to 'True' despite Field1 being emptyI've tried to just do IF(Field1, "True", "False") where it evaluates to False.What is it I'm missing or don't understand?

I'm trying to have the formula with a dateadd calculation be blank of a certain field is blank. However if I put the  DateFormat function around the whole If formula it will either result in an error if the input is Blank or if any option could be blank it will not allow the Formula Formatting as a Date field either way. How can AT recognize a formula field as a date field if the date could be blank based on a conditional formula or related blank field???  DATETIME_FORMAT(IF({Weekday Planner}=BLANK(),BLANK(),DATEADD(TODAY(),(({Auto Date 2}-(WEEKDAY(TODAY())))*24)+15,

Good morning,I don't understand why the function is refused, even though the content is basic. Do you have an idea?Thanks

Okay guys, got a doozie... Basically, in the screenshot I have a table, which is the main table that 99% of things sprout off from. We have customers, who through a webflow form are able to select accessories to add on to their purchase. That gets relayed to the table in the form of a checkbox being selected/unselected. Here's the problem -- I need to calculate accessories inventory, for each individual column AND be able to automatically update the rolling amount in another table, which uses the accessory name as the primary record. I've tried EVERYTHING I can think of from linked records, to roll up fields, to automations, and formulas. If anyone can calculate how this can be done I'll literally send you a $100.

I want to combine cells into one address block, but if there are no addresses I want the cell to remain blank. I'm having trouble creating this. Right now I'm getting a random common in the box: This is the formula I'm using: CONCATENATE({Address 1} & "\n" & IF({Address 2}, {Address 2} & "\n") & {Address 3},", ",{State / County}," ",{Zip / Postal Code})

Hi there,For the same task, how can you define a Daily Time Required of 100% on certain days or periods, and a lower percentage on others?Thank you!

I generate records through the week that all pertain to an event on Saturday. For organising these records into a week-by-week historical view (and for ease of human use on Saturday), I want to be able to automatically tag all of these records for the Saturday they pertain to. I have searched and tried a few things - this is the formula I got closest with:IF(WEEKDAY(Created)=6,DATEADD(Created,0,"days"), DATEADD(Created,6+WEEKDAY({Created}),"days")) Where "Created" is the date the record is generated. However, this generates a record for the previous Saturday. I don't really understand the formula I've cobbled together from old threads well enough to understand why. Does anyone have any advice to get it to fill that date as the following saturday from the "dat

I have a formula setup to show a status based on an 'Expiry Date'.This works from a date column {Expiry Date} with a column that works out the difference in days called {Diff}, this uses the formula: DATETIME_DIFF({Expiry Date}, NOW(), "days") Then is the status column I am using: IF(Diff <= 0, "❌", IF(AND(Diff > 0, Diff <= 28), "⚠️")) This works perfectly, my question is how do I add an additional "✅" status for

Hi, Rookie question; I have 3 columns “Full Name” (which has the formula to join the next two columns) “Last name” and “First Name”, putting a comma in between. The formula I’m using is: CONCATENATE({Last name}&", "&{First name}) The issue is when Last name and First name are blank (empty records), the formula runs indefinitely in the Full Name column creating rows and only putting in the comma (see pic). How do I stop this?

Hi Airtable Community, When applying the TRIM function to fields that are lookup fields from another table I receive an error. However when testing other formula’s E.g. Concatenate that does work this particular situation using Linked/lookup fields from another table. I would assume that the all functions gather data in the back-end in the same way. Can one confirm this is actually not possible to use TRIM in combination with Lookup Field type? Thank you
