Formulas

I am comfortable creating a prefilled form using two tables. I am having issues getting a prefilled form to work across three tables. The top field in the form is a Link field between the primary and secondary tables using the recordID. Simple enough so far. But I have a third table with records that link back to the primary table. I want users to be able to select records (from this third table) in a second Link field at the bottom of the form. My attempt at doing this is creating Link fields from this third table to both the primary and secondary tables, hoping the record ID would pull through to populate the selection in the prefilled form. My thinking is that the record ID for the Third--->Primary and Third--->Secondary links are the same record ID. This has not been successful. Below is an example of the formula I am trying. CONCATENATE("https://airtable.com/abc/xyz/form?prefill_PrimaryField=",RECORD_ID(),"&prefill_Secon

 Originally when we created our system, we used text fields to record the Call Time and Gig Time Span. Since we have the time zones already saved for each record, I am wondering if there is an easy way to do the following: Switch the Call Time Field from a Text Field to a Time field (without having to type the time zone every time) Switch the Gig time Span Field into 2 different Time fields for both previous records and current records, a Start Time and End Time. Similarly, I do not want to type the time zone every time. Moving forward, I would like to only have to type the start start and end time for an event in separate fields (not in the text box).If this is possible, these would save a ton of time and allow us to do better, more efficient work. Thank you for your help!

Hello, I work with ships and would like to create a grams/day formula which takes the date from our last interaction (order) with that ship to measure from. I cannot work out how to have it search for the previous record to take that as the date to give the days passed value for the equation.Anyone have any tips?

Hi Airtable folks, I’ve got this really fun bookkeeping base I’ve created, which I use in conjunction with Fintable.io (a way to push bank transactions into Airtable – highly recommend!). Since Fintable downloads the transaction names from my bank statements in all sorts of different ways depending on how the banks format them, I wanted to create a formula to extract the Vendor name from when I receive or send money through Zelle. The thing is that this can show up in a variety of ways:ZELLE FROM FIRSTNAME LASTNAME ON DATEZELLE TO FIRSTNAME LASTNAME ON DATEZelle Payment to FirstName LastNameZelle Payment from FirstName LastNameZelle Payment to FirstNameZelle Payment from FirstNameAnd so on…  What I’m getting stuck on is how to combine two formulas I ended up creating: one that returns both the first name and last name of the person (but when there is no last name, returns some of the random extra characters

Hi, I have about 50 task fileds that each have a status. They can be marked as Assigned, In Progress, Complete, Question for Supervisor,  Question for Administrator. Each field is a multiple select field, because sometimes there is a question for both the supervisor and the administrator. I have a view for the supervisor and a view for the administrator that are each filtered to only show tasks that have a question for them. I have a formula field for each them that pulls out which task has the question.The formula for the supervisor is as follows: (The admin has the same formula, just with ADMIN instead of SUP in the formula)CONCATENATE( IF({Task A Status}="Questions for SUP", "Task A"), IF({Task B Status}="Questions for SUP", ", Task B"), IF({Task C Status}="Questions for SUP", ", Task C"), IF({Task D Status}="Questions for SUP", ", Task D") ) This works great. My question is, what if I have a ques

Hello all, We have recently implemented Airtable on our team to account for hours worked by employees. To gather the information, I created a form in which they answer at the end of every work-day to take into account the actual hours worked. These answers feed a database that groups every reply by week/employee. In the database, I created a column of “Work-day” which is the employee’s weekly hours divided by 5 business days. This way, when they answer the form, I would have the daily overtime and then it would be grouped weekly and it would give me the weekly overtime.However, the team is mainly composed by part-time workers and that’s where it becomes tricky. We don’t really enforce a fixed start/finish hour, so a person who has a contract of 18 hours/week, may work only 2 days one week and then 5 days the next week, picture below.

Hi there, If I have data that is pulled in from another file and in one column it is showing this - Project department (John Smith)How do I grab the (John Smith) part and let it populate into the column next to it?  Adding to that once I have the names do these names need to be added to the base in order for them to view their assigned things in an interface? Many thanks

So I have a paragraph, from which I would like to extract a few sentences via formula. The reason for this is that I need to copy the sentences in the middle and insert them into other pieces of text. I need to do this a lot of times, for text in several languages I do not read, which makes it annoying to do visually.  While the number of characters will vary a lot language to language, the number of sentences is the same, so I had hoped to use periods and REGEX to isolate the sentences I need. Basically I have: > This is the first sentence. Here’s another sentence. Beginning of the part I need. I also need this. Here’s a sentence I don’t need. <!--more--> I can use Regex and LEN to get rid of the <!--more-->,  but it seems like going further than that is beyond my current skill. Any ideas?

Problem SummaryI'm building a WhatsApp AI concierge system using n8n that sends data to Airtable, but I'm having issues with field expressions not being processed correctly.Current SetupTool: n8n workflow Integration: WhatsApp → n8n → Claude AI → Airtable Airtable Base: "My Premium Concierge - Master Database" Table: "WhatsApp Automation"The IssueWhen I use expressions in my Airtable node fields, they appear as literal text instead of processed values:What I'm trying to capture:Phone Number: Real customer phone number Client Name: Real customer name Notes: AI response from ClaudeWhat I'm seeing in Airtable:Phone Number: $node["Code"].json["customerPhone"] (literal text) Client Name: $node["Code"].json["customerName"]

I think this formula IF({Last Deployment} = 'MM/DD/YY', 'MM/DD/YY', "*") says: IF (the value of the field Last Deployment is a date, show the date, otherwise pop in an asterisk (instead of #ERROR!)) But what I’m getting now is either an  * or #ERROR! - pretty much the opposite of what I am trying to accomplish. 

I have a base to manage my vendor payments, and a table that warehouses the vendors’ contracts and payment terms. In that contract table, I’d like to make a formula field that returns the next date when I should expect an invoice, depending on the payment terms (in this table, that is a single-select field titled “Invoice Schedule”). One of the “Invoice Schedule” options is “monthly,” meaning the formula field I am trying to make should just return the last day of the month (preferably month-over-month, as several contracts are long term). Here’s how I’ve set up that part of the formula - AT accepts the formula, but returns only blank values. I think that I’m misusing or misunderstanding SWITCH() - wondering if anybody can advise on what I’m doing incorrectly here? Also definitely feels like I’ve overcomplicated this solution but was the best I could figure out, so super open to more elegant solves if you’ve got them! IF( {Inv

Hi, I’m trying to roundup the following formula: ({GROUP PRICE}+({EXTRAS}*3))/3Where GROUP PRICE is the pricing for a group to which I add extras * by number of guests and then divide by 3 to obtain a price per person. The formula is working and in this case I obtain a pricing of 101.667€. I’m trying to roundup this number to 102€.Thanks

Hello, I have an airtable app that supports our HR and Finance teams.  As part of the build, I am looking to reference the employee ‘start date’ and ‘end date’ to determine how many days, or workdays that employee worked in a specified month (assume each month starts on the 1st and ends on the last day 30/31) Example fields:Start date: 01-10-25End date: 01-25-25Month Start: 01-01-25Month End: 01-31-25 The month start and ends fields could be done without referencing the fields if needed and handled within the calc using datetime parse/datetimeformat or the like. In many examples the end date of the employee will be after the month end but have kept the duration short for this example.In theory, a simple formula like the below should work, but I’ve tried so many different options of doing this and the formulas keep returning a 0 or error. The fields above are all calculated as date fields.WORKDAY_DIFF(

I’m trying to use the SUBSTITUTE function to get rid of emojis so I can have a “clean” version of some fields my client want to have as downloadable in .CSV I need to have a formula with a bunch of substiutions, but I started from the very first and I get nothing but errors, formula atm looks like this:SUBSTITUTE({Respuesta Pregunta 1},'✅','')I realised the error has something to do with the type of field of {Respuesta Pregunta 1} as it is a lookup field, just for testing I created a single text field next to it, copy the data of the lookups to the new text field, applied the formula to the text field, and it works. So I’m suspecting SUBSTITUTE doesn’t work with lookups? Any ideas to work this out?

I’m attempting to set up air table to distribute parents possessions between 10 siblings Scenario:  If there are 100 items and 10 lots of 10 items each.  Each sibling wishes to receive a certain decoy, a certain lamp, and a certain painting. Sibling one rates, only three items, the decoy, the lamp and the painting. Sibling 2 enters a rating for virtually every item on the lists Sibling three enters a rating for 30 different items on various lists that she desires, leaving the rest blank.  Under this scenario, my understanding of the program is that sibling one is almost certain to receive at least one of the three items she covets.  Sibling 2 is highly unlikely to receive any of the three items. Sibling 3 has a middling chance of receiving one of those three items. Am I correct?   

Sometimes we have URLs that include "?" for example www.mytravelsite.com/deals?destination=florida. Its best practise when adding UTMs that if a url already includes a "?" then the UTM should start with "&" instead. The below is the expected outcome of this.www.mytravelsite.com/deals?destination=florida&utm_source=Offsite_P195&utm_medium=Patnerships_Video&utm_campaign=VisitFlorida_Sep-Oct2023_YouTubeThis is the formula i have attempted to use.IF(FIND
