Hi,Would like to set up a Trigger Reminder with the formula;IF(AND({Reminder},NOW() >= {Reminder}),"Trigger Reminder")But instead of NOW, would like to customized it to xx hours from created TIME, specifically. Have only seen customize formulas for a certain date or number of days but nothing for a certain time period. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello! This filter does not take into account the time part when applied in URL: filterGreaterOrEqual_Date=2023-10-17T22%3A00%3A00.000ZExcept for when I set it at 22:00 where it filters OUT all records with date October 17, 2023 and "allows" them back in when I set it to 21:59.Other settings such as 06:00:00.000Z or 18:00:00.000Z show every record of October 17. Dates on my table are:17 October 2023 00:00 UTC17 October 2023 00:00 UTC17 October 2023 10:00 UTC17 October 2023 10:30 UTC17 October 2023 22:30 UTCIf I remove the time altogether it catches Dates very well: filterGreaterOrEqual_Date=2023-10-17 works fine. Any Ideas please? 

I am trying to auto-number a group of records for one person in a table with multiple people listed with numbers 1,2,3, etc.. In Excel, I would use a formula to add one number to the above cell, and it would number all rows sequentially. I usually manually number each record, but I am hoping a simple formula would number the list.Here is a screenshot of my table consisting of the records I need based on a filter.  The row with # in the title is where I would put the formula.  Any suggestions? 

My field has a name followed by a number - SAM ADAMS (1234).   I need to put the 1234 in it's own field.   What is the best way to write a formula to do that?   

I would like to know how to auto number based on the building link and location name in my base. as per the picture below. Can someone let me know if this is possible and if so the solution.TIA. James. 

Hi everyone, i'm a new user of airtable and just wanted to ask if there's a way to do this?The first Col row 1 (red box). If that specific row is not blank.It will fill out the entire next col (blue box).  

I'm trying to write a formula to check whether a lookup field contains a specific value.These lookup fields might contain one or multiple values, e.g.applesapples, pearspears, bananas, strawberriesI've been using the formula IF(FIND("apples", {fruitName}), "yes", "no") In this case, I would expect 1 and 2 to return as "yes", but only 1 is returning yes. Find seems to require an exact match, and if there are other values in the lookup field, it returns false. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?

Hi community.I have a single-select field called Sector in a table called Projects. I'm trying to cast this field to a string.The reason I'm trying to do this is that I'm trying to build an automation, in which I will need a conditional step that will check this stringified single-select field to a multi-select field in another table to see if the multi-select field contains the the selected value in the single-select field.Thus far, I've created a formula field in Projects with various formulas (or formulae, for the sticklers out there), including:- ARRAYJOIN(Sector)-Sector-LEFT(Sector)No matter what, when I go to the automation it won't let me choose the field because AT says "Cannot assign list of string to a string".Please help!!!Thank you!

Hi,I have created a prefilled Airtable Form.Whenever I click on the link from my Airtable Base, it opens the form and prefills the form with all the desired information (including line breaks, see image below).The trouble begins, however, when I try to use this exact same URL in an Email Automation (see image below).The link is displayed properly in the email (see image below).However, the linebreaks no longer work (see image below). This makes the text unreadable. It's an important part of the process, so if

Hi,I have a multiselect field containing topics. It is a linked field to another table and each topic might contain a comma within its value. I need to prefill a form with that data but I find Is it possible or do I have to remove the commas within the field values?Example of topics:Agricoltura, Ambiente e Territorio, Calamità NaturaliPolitiche per il Lavoro, Formazione Professionale e Servizio CivileCulturaFormulas I tried:This only fills the first topic: CONCATENATE( IF( "Prefilling [Form Preferenze] view in [Contatti] table in base with id 'appYSPQbVoKOqpys7'", "https://airtable.com/appYSPQbVoKOqpys7/shrVvuD1tVKS88IiG" ), CONCATENATE( "?prefill_" & ENCODE_URL_COMPONENT("Temi di Interesse"), "=" & ENCODE_URL_COMPONENT({Temi di Interesse} & "") ) ) If I try to remove the comma+space, it doesn't work for the topics that

I have 5 non-value fields that indicate if a person has paid an application fee or not. The fields are: 180 GBP, 210 GBP, 240 GBP, 270 GBP, and 300 GBP. If a person has paid, it will say "Completed" under the column that they have paid. It will say "Not Started" if they have not paid. For example: If person A has paid the fee of 240 GBP, it will say "Completed" under that column, and it will say "Not completed" under all of the other monetary columns. (it was not my idea to organise it this way, it is just the way it has to be!)I would like to add a formula field called "Paid" that can identify if a person has paid (Yes or No) based on the statuses of the 5 monetary value columns. I want it to recognize that if 1 of the columns in a row is "completed" that the "Paid" value will be "Yes."Does anyone know if this is possible? Please see photo attached for an example of how the fields are laid out, and a sample "paid" field. 

Greetings, I have a zip code field that's either 5 digits or 9 digits. I need a formula to display the zip code as either 12345 or 12345-6789 depending on the content of the field. I know How to write the beginning of the formula, I do not know how to write the if 9 part.  I have IF({Zip Code} <6,{Zip Code}, Need to describe the 9 digit code with a dash.)Anyone have a thought on this? I am using a number field for the zip code. Is this the correct field to use?Thanks, Scott

Is there a way to put parts of a formula (while writing or editing it) on separate lines, like in a visual editor, to better organize? It works when I cut and paste, but I can’t figure out how to do it in the box. Any suggestions?

Hello, I am having issues with adding additional advertising week options to the formula below. This formula works well:IF(AND({Advertising Plan}, {Live Date}),SWITCH( {Advertising Plan},"4 weeks", DATEADD({Live Date}, 27, 'days'),"52 weeks", DATEADD({Live Date}, 364, 'days'))) But as soon as I try to add additional week options (I have already added them to the Advertising Plan single select field), I get the 'formula not valid warning'. This is what I am putting in:IF(AND({Advertising Plan}, {Live Date}),SWITCH({Advertising Plan},"2 weeks", DATEADD({Live Date}, 13, 'days'){Advertising Plan},"4 weeks", DATEADD({Live Date}, 27, 'days'),"8 weeks"({Live Date}, 27, 'days',"52 weeks", DATEADD({Live Date}, 364, 'days' ))) Please let me know where my formula is mucking me up, I feel I am going cr

Hey there!I am an Airtable novice looking for formula help. 🙃I have a table with columns: Year, Candidate, Entity/Org, Side, Race Level, State, DistrictRight now, my formula is:IF(Candidate !="", CONCATENATE({Candidate},", ",State," ",District),CONCATENATE({Entity/Org}," - ", Side))which will pull the Entity/Org & Side when the candidate field is empty. However, there are instances wherethe District field is empty (in which case I want to pull in the {Candidate},", ",State," ",{Race Level})& instances where the District field AND the Candidate field are empty (where I want to pull in the {Entity/Org}," - ", Side))Any help is greatly appreciated!Thanks!

I know how to make my date show correctly using DATETIME_PARSE(DATETIME_FORMAT({EDate}, 'MM/DD/YY'))And I know how to create a new string by using this formula{EDate (from Events For Sync)}& "- "&{EID#}But what I can't figure out is how to make the first formula work with the second formula into one formula that works.I've tried different ways but nothing seems to work and I am stumpedThis may seem easy for some - but I am frustrated that the date field when you have it set for one way doesn't carry the content over when used in a formula.  But whatever.

Here's the story:A few years ago I set up a base to capture birthday information for school applicants. Users would fill out a form (everyone using it was on EST), and enter a birthday (date only, no time).A year or so ago I started getting reports that some dates shown in our dashboard interface were off by 1 day. E.g. if the entered birthday was Dec 10, the interface would show Dec 9. (This may have correlated with when Airtable made some changes to the way they handled dates/timezones internally?)I'd like to fix this "correctly", so I'd really like to understand what is happening behind the scenes.When users submit a date with a form, does the user locale or browser timezone have any influence on the submitted date? Did the behavior of form-submitted dates change when Airtable made date handling changes?Are dates still stores as ISO strings (with timestamps) even if we don't want/have any time information?How can I correctly render a date

When a person joins our company I record their actual start date. However, their annual contract renewal date always starts the 1st day of the following month.I want to be able to record their start date and then have a column showing their next annual renewal date (the first of whatever the following month is) that updates as years go on.Example) Someone starts on 11/15/2023. I want the renewal column to show 12/1/2024.  Once the present date is past 12/1/2024, I would want that to automatically update to 12/1/2025.

Let's say I have a table of Invoices and then a table of payments. Each invoice is an aggregate of payments i.e. one invoice can have multiple payments. How can I get the index of each payment in the list of the invoice?

So I'm tracking vehicles in my base(s), and I typically use a formula for my primary field for ease of search for my coworkers:  CONCATENATE("Branch #"," ",Location," ",Year," ",Make," ",Model," ",VIN) Ends up yielding something like Branch #123 2022 Ford F-150 1FTCR15X0TTA01050 This works really well for us, because we use that primary field in a wide variety of forms and other linked bases, so if someone doesn't know their vin, they can search by branch and narrow it down, etc. What I'm trying to get my head around i

Hi,I'm terrible at the formula stuff, but basically I have a Publish Date in my Airtable view for when a piece of content should be published. I want to add the Day of Week as well so we can clear see which post is which day, as well as the actual date (as some gets scheduled a bit further in advance)The formula I'm using to display the day is:  DATETIME_FORMAT({Publish Date},'dddd')All I need to do is display nothing if there is no publish date set
