Formulas

why does a 'day date' formula, based on a 'start time' return a day as the day before, when the start time is before 8am? Here is my formula column which is based on my start day/time fieldDATETIME_FORMAT(Start,"D-ddd") 

Hi all,I have formulated columns Apple, Orange, Banana, and the formula produces "Y" or "N" values. I want to create another column that will return the name of the column if their value is "Y". Is there any way to do this?I have tried nested IF formula, like IF(Apple="Y", "Apple", Orange="Y", "Orange"...), but the problem is they just return one value, but I want all the columns as long as their value is "Y".Thanks in advance!

I would like to limit the number of rows created in a table. I am planning to have a limited data entry period with 100 users where each user can only put in 10 rows of data. How would I achieve this with Airtable?

I'm setting up an interface that will serve as a dashboard to show my time overall client financial info. I used rollups so all the data would be in one table which will allow people viewing the dashboard to only use on filter to filter by client. The only problem I'm running in to is I would like to have the interface say "The client was last invoiced on RECENT DATE" I tried using a max() formula in a rollup column. The problem I'm having is that it's returning 2/29 as the most recent date when I have dates from this week, first week of March. How can I make sure it's actually showing the most recent date?

If there are options in a drop down menu (example Quiz or Test), start dates are entered by user, can I add a new column with a formula that detects the word 'quiz' or 'test' in the previous column and add an end date automatically based on the word? A quiz is 3 days after start date and a test is 6 days after start date for example. Appreciate any insight.

Hi !     Coleagues, I have a project in AirTable in a single table with 174 rows and 11 (eleven) categories that I can group these rows.     Each of these 174 tasks has its own "Start Date" and "End Date" column, with date format in it.     I want to know the earllier "Start Date" and the latest "end Date" inside each of these modules, when filtered by them.     (The objective is to show a timeline filtered by these "MODULES", using these fields with this formuila that identifies the earliest and the lates dates... I'm open to other approachs).   I achieve the first step with these two formulas. They returns the date in each of these fields for its row:1 - For the earliest "Start date" it is:MIN( VALUE(DATETIME_FORMAT({Start date}, 'MM/DD/YYYY')) )2 - For the latest "End date" it is:MAX( VALUE(DATETIME_FORMAT({End date}, 'MM/DD/YYYY')) )But !!...These formulas, based in the columns (fields) "start date" and "end

Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong with this formula? SWITCH( {HS-LA %},"15%", ({GBP Amount}-{HS-LA Commission}),"10%", ({GBP Amount}-{HS-LA Commission}-{HS-LA Commission}),)Or suggest another way to achieve it - I've tried a few IF options too but can't get that to work either. For context, I'm a literary agent and depending on the type of deal I do I either take 15% or 10% commission. Where I take 10% a co-agent will have also taken 10% but that's not necessary for me to track, other than that when I'm working out the author's overall income I need to make sure I know they didn't get it (hence trying to take away my commission twice in those instances here). The closest I got to it working (ie, it actually ran something instead of refusing to save because of an error), I got words back instead of numbers and what I need is numbers. 

I am using Air Table to capture costs per garment style and there are 12 versions of the costs that are available to use based on importing tariffs and shipping modes. These 12 costs are hard keyed into the base. I would like to be able to make the choice on a tariff rate and a ship mode and have the cost autopopulate into a new cell so I can link this elsewhere in my base. Is there a formula that could be used? 

I am trying to separate the values in the "ADKAR numerical value" column so that the first number (2) is inputted into the "Awareness value" column. Then so on where I input the next number after the comma into another column, etc.Any help is greatly appreciated! 🙂

Hello,My subject might not be entirely accurate. Bangin my head against a wall for a few days now.  I haven't been able to find the solution to my problem here, and I feel like there really must be one.  I'm trying to come up with a way to quickly calculate what individual contractors should be paid for events, and display as a grid or list or interface that is easy for the person entering "payment requests" to read. This is currently done by coping over the information into an excel spreadsheet to do the calculations and then reentered into a payment request spreadsheet...but I already have all the information here in airtableI have a table of "events", and table of "sessions" (an event might be made up of 1 or more sessions/ days) and a table of "contractors". I assign contractors to "sessions" through linked records. A contractor may work 1, 2, or all "sessions" of an "event". The sessions have a set number of hours assigned to each, and I've got a payment formul

Hi there! I’m trying to use the IF and DATEADD formulas to calculate a Project Start Date based on whether or not a Launch Date is entered for a record. If there is no Launch Date entered, the record field should be left blank. Here is the formula: IF({LAUNCH DATE} = BLANK(), “”, DATEADD({LAUNCH DATE}, -16,‘week’)) What I am getting is a date string (2021-10-18T00:00:00.000Z) instead of the Friendly Date format. Help please! :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi everyone, I'm really bad with the formula field!I'm trying to create a formula that prints "OK" if each user that I added has an active status; if some users have inactive status, print "not everyone," and if nobody has an active status, print "nobody." My problem is that the formula is based on info from another table, but I need it on that table.Those are my examples of base: I'm trying to add this formula field to the Report Table. Can someone help me? thank you!  

Hello,  I'm trying to create a formula that will return "Check Other Income" if the Contract * .25 > Other income and if Other Income Verified is checked it will return "Income Verified" This is how I have written the formula:IF({Other Income} > (Contract* .25), "Check Other Income", IF(AND({Other Income} > (Contract* .25),{Other Income Verified} = 1) , "Income Verified", "")) No errors returned, I can get it to say "Check Other Income", but the second half of the formula that has to do withe the checkbox is not returning "Income Verified.  Can anyone help me figure out why? Thank you!

I am trying to get Earliest or Latest date from a field (example: 2022-10-13, 2022-10-15). When I use Min or Max formulas - I get zeros. (I marked those areas as red)Looking forward for solutions.

I want to create an IF formula that converts a single select to a multiple select.For example, in column 1 I want the value 'Primary Care Physician' to turn into a multiple selection of 'Internal Medicine Physician' and 'Family Medicine Physician'. It seems like the default formula output is a single line text, but is there any way to convert it to a multiple select list so that the data is actually stored in a list format? 

Hello AT Community, I am trying to write a formula that returns the number of years and days in between two dates. So for example, assuming {DoB} is 18 FEB 1994, DATETIME_DIFF(TODAY(),DoB,'years'),"y ") returns 30 which is correct.I would also like to calculate the number of remaining days i.e. between the last full year (18 FEB 2024 and today). The answer should be 14 however this extract from my Airtable formula (MOD(DATETIME_DIFF(TODAY(),DoB,'days'),365),"d"))) is returning 21.Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong please?

Hi. I'm struggling with a formula to include a blank attachment field as part of 3 AND conditions. I'm testing this in my base before I put the AND part into a make.com airtable trigger module.At the moment, I have this:  IF( AND( {Ind Doc}!=BLANK(), DATETIME_DIFF( NOW(),{Record Created}, "days" ) >13, DATETIME_DIFF( NOW(),{Record Created}, "days" ) <30), "YES", "NO" ) This works, but ignores the first parameter and returns "YES" even for records that have an attachment in {Ind Doc}(Sorry if syntax for the multi-line formula is incorrect, I'm only just starting to learn to write formulas like this)! 🙂 

I have a Long Text column in my table with a lot of text, likely 20K plus pages. I used formulas to clean this text, removing undesirable characters, extra spaces, etc.  Is there any way to copy the contents of the Formula column back to the Long Text column, so that the Long Text column will ahve clean but editable data for future use? While I can copy and past some smaller data sets, when I tried to copy and paste this column, I get a 'too large' error.

I'm super new to airtable and I've been searching for the answer to this and I can't seem to find what I am looking for- likely because I don't know the right terminology but I have a table in my base and I want the primary field to auto populate each new record with a number and the year the record was created so that if there are multiple years I can filter them easily later.I figure it's some sort of formula because I know how to make the field auto number, but I can't figure out the formula to do it. Thanks in advance Amy 

I'm using my airtable to attached keywords images. I have one big keywords table with multiple categories of different keywords. Then i have multiple linked columns to the different categories. However some of the keywords overlap into different categories.So I thought I could rollup all my linked columns and do something like this:  ARRAYUNIQUE(ARRAYJOIN(ARRAYJOIN({RollUp1}) & IF({RollUp2}, ',' & ARRAYJOIN({RollUp2})) & IF({RollUp3}, ',' & ARRAYJOIN({RollUp3})))) However I still have duplicates of keywords in my final array. Does anyone know how I can join my rollups and then filter out all the duplicates? 

I have an automation set up that loads Google Calendar meeting info into my database, including attendee email addresses. What I want to do is extract the emails of only the people who are not internal employees. That is to say, extract all emails in the “Attendees” field that do not end in “@company.com”. External participants could have any number of email domains and I want to be able to extract any and all email addresses of Google meeting attendees who are not from our own company. I hope that was clear. Thank you!
