Formulas

Hello Everyone,  Basically I have got a table with documents sign date and expiry date, and created a formula when it shows that the document is "Active" or "Expired" if the date is in the past. The question is how to create an automation so whenever formula changes to expired it will send an email telling a person that the document is now expired.  Hope that makes sense.  Thanks

Hi,I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but here goes. I have a table containing the following 'data'Project, Person, Start, FinishI want to plot on a Vega-Lite Heatmap style Histogram the 'heat' of these people over time. So the more 'Projects' then the higher the 'heat'. I could see that Joe is cold in Jan, but hot in July.This is the style of heat map: https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/examples/rect_binned_heatmap.htmlI guess I need to transform the 'hits' per say, month. But I have no idea how to do that!Thanks in advance.

I'm having trouble with using the DATEADD function (and yes totally new at this). I'm trying to add 3 months to a date in another column. I've technically gotten the formula to work but it's not quite getting the desired date. So for example if my date is 4/1/2024 and the formula is adding 3 months it's calculating 6/30/2024. I need it to actually calculate 7/1/2024. I've tried to add a day to the formula but keep getting an error. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone , I am slightly struggling to find the best formula for expiry data. Basically, I have signing date and expiry date and I need to create a formula that will indicate that if the paper is now after expiry date it will change to 'expired' and if it is within time frame then it is "active" And maybe it will be possible somehow to connect it to "Status" in single select feature? Thanks in advance !!

Saw a new ARRAYSLICE function pop up in auto-complete today that isn't in the documentation. Anyone know where it came from? I suppose it allows for a less hack-y way to access individual items in a rollup, but I'm not sure what it provides in isolation, since you would need to know the index of the item you're looking for, unless you're looking for the last item in a rollup.

I need a formula that calculates the number of days we have owned a house.Possession date to sold date and in the case there is no sold date I want it to calculate using today. TIA

Hello!I'm trying to create a formula that will create First Name (Goes By Name) Last Name (Business Name).  I've gotten my formula so that I can get all those pieces together, however if either Goes By or Business Name exists and the other doesn't, I'm getting () included still. For exampleKatelyn () Grant (Airtable) or Katelyn (Kate) Grant () How do I get it to not include the () if the field is empty?Here's the formula: IF(OR({Goes By Name}, {Business Name}),{First Name} & " " & "(" & {Goes By Name} & ")" & " " & {Last Name} & " " & "(" & {Business Name} & ")",{First Name} & " " & {Last Name}) 

Hi everyone, first of all I'm really sorry for the noob question, I'm an English teacher who is not good at math and I cannot figure this out after days of trying.I have an excel document where tasks are given scores based on prioritization questions.Most of the questions follow a simple "If answer = YES add a numerical value of 3 to the overall score" format.But I have a few segments that use COUNTIF logic.In one of the sections where there are 5 prioritization questions the COUNTIF logic looks like this(COUNTIF(I7:M7,"Yes")>3,12,IF(COUNTIF(I7:M7,"Yes")>2,9,IF(COUNTIF(I7:M7,"Yes")>1,6,3))So the yellow section of questions follows:If 1 question in the yellow segment is answered "yes"  - add 3 points to the overall scoreIf 2 questions in the yellow segmentare answered "yes" - add 6 points to the overall scoreIf 3 questions in the yellow segment are answered "yes" - add 9 points to the overall scoreIf 4 or 5 questions in the yellow segment are answered "yes" -&nbs

I want to automate an email that goes to staff two weeks before their leave year renews on the anniversary of their start date each year.Is it possible to create a formula which will automatically show the next anniversary in a date format? For example: If my start date is 28/02/2019 and today is 07/02/2024 then the next anniversary date should read 28/02/2024Or if my start date is 28/02/2019 and today is 01/03/2024 then the next anniversary date would read 28/02/2025I'm UK based so using DD-MM-YYYY formatting. I'm struggling to generate anything that works - any help appreciated.

I am trying to have the person who submitted the form on the left followed by a dash - and then another field but cannot seem to fix this. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi everyone. I have a table "receipts" that collects receipts linked to different projects. Every receipt can only be linked to one project. The Receipts table has a Number Field "Amount in Euro". Now I the Project table, I want to have a Rollup field with the sum of all Amount field. But only those who are linked with the Project im currently in. What I want to do is add the condition "Where Project is exactly current project". So for Project 1 it filters by that, for Project 2 by that one. But I can only choose one particular project. Am I missing something or is there another way to do this? Basically what im trying to do is see the Sum of all incoming and outgoing receipts for every project right within the Project. Any helps would be greatly appreciated 🙂 

It appears the URL for a sidesheet within an Airtable Interface does not contain the Record ID. Hoping to create a formula link to records displayed in a sidesheet, however cannot figure out how to do this with the structure of the sidesheet URL.The structure is either:https://airtable.com/appXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/pagXXXXXXXXXXXXXX?xxxxx=sfsXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&detail=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXor:https://airtable.com/appXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/pagXXXXXXXXXXXXXX?detail=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXThe 106 characters after "detail=" is consistent across the various interfaces accessing the same sidesheet, so assume that is the unique identifier I need to generate via an Airtable formula, however have not been able to find a way to do this (similar to using RECORD_ID() in a formula).Can anyone please offer advice?Thanks,Tanya

Hey everyone! How do I create the statement to leave cell blank if a value is missing instead of #ERROR? I’ve read you should not use the BLANK() code? Code for Days Left: WORKDAY_DIFF(TODAY(),Starts) Code for Urgency: IF( {Days Left} < 0, "🔥OVERDUE", IF( {Days Left} <= 20, "🔴 ASAP", IF({Days Left} < 40, "🟡 Medium", IF({Days Left} < 100, "🟢 Low" ) ) ) ) Thank you in advance!

Good morning all! I'm hoping someone can help me with turning a pretty straightforward concat formula into something with more if/then logic to help when empty fields are encountered.Right now I have a primary field on my sheet that uses a formula to build a unique ID for logged payments. That formula is below:  CONCATENATE({Vendor Name}, " - ", IF( {Remit to AP}, DATETIME_FORMAT({Remit to AP}, 'MM-DD-YYYY')) )  The trouble is that with a lot of records there may not be a "Remit to AP" date for a number of reasons. I'm hoping there's a way I can use alternative fields as backups so the primary field doesn't just show something along the lines of "Vendor - " which isn't helpful.There's another field called "Invoice Date" that is much more frequently populated, and a "Year" field (which is a single select, not open text) as the last resort. Would it be possible to have a formula that builds the concat as above and says if the "Remit to AP" field isn't blank to use

What's up guys,I'm struggling to implement Vega-Lite chart extension on my base, it's my first time using it. I'll show you an example of the base I'm working on in which I'll need to create a bar chart. It seems that I can't add multiple fields on the x axis.If anyone can help it'd be greatly appreciated.

Hi, So I’m using PHP which has this functionality built in (basically I give it a number and it converts it to how I would like it…) specifically I’m in Australia but the format I’ve chosen to go with is like this: +61415932797 so let’s break this down +61 = country code 415932797 < number obviuosly In Australia though when you call someone on mobile you dial 04… so it would be like 0415932797 if that makes sense (since you don’t use country codes when dialling within the country)… so I’ve got a bunch of these mobiles like this in my AirTable: 0402 930 888 - like this which I want to convert to +61402930888 - as you can see no spaces (random spacing in my original) - ideally also skip any fields that have text in them but that’s an easy thing… so… yeh long story short how do I regex 04 01 933 833 to +61401933833 also keep in mind a number could all ready be country code… but then again I could just filter those with + and fix manually or something but would be good if for example +6

Hi. I’m looking for a way to calculate an average time of day for an average start time and average end time. Airtable has the date and time field, and the time duration field, butI need the average start time and end time, as separate values.I need to accommodate for a start time being before midnight or after midnight.This is to get an average time a person fell asleep (potentially before 11:59 pm or after 12:00 am) and their average wake up time. Based on my pretty thorough knowledge of Airtable, I can’t figure out a way to do this because Airtable’s fields don’t offer you a time of day without a specific date.A more traditional business purpose of this calculation would be calculating a person’s average clock in time and clock out time, as separate values, but still accommodating for before or after midnight, which could be applicable for a business with night/3rd shift workers.It's my understanding that there is no technical workaround and that this simply a limitation of the type

i have a sync to jira.. i want to assign an airtable user based on the jira user fieldFor example: if  CM2 field contains John Smith, Mary Jones or Kate Day.. Can i create a formula that assigns John Smith, Mary Jones or Kate Day as an airtable user vs just a text box.. so that they get a notification that work has been assigned.  or does this need to be an automation with a user table?Thank you

I am building out a process to make billing time and invoicing easier.  Unfortunately the formula I'm using either results in $1 or a total that's completely incorrect. How in the world is it calculating $216? Should be 7 * $33.33=$233.31  

Sorry, there was a problem saving this field. Invalid formula. Please check your formula text.DATETIME_DIFF({Sell}, {Buy Date} 'days')Well, there may be a problem, but I can't see it... can anyone help with the formula to display the number of days between two dates 🤔 🤔? Thank you.Here's what I'm getting for these 3 fields:Buy Date, Sell, #Days1/12/2020, (No End Date), NaN7/10/2023, 1/31/2024, 177120001/1/2020, (No End Date), NaN9/19/2023, 1/31/2024, 11577600

I would like to extract the months from dates in a multiselect field. If I use Month(Months) I get NaN, If I use DATETIME_FORMAT(Months, 'MMMM') I get #ERROR!.  Anyone know how to do this?  Thanks, Scott

Hi - desperately need help in figuring out what in the world is not working. I am creating a production timeline where the campaign launch is the starting point. From there, I want to count and report certain milestone dates bases on a typical timeline. These milestones are working days (M-F) so not a normal "count backwards". I have to do this for multiple types of campaigns, so instead of making stagnant formulas I'm referencing dates on another table. yes, I looked in to automations and record templates, but they don't allow for relative dates so this is the workaround. Example) Campaign 1Milestone 1: Day -13Milestone 2: Day -10Milestone 3: Day -7Milestone 4: Day -2Milestone 5: Day -1Campaign Launch: Day 0Example) Campaign 2Milestone 1: Day -17Milestone 2: Day -15Milestone 3: Day -12Milestone 4: Day -5Milestone 5: Day -3Campaign Launch: Day 0I've been trying to use the formula workdays to accomplish this while referencing the milestone dates, but every time I use it the fo

Hi there,we try to find solutions for this use-case:We want to create "logic" URL's for our data-sets, what we can do at the moment is creating a formula "www.airtable.com/base-id/table-id/" & recordID().What we would like to define is the part recordID(), because all of our fields have a type-number (for example AA550). So it should be a formula "www.airtable.com/base-id/table-id/" & type-number with the result:www.airtable.com/base-id/table-id/AA550The reason for that is, that in the past often dataset were be deleted by someone or we have to transfer the database. We're using this URL's in an other database and if the recordID is changing, we have to check that again (yes I know ugly).It could be a filter too, if that's possible to save in an url.

I'm using airtable to manage all my seasonal employee hiring. I have one column where from a multiple selection I choose their job title (eg. Camp Ops, Kitchen, or Waterfront). I want another column that show what certification are required based on the job title I selected. I believe this should be a IF or SWITCH formula.Currently I have a working formula that is IF(Job='Camp Ops',"First Aid & CPR" ) But I can't figure out how to get the formula to also be IF(Job='Kitchen',"First Aid & CPR) and IF(Job='Waterfront',"Lifegaurding") and so on. 

Hiya! I spent a lot of time googling and trying to find the answer but not having any luck. I need to find a formula that displays the previous Monday date based on a date in another field. Would also love to know what each element does so I can learn a little too rather than straight copy/paste. Thank you so much!
