Formulas

I have a description field, and would like to generate it based on values.  I could not find any way to format numbers, like there is DATE_FORMAT for dates.  The TEXT function in Google Sheets allows you to format exactly like you want it. In my case, I want to format the number as 0.00.  else, Airtable will sometimes show as 213.3, or 214.57777777 which is very ugly. 

Hello, I'm encountering an issue with a formula I'm using to calculate video aspect ratios in my Airtable base. I would appreciate any assistance in identifying the problem or suggesting an alternative approach. The formula I'm currently using for {test3} is: {test1} / {test2}Here's the expected behavior of the formula I'm using for aspect ratio calculation:- If the value of the field {test3} is 1.78, I want the formula to return "16x9".- If the value is 1.00, I want it to return "1x1".- If the value is 0.56, I want it to return "9x16".- If none of these conditions are met, I want it to return a blank result. The formula I'm using for this is:IF( {test3} = 1.78, "16x9", IF( {test3} = 1.00, "1x1", IF(

Hi there,I am hoping there is a formula for what I need. I want to be able to have a date populate when I put in 30 days from today, or 20 days, or 45 days.Example: I need to follow up with sales lead A 30 days from today. What is that date?Thank you! 

I have a column that has strings of option lists, and I would like to extract only one option "COLOR=" ,between the comma & " "(space), from them. These option lists sometimes include different language letter so It must extract english only.Here we have four examples of the string that shows the pattern.COLOR=WHITE 화이트, DETAIL=NONESLEEVE=SHORT 쇼트, COLOR=SKY BLUESLEEVE=LONG, COLOR=GRAY, TOP=DOUBLECOLOR=LIGHT YELLOW 밝은 노랑=>>>> I would like to see >>>>COLOR=WHITECOLOR=SKY BLUECOLOR=GRAYCOLOR=LIGHT YELLOWI tried REGEX-EXTRACT({option column},"COLOR=[a-zA-Z]+.*[a-zA-Z]+)"but obviously it includes after comma as well. something with '*,+' was recommended but do not know how to combine these..Thanks for the help in advanced!

Hey everyone! Can you help me to figure it out how to properly write this formula?IF(Result>={Goal120%},"Excellent",IF(Result={Goal100%},"Completed"),IF(Result<={Goal80%},"Partial"))Both Result, And Goals are Columms in my table. Thank you all, in advance! 

Hi everyone!I'd need help creating a formula that adds a number if there is one or more duplicate of that record.Example: if i have two record 'maria', one should be 'maria-1' and the other 'maria-2' or similar.For now i've tried a workaround using autonumbe, making a formula {name} & {number} but so they're not numbered sequentially by duplicates, just by the table order.Any ideas?

  Hey guys,I just started using AirTable today and i'm going crazzy on how to set up a percentage formula.I have column A which is named goal (set up as number), column B, which is names Actual (also set up as a number field), and column C which is the variance of the two. I'm trying to create a 4th column which would show me the variance in percentage and would be great if I would be able to also show it as a progress bar. Now, I have figured out the percentage bar, but how do I get the actual percentage instead of me having to calculate it every time?Is it actually doable?I have included a screenshot so you guys can better understand me 🙂Thank you everyone!

Ok so here's the main formula I'm trying to use for my "Monday Pay Hours" fieldIF({Monday Start} = BLANK(), 0,DATETIME_DIFF({Monday End}, {Monday Start}, 'minutes'))/60-0.5This gives me the exact hours worked, minus a half hour lunch break It's almost perfect, but what I need is to tell it that - IF the formula all the way up to here: IF({Monday Start} = BLANK(), 0,DATETIME_DIFF({Monday End}, {Monday Start}, 'minutes'))/60equals less than 5, then don't add the last step of subtracting the 0.5. 

Hello,We are a marketing & design team. We have a status field on each job that indicates if the job is currently sitting "with marketing", "with design", "complete", etc. Each time we hand the job back and forth between departments, we change that status field accordingly.  The change of status is subsequently tracked in the Activity/Comments panel of the job.  Is there a formula that can be written to look back through the last year's worth of job tickets, in each Activity panel, and count the number of times the STATUS field changed?(side note: 2 months ago I created an automation to begin tracking & counting that status change, so we have the data moving forward. However, I'm seeking to gather that data from months prior)Fingers crossed.....Thanks!

I have a form that users submit each week to log hours. I have a table that captures each submission in a new row along with how many hours they have left in total (not per week). I have fields that capture the hours logged that was submitted, the total available hours, and how many hours are left, but I am unable to get it to add up all of the hours for a single user and then provide me with the remaining hours. As an example, Jane K. (1st week)Hours logged this week = 4. Total available hours = 20. Remaining hours = 16.Jane K. (2nd week)Hours logged this week = 10. Total available hours = 20. Remaining hours = 10. How do I get the 'Remaining hours' total to be 6 (4 + 10 = 14 minus 20)? I would like to base it off of the first field in my table which is a concatenation of two values.  Thanks!

Hello - hoping someone can help! I feel (hope?) the solution is simple, but I am totally stumped!GOAL: I am trying to summarize the total number of unique values across 4 linked record fields. CONTEXT: I run a coaching business that hosts group coaching sessions (called cohorts) for clients. These cohorts sessions can span across 2-3 months. I currently have a table that summarizes the total number of group sessions for each month / client. In addition to tallying up the total number of group sessions, I also want tally up the total number of unique cohorts that are meeting monthly. ATTEMPTED SOLUTION: I thought that maybe I could create two additional fields (1) that combines all the linked records for the month / client into a comma separated list and (2) a field that then counts the number of unique values within that string of text... but I can't get that t

Hi I need your help. I do have a database of records with a number of columns corresponding to each record. Now I would like to send out an email to the database in order to confirm the data they have given in previous communication (original table) and additionally I would like them to confirm their willingness to take part in the competition (checkbox) and approve new consent (checkbox). I would expect to direct them to a form page with some prefilled records (email, name etc) along with new fields (consent). After submitting the form records from original table should be updated. Is that possible and how can I achieve that. Appreciate your help. Greg 

I am creating a hour tracker for my instructors (around 70 of them).  I have a requirement in which I show how many hours they taught each month.  In table 1 (Instructor Hours) I have everyone listed, with a formula field for total hours to date and each month through 2024.In table 2 I have a form to push updates to table 1, however the form I'm using just seems to replace the current number in table 1 for each month instead of adding them up.  Should I do a rollup linking to the update field that way, just tired of bashing my head against the wall trying to figure this out, any help would be appreciated.  Thank you!

Hi all, I'm trying to create a formula to add on to a scheduling template I'm using. There is already a field for Monday hrs, Tuesday Hrs, etc. Formatted like this: IF({Monday Start} = BLANK(), 0,DATETIME_DIFF({Monday End}, {Monday Start}, 'hours')) I'd like to add a new field "Pay Hours", which stipulates that if the field "Monday Hrs" has a value of 6 or higher, it should subtract 0.5 hours, so that the column under Pay Hours shows that day's hours minus 0.5.  How do I write that formula? I've tried a few times with no luck.  Thanks in advance!

I've tried this several times and nothing I do seems to work. I'm trying to wrap this formula in an IF(ISERROR( so that if there is an error it stays blank and I can't get it to work. I'm working with a formula field that sometimes displays text and sometimes a date. if it's a date, it should be used in the formula to give me the new date and if it's text, I just want the new field to remain blank.  IF( AND( {PAY2 TV From}="PAY1", {PAY1 Formula/Manual} ), DATETIME_FORMAT(DATEADD({PAY1 Formula/Manual},{PAY2 TV Amount},{PAY2 TV Time Frame}),"LL"), IF( AND( {LTR}, {PAY2 TV From}="LTR" ), DATETIME_FORMAT(DATEADD({LTR},{PAY2 TV Amount},{PAY2 TV Time Frame}),"LL"), "" ) ) 

Hey everyone, have a question about a formula I can't get working correctly.I only have a date field (Date) and a formula field, with the formula Date=TODAY()The formula returns a 1 for today and 0 if it's another date. So far so good.What I want is if there is no date that is today, I want it to return 1 for tomorrow and 0 for the rest of the dates until a Today date turns up again.Is this possible?Its just for a simple API filtering that shows what rows to read from.

I am going cross eyed trying to figure out the correct formula for getting a % field to show up in an automated email as a whole number %. Either rounded up or down. I have tried so many and it still is not pulling correctly. I have tried round up, ceiling and a few other but they never carry over correctly.

One of my fields has a copy of a record that should not be there. Is there an operator or formula that will find the two records which are NOT unique?I did a simple search for 'copy' - that did not work. Any other suggestions are welcome.Thx.

I have 2 tables: “Home Staging Projects” and “Inventory Items”. In the “Home Staging Projects” table, I want to vlookup on the “Project ID” and return the sum total of “Rental Price” for each inventory item selected for that project listed on the “Inventory Items” table. I hope that makes sense.I’m not sure if this makes a difference, but the “Inventory Items” table is linked to the “Home Staging Projects” table by (formula) “Project ID”.Is there a way to use a formula for this?

Hello, I've looked around for an answer to this but haven't found one yet, apologies if I've been looking in the wrong place or the answer is obvious.My airtable has a list of filename prefixes in one field and a corresponding number of files in another. The prefixes are formatted something like this: item-01, and then there would be a file count that can range up into the dozens. What I am hoping to do is use those two fields to create a file name list. So if the file count was 2, I would want a list that would go something likeitem-01-001.tifitem-01-002.tifThis data would then be output to a "filenames" tab in the airtable. Is this doable? I am not good with formulas so I've been trying various solutions using linked records and automations but I haven't had any luck. Thank you for reading! 

Hello - I could use some help with a formula or automation to get what I'm trying to achieve to happen.We have job numbers that are coded as follows:23 = year1 or 2 = office identifier0001 = job number for the yearExample: 2310023 What I need to happen is the next sequential 4-digit job number to be added to the year and office identifier each time a form is submitted to create a new record, and it needs to reset each year so that on the first '24 job, it starts over at 0001. Does this make sense?

I’m looking for a way to take a duration field (eg 1:32) and show it as “1 hours, 32 minutes” like with text. I’m imagining there might be a formula I could use, but I’m not sure the best way to go about it. Any thoughts would be great!
