Formulas

My table has four fields: Total Price, Total Paid, Amount Owed, and Payment Status. When the value of Total Price and Total Paid are the same, the value in the Amount Owed field, predictably, shows "$0" – however when I use the value of {Amount Owned} in a custom formula for the Payment Status field, it shows up as "7.275957614183426e-12" i.e. a near-zero value, but not zero. This is causing my formula to break, although I can work around it by checking if the value is "< 0.01" instead of "== 0". This appears to be a bug in AirTable, Total price is a manually entered currency value.Total Paid is a rollup field, summed from a different table using SUM(values)Amount Owned is a simple formula subtracting Total Paid from Total PriceAnd Payment Status is a formula that looks like this:IF({Total Price} > 0,  IF

Hello,I am very new to Airtable, and would love some advice or guidance bringing a few ideas to life. I am using Airtable for an applicant/candidate tracking system, interview scheduling, and job tracking for a recruitment firm.The current set-up is that we have a master database table that houses any and all candidates we've ever spoken to for any role, past or present, like a CRM. In the master database, I have a "Considered for" column, which shows which role(s) this individual has or is being considered for. Then we have a table for each active role.1. I want to create a formula/linked workflow so that if an applicant's "considered for" column is the same as the name of the open role of another table, they are automatically added to that table. Example: We are opening an Account Executive role and create a new table for it. If an applicant's "Considered for" column contains "sales" OR "account executive," or their skillset keywords include "sales," then they

Hi all -I have a table that acts as a timesheet for the same users to submit hours each week.I use the 'Hours Logged' from Fig. 1 (which is an entry for that week) and add it as a lookup value to my table with my people names (Fig. 2). There's multiple entries in the Hours Logged in Fig. 2 as it should, but when I go to my main table, it doesn't show the 'Hours Logged Sum' for that week. Instead, it shows it based on all entries. Is there a way so that I can get the 'Hours Logged Sum' to show what the sum would be for that week like a running sum for each individual? As an example, how would I show that the hours logged sum would be: Hours logged = 3.0; Hours Logged Sum = 3.0; Max Hours = 40; Hours available = 37Hours logged = 1.0; Hours Logged Sum = 4.0; Max Hours = 40; Hours available = 36Hours logged = 5.0; Hours Logged Sum = 9.0; Max Hours = 40; Hours available = 31Fig. 1

Hello!Currently I have a button column linked to a column with a webhook. When I press this button, the webhook is triggered and the row informations are exported to Make.I want to get in a column, the number of times the button has been triggered (+1 each time).Do you have an idea ?Cheers

I have a Date field (Date Asset Added) whose value is entered manually formatted like this:12/8/2023Another field (Date RM) contains this formula: DATEADD({Date Asset Added}, 0, 'day')  which outputs this: 12/8/2023.  12:00am I want to execute an automtion when these two values match, which they don't. So I tried using thiis: DATETIME_FORMAT(DATEADD({Date Asset Added}, 0, ‘days’), ‘M/D/YYYY’)) which outputs this: 2023-12-08T00:00:00+00:00  I think that DATETIME_FORMAT turns the date value into text. In any case, what form

Hello,Thanks in advance for any assistance with this.We have a ticket system whereby people submit by form an action and it's completed with a time stamp; with a goal of completing every request within 8 hours.Currently we determine if the time completed was within 8 hours of it being submitted and that generates a "1" in a formula column.  That column provides a percentage of the amount of 1's filled and gives us a service level.Recently I was asked to refine this solution to only consider submissions during business hours (Mon-Fri between 9am-6pm).This way, anything submitted outside of business hours doesn't count against the 8 hour service level until it's within spec.If something is submitted at 6:01pm, the timer freezes until 9am the next day given it's not a weekend.Alternately as long as something is submitted within business hours the timer does not stop even if it exceeds business hours or goes into a weekend.I'm

I have searched Airtable Help and Google and haven’t located a solution for the following issue: I have created simple formulas in Currency and Number fields. The results are always rounded up. I’ve tried different options (Integer, decimal places) but they made no difference. How do I get Airtable to show the correct result without rounding up? Thank you!

Hi, I am trying to count the number of months from the Start Date till today.  The actual day of the 'Start Date' doesn't matter.  For example, if 'Start Date' is 9/20/23 and today is 12/11/23, I want to count the number of months that have passed: Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec = 4.  I have tried this formula: DATETIME_DIFF(TODAY(),{Start Date},'months') but, I know that doesn't work. I have been searching the community and haven't found the right solution.  Any help would be appreciated.

I am trying to format decimals in a formula to no avail: To the left is the number the 3rd column is what happens when this number is used in a formula (the end is cut off for numbers ending in 0) (e.g. 12.50 > £12.5 middle column is where I have formatted the number with this formula: so this was a solution found on another thread: IF({Refill / lowest price}, “£” & {Refill / lowest price} & IF(FIND(".", {Refill / lowest price} & “”) = LEN({Refill / lowest price} & “”) - 1, “0”)) However, if you now look at the middle column it works for the £12.50, but for any round numbers under 10 it misses the decimal place. (i.e. 5.00 > £50. Any help with tweaking this formula would be greatly appreciated! THANKS! :grinning_face_with_big_eyes:

Hi,I have a database with special dates of each month (Christmas, Halloween, etc). I'm using the DATEADD formula to add 1 year to a date field.For example, for Christmas I have the date 24/12/2023 and I expect the DATEADD formula to result in 24/12/2024 (field "Próxima Fecha" of my attached screenshot).However, I'm getting 23/12/2024 as a result. This happens with all the dates (gives 1 day difference).Is it a bug or I'm missing something?Thanks!

I'm using a no-code tool and I want to have a multi-like with Airtable.On the no-code side, we've set up GET, POST and PATCH to make the like work, but the problem is that it's not attached to a single user. In other words, let's say user A posts a like that goes to the favorites page, user B and C log in and see A's likes and vice versa. After speaking with the no-code platform, they tell us that the solution must be found by Airtable because it's the backend -> I'll share with you what XANO is doing. The idea is the same principle, but with Airtable if possible: https://www.xano.com/snippet/qCmG9KcL/J I'm using a no-code tool and I want to have a multi-like with Airtable.On the no-code side, we've set up GET, POST and PATCH to make the like work, but the problem is that it's not attached to a single user.

I am working on a budget base, where each month has it's own amount connected to a milestone. I'm wondering how I can link a multiple choice field which refers to specific budget lines, to specific fields in the same row, which indicate monthly amounts. So if the multiple field refers to e.g. 'A' and the monthly amount for December field is e.g. '200', how do I make it e.g. '200A', while at the same time in the same row, I want November field amount e.g. '100' to be referring only to 'B' in the same multiple dropdown field, making it therefore e.g. '100B'. Just keep in mind that the milestone amounts are always different, while budget lines have fixed value. Thank you!

Hello! I have a pretty basic formula that isn't working for some reason. Basically, I'm trying to see if a substring I'm extracting with a REGEX formula, and then trimming, is contained inside another string. Here is my formula: FIND({Formula Field of String to Search For}, "" & {Lookup Field of String to Search Inside}) The second parameter seems fine: I know that the lookup field needs the  ["" &] to force it to render as a string instead of an array, and that's working. The issue I'm having is with the first parameter, the string to search for.This formula field that the first parameter is referencing a REGEX_EXTRACT() on a long text field, that I need to edit (either using LEFT() or TRIM()). My goal is to then search for this extracted string in the string generated from the lookup field, using FIND(). However, no matter what I do, the first parameter it seems like it isn't accepted as a string

I need to be able to write a formula that checks if the last modified date is after a specific date and time. Basically, I imported a large batch of data and I want to track whenever a change is made after the specific date and time of import. I'm having trouble referencing the specific date and time of import within my IF(IS_AFTER) formula. Here is what I have so far - but I know AT isn't reading the date and time I referenced. IF(IS_AFTER({Updated Post Initial Import}), '2023-07-14 120000', "Updated Post Initial Import")

Hi, I have been trying to create a status field that uses a formula to indicate when a project is completed IF({% Complete}=100%,"complete"). The problem is whenever I type a number into the formula, it says "invalid formula". What am i doing wrong? I even have copied and pasted formulas from the airtable help page but the number portion is always red, as shown below. The red indicates (to me) that this is where the code is broken, but maybe im wrong? How can i fix it?   

Hi all!I want to express my gratitude to @Sho  for being extremely helpful in sharing a formula that significantly improved our reporting process. Now, I am seeking assistance for a new development phase.Currently, I am looking into two specific requirements:Formatting Unchecked Boxes: Is there a method to ensure that unchecked boxes consistently appear at the top of the Long Text, rich text formatted box?Standardizing Date Format: Is there a way to format the text following the checkboxes to consistently include the date in the format provided by Sho (YYYY/MM/DD)? I aim to establish a standardized approach to avoid inconsistencies among team members.To provide some context, I've attached a screenshot depicting the current layout. While I personally remember to place unchecked boxes at the top and include the date at the end of the sentence, not

Hi all! I have a couple of survey forms in one table - one is for user group X, the other is for a different user group Y. Questions are similar, so I want responses in the same table but want to be able to filter view the records by each user group (eg by form that was used to generate the record). I thought that generating record IDs would indicate the source of which form (and therefore which user group) created the record, but it seems to be random. Is another way I can extract and filter which form generated which record? Thanks!!

Hello!I am trying to set up a formula to when a checkbox in the field "Invoiced?" is checked, the "Status" field is then changed to "Invoiced". I am setting this up so that Zapier can (hopefully) check a box if a record is still there and override anything that is no longer in the Excel file. I am trying to create a formula that would do that and can't seem to figure it out. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

Hello everyone!I have two tables:Table 1, where records correspond to products,Table 2, where records correspond to sales of products.I'm trying to create a single roll-up field in Table 1, so that for each product record, it gives me the sum of all revenue generated from all sales records in Table 2 which correspond to the product in question.I seem to understand that the conditional rollup formula will only allow me to sum records in Table 2 for which a particular record (e.g., "Product Type") equals a fixed value (e.g., a single-select). I am trying to set up a rollup formula which will execute different sums according to the different values that could show up in a particular record (e.g., different Product Types for each individual sales record).For example:Table 1 has 2 product records: Books and CDs.Table 2 has 10 sale records: 4 for Books and 6 for CDs.

Hi,I have two tables I work with:1. table of employees,2. Table of events3. table of enrollment to each event.I want people to enroll to events each time an event is created.I created an enrollment form in the enrollment table to insert the data there. I created a formula in the employee table that an automation sends a mail with a link to the form for each of them.However, I need the formula to prefill the event name and type to this form, and so there are two prefills to be made on the same formula from two different tables:1 employee table - the name of the employee and, more importantly, their email2. event table: Event name and type.Reminding the location of the formula is in the employee tableAny Idea how I can insert the event name and type into the formula?Nitai

Hi everyone, I need to have a “Filter” column that is pulling date values from 3-4 different columns and selecting the one that is the most recent. So if we have 3/10/2021, 3/10/2022 and 3/10/2023, the date that populates the “Filter” column is 3/10/2023. It’s not always consistent which column will have the most updated date. Is that possible to write a formula for? Update: MAX () doesn’t seem to work for anything other than Number fields. Desired outcome is to look at multiple Date column values, pull latest date value or if all the values are the same, output the same value.
