Formulas

BackgroundI am using a "Search Records"-module in Make Automation to compare data in a scenario (=item for sale) against records matching specific criteria in Airtable (=user wanting to buy an ite, like a  "search request").Desired BehaviourThe search formula SHOULD  return the records where:1. Container Brand = Container Brand OR Container Brand = empty OR Container Brand = empty AND2. Height Value = empty OR  Height = empty OR Height Value = +/-8 of Height AND3. Weight Value = empty OR Weight = empty OR Weight Value =+/-10  of WeightIn plain language: Return those records where the Container Brand matches the customer preference AND container sizing is +/- close enough to the height & weight of the customer. If value is missing, then assume a match as the business decision is to avoid "false negatives", thus better inform t

How about creating a new field type ("Formula Script" or such), where Script (or at least some subscript) can be used for a field formula?  Or optionally allow Script in Formula field?

Hello,We are a vitamin supplement company and we buy ingredients from all over the world. We have 178 different ingredients which are used to create 17 products.  Sometime the same ingredients will be used for five different products.We want to create an inventory table that we will update manually when we receive or buy new ingredients, but decrease automatically when we dispatch ingredients that will be used to manufacture the product.For example, if we bought 20kg of magnesium, we need to add this to the existing stock on hand, ie. 10kg.  A new total of 30kg in stock.  When we manufacture the product SleepEeze we'll send 25kg to our manufacturer, and the stock should automatically decrease to 5kg left as stock on hand.  But I'll also take 2.5kg to manufacture CalmEeze, which should remove from stock on hand.  And so on.   I feel like this is so easy but I can't wrap my head around it. Thanks for your help in advance!

Hello Airtable Community,I'm currently working on an exciting project using Softr, where I'm creating a ranking system for athletes. Each athlete is assigned a unique score based on their performance in various exercises, and this score is then used to sort the athletes in Airtable.I have connected it already with tables in Softr and sorting based on that score gives me the result I wanted, but I would like also to display what's their position: 1st, 2nd … etc.Do you have any how to write a formula which will give me thei exact position on the leaderboard?Best regards,Konrad

HiI have a formula that compares a rollup to a text field and then returns any new additions to the rollup. However it seems to be returning an extra character, could anyone help me figure it out please?From this:'Nelson Dance Festival- 2024, Royal Tunbridge Wells Dance Festival- 2024, Blackburn Festival of Dance- 2024, Dudley Festival- 2024'I would like it to return 'Dudley Festival- 2024'But I'm getting '4, Dudley Festival- 2024'The formula is this:IF(LEN(ARRAYJOIN({Rollup Festivals Entered},", "))-LEN({Static Festivals Entered})>0,RIGHT(ARRAYJOIN

I am building a schedule/time management base where employees can show their interests for shifts by adding their names to a (multiple select) shift calendar. Employees are unionized and have to be prioritized by the lowest monthly hours given and seniority order. The issue i have is the names are sorted by whom added their names first to the shift interest multiple select column. How can this box by sorted by 'lowest hours, seniority' instead.... OR could i get airtable to suggest the right employee from the list of avaiable employees on a shift?

I have a formula field that calculates a value (results a number) based on a lookup field (e.g. a date). When the lookup field is empty due to a missing input, formula field results with a NaN or ERROR.In that case, I want to highlight RED color to that record so operators understand that they should fix the missing input. Unfortunately, there isn't a way to enter a color condition statement such as "WHEN formula field IS ERROR, SET COLOR red".Is there a solution for this? @dashler78 

Hello Airtable Community!I'm currently working on implementing a dynamic ranking system for my gaming challenge, and I'd love some guidance on using Airtable for this purpose.Project Overview:I want to create a fluctuating Rank Rating like Elo/MMR in competitives video games.. For the sake of clarity lets call this player rating unit RP for Rating points.  RP are based on player performance (each new player start at 1000 RP).Each rank, like Challenger, Gold, etc., would have a specific RP range (e.g., Challenger: 2500 RP to 3000 RP).Key Components:Ranking Points (RP): A dynamic elo system that adjusts with player performance.Ranking System: Each rank defined by a specific RP range.Specific Questions:How can I set up a dynamic RP system that adjusts with player performance?Is there a

Hi 👋 I'm not an expert with formulas, but I think I'm overthinking this / making it more complicated than it needs to be.I have a CSAT (customer satisfaction score) form in Typeform that is being automatically sent to Airtable. What I'm trying to do is:a) calculate the CSAT score (# of 4/5 star ratings, divided by # of total responses, multiplied by 100)b) have it calculated every calendar week (so there should be a new rating every Monday)I can do this manually for now, but I want a way that each week, people can look and see what the score is, without anyone having to manually calculate it.I'm totally lost, although I think I am overthinking this. Any ideas? &#x1f605I've attached screenshots of the set-up currently. We have two sources for the feedback form, so there's one table for each of those.Then I have the 'Score' table, which has 5 records, one for each rating (1-5 stars), plus another

Hello,Want to strike through text in a cell if a given string is found in another cell in that row.  Is this possible?The cell whose text I want to strike through is already a concatenation of various other field values.  It's looking in a different field for the term "OMIT", and if that is found I'd like the text strike-through'd.The "OMIT" will be searched for in a single select field, but I don't think that matters since I've already successfully searched for and IF'd stuff based on single select text contents.TIA for any assistance.

Hello! We operate in an industry dealing with perishable goods, where the timing of receiving products (INBOUND) and the customer's requested shipping date (OUTBOUND) are crucial factors. We are trying to create a base structure/formula so we can keep track of inventory.Our primary challenge is to accurately determine the current inventory of raw materials on any given day. This inventory depends on the items we currently have on hand and any anticipated future deliveries of raw materials (INBOUND) for the upcoming week, provided they arrive before the customer's designated ship-out date (OUTBOUND Ship Date). Furthermore, our system must consider existing customer orders placed for the week and determine which incoming delivery of raw materials these orders will draw from.For example, suppos

Hello,I have a problem with a formula linked to a look up. I have a table with my banking transactions (linked to my bank) and another with forecast expenses. I did a look up to get the bank balance and I made a formula (Bank balance-expenses) for the first line the calculation is correct but for the other lines it does not give me the balance calculated above. Do you have any ideas to solve this problem?

I have these two fields Formula on Contract Yield % is this:({Contract Rent PW}*52)/{Purchase Price}I need to replace the formula in the Contract Yield, to an IF formula.More likely:When the result on Contract Yield is 0%,   If Contract yield = above 1%, use Contract yield formula, but if it's 0% I need to use Appraised Yield Can you please help me what is the correct formula to make it work?I already tried (IF({Contract Yield}=0,{Appraised Yield}but it's not showing the correct results

(Similar to this post though with an additional layer)I have a table with Interactions. There's a Status single-select field and a Timestamp field (since this data is being imported from elsewhere) that shows when the data was captured in the original system.There's a second table named Opportunities. All the interactions with one individual are linked to their respective Opportunity record. I need a field in the Opportunities table that reflects the Status of the linked Interaction record with the most recent / max Timestamp.The solution to the post I linked above pulls the max date, which would work if all I needed was the most recent Timestamp date pulled into the Opportunity record. However I need to know the most recent Status based on the Timestamp.Any thoughts? I may be missing a simple

Muy buenas tardes,Estoy montando mi propio gestor de proyectos, estos proyectos quiero numerarlos con números consecutivos, pero que el primer número sea un número en especifico.Por ejemplo:N. de Pedido: P003245 (Esté sería el primer campo de la tabla)Además, al crearse un nuevo pedido debe de aparecer automaticamente el número consecutivo (en el caso del ejemplo superior, P003246).Extras de funcionamiento:Además, voy a utilizar el apartado de formulario, para introducir los pedidos de una forma más automática y sencilla (no voy a ser yo la persona encargada, y se necesita sencillez). Mi consulta sería, ¿Existe alguna forma de que en el Formulario el N. de Pedido (automatizado anteriormente) aparezca de forma automática? Sin tener que incluirlo a mano.Muchas gracias____________________________________________________Hello,I'm setting up my own project

Hi, I'm new to airtable and am trying to get a simple conditional VAT formula to work. I feel like I am circling the solution but I'm not quite there. Essentially I am trying to track various hires and purchases for work, some of which have VAT and some do not. I have a Gross cost but I need the NET cost (without VAT).I currently have a VAT Field that is a single select field with options None and 20%. I'm trying to write a conditional formula for the NET Cost that is based on the VAT field and essentially works as follows:IF {VAT="NONE", Gross AmountIF {VAT="20%", (GROSS Amount/120)*100I keep getting invalid formula and error messages and I'm not quite sure what I'm missing.Any help greatly appreciated! 

Hello all,I have a problem that I'm trying to fix, and I have not been able to fix it with the posts with related questions.I have a field with numbers that I want to round up to another field with numbers. I'll explain the situation:So it's about ordering products. I get an order recommendation let's say for product A this is 55. But the products are packed in boxes of a certain quantity (let's say 20), so I cannot order 55 pieces, I'd have to order either 40 pieces or 60 pieces (2 or 3 boxes of 20 pieces).Is it possible to use a formula to automatically round the number upward to meet the required amount (in the examples this should be 60)?

I need help creating a formula.Basically I need this to do this:If there is an extension marked yes than the move-out date changes to how many day per the extend plus the move-out date. Ex if there is an extension original move-out date was 1/1/23 and there was 30 day extend the new date would be 1/31/23.If there is no extension then move-out date is move-out date. Ex: 1/1/23 is move out no extension then 1/1/23 stays the move-out. I would think this formula is it but it is not. IF({Is there an extension} = "yes", DATEADD({Lease End Date} + {If there is an extension how many days approved}, "days"), IF

I want to add a formula where I the cell value is equal to the row number. So when I move the records around, the cell value dynamically changes. Any suggestions on how I can do this?

The aim is to use a form to book seating for film screenings, however, the issue is that the form must show how many seats are available. I was thinking of possibly using a rollup to connect fields with the maximum capacity, the number of previously reserved seats, and thus a field in the form which would show how many seats remain available. I'm not entirely sure this could work, but I would appreciate any and all ideas to solve this!

I have a field which contains product names with measurement unit in the same field."Product Name 100grams" or "Product Name 500ml"I want to create a formula to extract 100grams or 500ml (these measurement units need not to be in the last place of the field.Is there any way to grab these units?

We have a table called Documents and I want to use a formula that pulls the name of the file in the {Attachment} field in order to provide the Name of the record. I've been using the LEFT({Attachments},FIND("(",{Attachments})-1) for this purpose and it works great, but I've now found that if the name of the attached file contains a comma, then the formula name adds a quotation mark at the beginning of the name. So now I'm trying to combine the SUBSTITUTE and FIND formulas to:1. Look at the name of the attached file, and if it contains a comma then replace it with a hyphen (eg. 'Ocala, FL' becomes 'Ocala-FL' )  2. Then use the name of the attached file as the name of the record without the URL at the end (using the FIND formula). Another acceptable option would be to just remove the comma from any

Hi there,In the last few months we been happy with getting an email on each new lead being created in one of our tables. The email contains all the needed data relevant for our sales team. BUT i'd really want that email to contain an attachment which is a .eml file (email) which is populated specifically with the records data. How can i accomplish this?Goal is to minimize errors when our sales rep copy/paste the data from the email. 

Dear Community, hope someone can help me out with this!The formula below indicates based on {Check in date} and {Check out date} how many months a booking of a rental apartment is actually in the current quarter. However in this formula, when the check in date is higher then the 17th of the month in gives one month less. So lets say check in date 17th of October and check out on the last day of December, it gives 3 months. Anything above the formula gives 2 months. However, this is not correct. For any date above the 17th of the month it should also give 3 months as the booking falls into 3 months of the quarter. Obviously if a new month start then it should give 2 months so 1/11 till 31/12 is 2 months. Can someone please help me write a correct formula for this?The formula below was created by Airtable support, but incorrect and they did not want to help me further! Thank you so much!!!ROUND
